Here are a few words from Roland Sandas about the 2017 fall lineup.
“As the years roll by we find ourselves expanding our riders apparel collection to fit the needs of our motorcycle addiction. Two wheels is an easy inspiration. Freedom, exploration, friendship, fun and the continuous call of the open road are what we need to keep the midnight fires burning bright. We find there’s no end to the work, there’s no stopping point where we say this is the best it could ever be. It’s a continual process of improvement, learning from where we have been and putting that education to work in the development of our newest collection.”
And Rob Ramlose, Apparel Brand Manager, adds this:
“For Fall 2017 we’ve focused on armor expansion, innovative materials and unique styles that perform as well as they look. We’ve remained focused on delivering a lifestyle friendly apparel collection that doesn’t compromise function. This is an idea we will continue to develop and one we feel our consumers will appreciate.” – Rob Ramlose, apparel brand manager.
