Gringo S: The Helmet That Launched a Revolution

When we added a face shield to the eye-port of our iconic Gringo helmet, we gave global bikeriders a whole new—or should we say old?—way of looking at style and safety for two-wheeled fun. Before Gringo S, the popularity of sport bikes and their aerodynamic aesthetic had rubbed off on helmets until the majority of modern lids now look more like stealth aircraft than motorcycle gear. So many fins, vents, bone lines, and diffusers. While such superficial filigree might work great in Moto GP, much of it seems like overkill if you’re just riding a Ducati Scrambler to a campground in Baja. If “Less is More” is your credo, Gringo S is your helmet.

Built by hand with the same materials as its stripped-down sibling Gringo, our Gringo S meets both US DOT and European ECE R22.06 standards for rider safety. Its injection-molded polycarbonate shield features simple hinge hardware with discrete aluminum washers you can swap out with other anodized colorways to customize the look. Because the shield is CE certified, it meets all European standards for impact- and scratch-resistance and boasts anti-fog treatment for optical clarity in suboptimal riding conditions. For daytime excursions, a broad range of smoke and mirror accessory shields is available. For those who prefer a pinch of space-age magic in their moto gear, we offer a Gringo S replacement shield with Pinlock photochromic lens that transitions from clear to dark in harsh sunlight—the best option for all conditions.

Inside, Gringo S features a hand-stitched three-piece comfort liner. For fine-tuning your fit, we offer accessory cheek pads in different thicknesses. Outside, every Gringo boasts a hand-crafted, automotive-quality paint finish, with this year’s line offering five standard and three limited-edition graphic colorways. Gringo S. Is it modern? Is it retro? The answer to both questions is yes.
