It goes without saying that riding a retro-style motorbike entails embracing the more fashionable side of riding gear. Thankfully, these days, nearly all gear and equipment manufacturers have their own lineups of retro-inspired gear that incorporate modern-day tech and safety.
Having said all that, Helstons is a brand that stands out from the woodwork, particularly because it was one of the first to cater to the retro-themed genre. Nearly all of Helston's apparel collection caters to riders of either scramblers, cafe-racers, classic bikes, cruisers, and modern classics. To add to its already impressive selection of gear, the brand has just launched its newest jacket, the Monaco Air, a mesh jacket designed to offer maximum ventilation, while still giving off a classy, sophisticated look.
