2012 GEAR GUIDE: BIANCHI x GUCCI HELMET
See, track racing is so hot right now that even
Gucci is getting in on the game. This
Bianchi collabo helmet obviously takes its cues from pista
helmets commonly seen on the velodrome. The polycarbonate (plastic) helmet comes in two sizes with a mirrored visor, luxurious leather straps and the trademark Gucci stripes on a black or a white base. If you feel like flossin’ up like a bigass spender at the next local track meet, this domepiece will set you back $890 at the
Gucci store. Bling!
But we all know only basic bitches wear that shit so if you don’t don’t wanna bother, try showing some love for
an up-and-coming velodrome and get a carbon
Casco Warp 1501 for next season. At $310, it’s pretty much a third the price of the Gucci lid, all proceeds go to the development of the
Chicago Velo Campus and the
Casco is actually designed for track racing (looks cooler too).
