The Protection Business – Italian Style
NOW WITH FULL CE APPROVAL
It can be a dangerous world out there and, if you are thinking of taking to two wheels, you will need to protect yourself just in case the unexpected really does happen. And that is where Gimoto comes in.
The Milanese manufacturer of leather race suits, jackets and trousers has been in the rider-protection business for over 40 years and has a reputation as one of the finest producers of bespoke outfits. And because their output is relatively small, and the fifteen craftsmen make everything by hand in Italy, they can manufacturer made-to-measure suits as economically as the bigger brands churn out their mass-produced standard wear.
Not only do Gimoto cater for racers and serious road riders with their top-quality one-piece outfits but also have ranges for women and kids, along with the waterproofs, gloves, accessories and apparel that make them a one-stop shop for the finest protective gear you can buy for riding out.
And to prove that last statement, Gimoto has become the first manufacturer in the world to design and produce a race suit that exceeds the CE standard for a complete garment. And that approval is not for just a few sizes, but for the whole range of WAS+ suits from Euro sizes 48–58 as well as the company’s renowned made-to-measure designs.
Gimoto suits are made from top-quality Kangaroo or Cow hide and have triple or quadruple stitching with taped seams for extra security. Aramid stretch panels provide manoeuvrability and comfort, and CE approved armour is used.
Select your own colours, specify an aerodynamic race hump, and choose the level of ventilation.
You can also specify a 'touring fit' or the closer 'race fit'.
Do it yourself – at home:
You don't have to go all the way to Italy to get this service: you can design your unique suit using the on-line design tool 'Colour Switcher' and have the suit delivered to your door, all handled by the UK distributor – Moto Comp Ltd.
Riders and teams in the know choose Gimoto:
The official MSS Colchester Kawasaki British Superbike squad of Simon Andrews and Gary Mason have been Gimoto equipped this year, as have the Gearlink Kawasaki Supersport team.
Simon Andrews says:
I recovered really quickly from a massive 158mph collision during the World Superbike round at Valencia (which I am sure many of you have seen on YouTube – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xGd0_3sYck&p=16565B98D6280A31&playnext=1&index=10) and the only injuries I sustained when I hit the pit wall were to my feet and hands proving that these suits really do work well along with looking great.
Gary Mason says:
Gimoto leathers are fantastic. After highsiding at Brands Hatch I was uninjured due to the protection and quality of leathers. I was the only person that weekend to crash at Druids and still be able to ride and I believe that is down the protection that Gimoto leathers provide. I even used the leathers I crashed in to carry on that weekend as there were no holes or rips in them!
