I think Hein Gericke chains would do well over here in the USA.

Good gear, reasonably priced.

Um, actually, at least the one Hein Gericke store I've visited, in Wiesbaden, Germany, didn't strike me as a house of bargains.  They're not super-spendy (say the cost of BMW gear) but they're not inexpensive (comparing to chains such as Louis).  And the shelves, in early July of this year, looked a tad thin.

Not enough Skullz and Flamez nor tribal graphics, no NASCAR marketing tie-ins, nor OCC/Monster Energy/TapOut, BudWeiser etc.

Guaranteed fail. Bubba would not buy.  Lol

Can't recall is I ever went in a HG store when I lived inthe UK, I certainly didn't buy anything from them. I'm cheap though, bought most of my gear in Birmingham at the annual bike show.

My first m/c jacket back in the early 90's was a HG Scout II.  Fantastic road trip jacket (for leather).  Of course it doesn't fit anymore...

I've still got my old Stealth jacket that I bought in '87 or '88 and just picked up a pair of V-Pilot pants via Craigslist. The jacket has been used and abused the past 25 yrs and looks no worse for wear. Very, very quality stuff  Thumbsup
 Sad Sad news though  Thumbsdown
