Lovingly handcrafted in Argentina El Dandy is an hommage to yet another Suixtil hero and one of its most colorful. Carlos (Charly) Menditeguy was a fearless Argentinean racer, as comfortable flying the Suixtil Coup at these terrifying TC races as he was behind the wheel of a sedated Ferrari for a “regular” GP. And, always always elegant and stylish to a fault and ever the gentleman – hence the nickname that we associated with his helmet.
The helmet shell is built from a base molded from resin and fibers while its inside is lined with natural cork of 3 mm (0.11 in) thickness. All straps are crafted from the finest real cow leather while the padding and covers are stitched from 100% cotton. The black outer leather smartly contrasts with the inner one and the comfort bands that Charly favored (clearly more for the looks than any pretended safety as with most helmets from the time).
This beautiful piece is sure to attract a lot of attention with its gorgeous patina and is crafted to the highest standard. It arrives nicely packed in a linen bag that you can use whenever taking the helmet to a track day or an event.
El Dandy comes in 3 sizes (thanks to an easy to install foam adjustment ring) that accommodates head sizes from 56 to 64 cm (22 to 25.5′) and is delivered by courier within 7 days of its order.
When you order this set (that offers you a nice saving too), we will also pack a superb Guard Visor along, so that you will be completely equipped for the beautiful road ahead – at life speed!
