Macna Atmos gloves.

Ready to use for a few seasons is an AGV K3 S-V helmet, a Macna Imbuz jacket, a pair of Macna Individi Jeans and a pair of Macna Atmos gloves. With Macna gear being my go to brand over the past few years and saving me in two nasty accidents, I’m excited to see if they hold up as well as they have in the past. Check out the product details below…

AGV K3 S-V Helmet
AGV’s K-3 S-V helmet has been developed using their Finite Element Analysis technique in order to maximise comfort, aerodynamics and safety, both for racers and for road riders looking for performance and comfort. A special ventilation system also provides optimal airflow with the XQRS visor mechanism making visor swaps effortless.

There are a range of different liveries to choose from for the K3- S-V.

The diffuser isn’t just for good looks, it has aerodynamic capabilities.

Plenty of ventilation systems to keep your head cool.
