Biltwell Gringo Helmet - Solid

When it comes to retro or vintage bikes it is always important to have your gear match the vibe of your ride and for many years that meant wearing either an open face helmet or putting on a crusty old Bell Star or Buco Allsport if you wanted a fullface helmet that looked the part. Well, thanks to the wonderful folks over at Biltwell, the Gringo is here to wrap your head in a combination of old school style and modern safety.

The DOT certified Gringo helmet is built to suit the needs of contemporary riders, with a beautifully crafted diamond stitched removable liner, an eyeport that accepts pretty much any type of goggle you could want to wear, as well as 5 snaps that work with any universal 3-snap shield, Biltwell’s own Bubble shield or their 5-snap Blast shield. So next time you hop on your chop or throw a leg over your bike leave that vintage helmet on the shelf where it belongs and grab a Gringo.

Features:

  • Injection-molded ABS outer shell with hand-painted finish
  • Expanded polystyrene inner shell
  • Hand-sewn removable brushed Lycra liner with contrasting diamond-stitched quilted open-cell foam padding
  • Internal BioFoam chin pad with hand-sewn contrast stitching
  • Rugged plated steel D-ring neck strap with adjustment strap end retainer
  • Rubber or chrome accent edging on shell and eye port
  • DOT Approved

Note: The Bubble Shield and Goggles are sold separately.

Shape: Round Oval
Weight: 2.99 lbs.

Worth the every penny!
Bought this helmet for my husband, and am completely thrilled with the product overall. He loves the fit, and look of it, specifically commenting on the simplicity of the design. Thanks for a good product to protect my husband while he rides his motorcycle.

All round decent 3/4
Read a few reviews to get a better idea of what size I needed, luckily was able to try the sizes in my range at a local shop. I wear a 7 3/8 fitted hat 58cm-59cm depending on my hair length etc. In the size chart I'm Medium and borderline Large, since I have a intermediate oval shape this helmet fits tighter from forehead to back of the head, so I opted for the large, wasn't a dream fit but was closing enough to be comfortable and not produce any hotspots, I have a narrow cheeks so bought the 33mm XS cheek pads to fine tune the fit, I wear a Medium in a Shoei RF-1100/1200 and X14. obviously these helmets fit spot on due the the shape they are made for. but the gringo in a Large did the trick great style and airflow might because of the narrow cheeks I get a good amount of air flow to my temples. I dig it for hot days or when I'm using my Thruxton or Harley and not my liter bike. other then that build quality looks good for the price point. hope this helps your decision!

Not for highway use
This helmet is only for the style and riding around town. If you do highway miles, dont buy this helmet. I have about 15k miles with this helmet, maybe more, i like the look, but anything over 70mph it feels like your head is going to tear off and wind noise is very loud over 50mph. My 1960s arthur fulmer helmets are more aerodynamic and comfortable at speeds. But none the less, after all those miles the finish is still nice and the interior is still holding up great. If you want a highway helmet, save up and buy a bullitt, otherwise this is a good helmet.

Disposable Helmet
After a few years this helmet has totally fallen apart. These are style pieces, protection is sketchy, I use this to be legal on short trips. Mine is on it's last legs and I would not purchase another product from biltwell.

Very cool at a good price
I love this helmet - I bought it because it looks cool, and according to the guy who yelled out when I was stopped at an intersection, it is! I also have a Shoei GT-Air which fits me perfectly, so I should point out that this helmet is slightly too short front to back for my head. I only bought it for short distance riding (e.g. around town or less than 50km) and it’s not uncomfortable over that sort of time, but if it was going to be your only helmet you might want to think more about the fit. I also bought a bubble visor, which requires a firm press to attach to the snaps on the helmet, but is very secure once you do. Even with the visor on I get plenty of air up the sides from underneath the helmet, though I assume in summer it’ll get hot on my scalp. Build quality is excellent. Overall, very happy with this helmet

First full face
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.

I love that it has a range of colors to choose from, it took me a week to decide. Eventually I got the Baja Blue and I love it! Very stylish and vintage.

The comfort is great and my head feels cushioned all around that I can nap wearing it.

Sizing is true to size for me. My exact measurement is 53cm and got an XS. I thought I had to order an S since it's my size with the Bell Custom 500. Glad I followed the size chart or I wouldn't be able to return it from the Philippines.

Vision is wide enough to see what needs to be seen. The only angle not so much is looking down when checking the speedometer or probably Waze, but it's not really that much of a big deal since I rarely look at the speedometer and I'm in full stop or slow moving when I look at Waze.

I haven't rode in it above 50mph so I can't say how much of that air noise I get. It's so far tolerable, but definitely more noise than I comfortably had with the Custom 500.

My only negative feedback is that it takes time to put on my shades and flip my face cover up and down, but I'll eventually get the right angle to do those quickly.

Comfortable Helmet with a lot of air flow
It's a comfortable helmet with a lot of airflow. Good style, and it is nice to have some chin protection. I have a Gringo S that I have been wearing the last two years and I love it. This helmet is just like it.

Comfortable helmet. Without a face shield wind can grab the helmet and lift your head at higher speeds. But overall its a good helmet for nice weather, city and low speed country riding.

Was looking for a retro style helmet that matched my skull and this was the match. Looks great and very comfortable.
Carl N on Oct 9, 2015
Is there a cooler looking full face helmet on the market? I also have a pretty big head and have trouble finding helmets to fit that don't give me a massive headache. The reviews say that it should meet my requirements and still look the goods. Really excited for this helmet to turn up. I've wanted one since they were first released.
Wato69 W on Oct 2, 2015
I lost my previous two Biltwell Bonanza helmets in freak accidents. They must be cursed. Hopefully the Gringo will bring better luck.
Daniel O on Sep 19, 2015
I got it for the simple, classic design. I got the Hazard Orange color and being a new rider I feel a little more confidant in terms of being visible.
Kenny R on Sep 16, 2015
Simple, classic design, great value for money, a nice fit, and many, many positive reviews from others. :)
Justin M on Sep 11, 2015
This helmet has had amazing reviews everywhere I've looked. Thought I'd give it a go as my friends are getting on my case about getting a full face helmet. Excited to give it a go!

I like the old school look and this has a very utilitarian shape to it. no nonsese, no vents, just a simple face/head cover.

So there are two shells, one for XS S and M, and one for the larger sizes. Do we know how much bigger the larger one is? Is it a visible difference?

Also seeing reviews saying to buy one size smaller, and one size bigger. Would love a definitive answer on this. My head on the tape measure is just under 23" right now, but I have a full head of hair and would be willing to shave it all off. Not sure if people do that and notice a difference in fit.

BEST ANSWER: I always need a large, the large fits me fine, a little tight in the cheek pads. This helmet fits rounder heads (front to back) than oval heads.
The description on the site says get one size smaller, but in your YouTube video comments, you (CK) recommended to get one size bigger. I wear size M in Shoei (RF-1100) and it fits my extremely well. Which size should I go for here?
Talha S on Mar 9, 2014
BEST ANSWER: I am not sure about Shoei sizing, but I have a Med HJC and a Med Licks Nov Dot and some others. The HJC fits me spot on and the Nov Dot did when I first bought it, but after 1 year it stretched out. The Gringo seems a bit like the Nov Dot. I bought a Med and have a feeling it's going to be too big next year. I think a bandanna would work to keep it snug as it stretches out, though.
So I know that the size chart is provided by the manufacturer and they always seem to be off.
I'm measuring for a medium but 1 size smaller is what is suggested by Revzilla...
Some users seem to have commented to go 1 size larger though. Any thoughts on what to get here? I live in Australia so would like to avoid having to send the item back to swap.

BEST ANSWER: I wear an XL in both the Gringo and the Bell Custom 500, so... The Gringo is a tad bit bigger than I would like but stepping down to a size Large would be too small. So I guess if you wear a medium in other helmets and that feels a tad big then go with a Small. But if a Medium is kinda snug on other helmets then go with the Medium for the Gringo. Hope this helps.
Hi, can anyone suggest any retro look kind of goggle that suitable with gringo?
A shopper on Sep 22, 2013
BEST ANSWER: I think vintage aviator style goggles would be something to look at. I've seen em on several sites from relatively cheap to super sturdy/expensive. The look would totally depend on you the rider though.
I got this helmet and I love it! My head measures 21" and I got the small. It fits in the crown comfortably but loose on my cheeks/chin. Will the top 'break in'? Should I got down a size and get the XS? This is my first helmet so i dont know how tight it needs to be. Thanks.

BEST ANSWER: Meredith,
You shouldn't be able to turn the helmet while it's on your head. I've had a Gringo for a few months now and I haven't noticed much "break-in". To me it sounds like your helmet is a little big for you and you may want to go down a size. All helmets should have a snug fit, but not be so tight that you have to cram it on. Make sure your chin strap is tight as well, and keep in mind the gringo chin bar should cover your mouth as intended. Hope this helps.

Hey - I have a Bell Custom 500 in size small and it fits me perfectly. Should I expect that a small would be the size to go for in a Gringo?
A shopper on Aug 26, 2013
BEST ANSWER: I have a Bell Custom 500 and a Biltwell Gringo, and they are the same size (both large). As others have mentioned, the Biltwell is a little tighter around the cheeks, but I expected that going to a full-face helmet.
Hi, guys!

Just bought my first bike, and I'm looking for a full size - open face type helmet.

I like this one, but I have an issue. Does anyone know if I can fit basic eyeglasses while wearing this helmet? I wear not so dorky Buddy Holly type classes.

Thanks!

BEST ANSWER: I wear glasses of a similar and I just bought this helmet. If you're going to wear a shield, it gets tricky. I have to remove my glasses, put the helmet on, put my glasses back on, and then snap the blast shield in place. But I have to do this with just about any helmet I wear, so it's not much of an issue for me. However, if you have a bubble shield, I find that they are harder to snap into place with the helmet already on.
Does the Matte Titanium color lean toward silver or gold? Thanks.
A shopper on May 5, 2014
BEST ANSWER: Silver.. I Put a smoke mirror on it and it looks like an astronaut helmet. Lots of compliments..
I have 3 questions. 1: Is the white more of a cream? I have a cream vespa and was wondering if it would look good. the stock photo looks more cream but the video looks more white. 2: how accurate is the size chart? does it run small or big? 3: does it cover your chin? In the video it looks like it doesnt cover his chin very well but I am a girl and have a smaller face.
A shopper on Oct 15, 2013
BEST ANSWER: 1. To answer your question the white does have a slight tint to it. But it's not quite cream colored, and when in the sun it's pretty bright white due to reflection. 2. The size chart is accurate, but take in to account after wearing the helmet for a bit the pads tend to wear down slightly. I measured 22 3/4 which is the cusp of an xlarge but I bought a large and it fits perfectly and the cheek pads are snug at first but begin to loosen. 3. Mine covers my chin. But that really just determines how your head build is. The video, the guy wears his pretty high. I tend to pull my helmet down and forward and it fits right at mid forehead and covers my chin just fine. Hope this helps!
Hi will a Bell Custom 500 Retro 3 Snap Shield (flat not bubble) fit this helmet or will this only work with a bubble shield?
A shopper on Aug 21, 2013
BEST ANSWER: The Bell 500 3 snap shield won't fit a gringo. Tried it...
