Garibaldi G07X - Graphics Matt White

Garibaldi has been manufacturing garments, gloves and accessories for motorcyclists since 1972. It started its own business into the spare-part car market under the brand name of Pedro Guillamet, importing the most representative Italian brands. At a second stage Garibaldi's founders, Josep Maria Guillamet and Isabel Garibaldi, drifted their main product business to enter the motorbike market, which had huge potential, and set up the company Guillamet Garibaldi. In 1975, they changed its name to Garibaldi and launched the Internazionale jacket, which represented a first great hit. The second bestseller arrived later with the so-called Original, the first Spanish wax jacket for motorcyclists. In the 80s Garibaldi focused on the handmade competition leather suits and signed up the best riders of that time such as Ricardo Tormo, Sito Pons, Aspar, Alex Crivillé, Alex Barros, Carlos Checa, Sete Gibernau, Toni Elias, Dani Pedrosa, Jordi Tarrés, Marc Colomer, Carlos Mas, David Checa, B. Grau and P.Voltà among others. Most of them became World Champions, with Garibaldi :18 World Champion titles are the final result of this successful period. In those early times the company mainly produced rider leather suits and greasing garments in its workshop in Vilanova del Camí (Igualada) and also became the exclusive distributor in Spain for the Italian helmet manufacturer Nolan Group. This lifelong relationship lasted until late 2019, when it was time to let go and build up an own range of helmets on the basis of this long-lasting experience.
