There’s a new range of helmets that have just arrived in SA, so how about this Draken Star that we picked out, mainly due to the bright and insane graphics?

Axxis are a Spanish brand and offer affordable helmets, which are all DOT approved, enforcing build quality and safety requirements. Anyway, something looking this cool will certainly attract attention wherever you ride. The matt finished blue/white colour scheme is tactile to say the least because everyone wants to rub their hands over it, and we found ourselves doing the same.

However, one of the most impressive attributes is the price – check it out below, and that could just entice you enough to own one?  

Price: R2,500 (black visor R495 extra).     Click on www.dmd.co.za (011 792 7691) to find your closest Axxis dealer locations within South Africa, and for more information

It’s starting to get a bit chilly out there so why not keep your head warmer with one of these splendid new caps from the KTM, that have just arrived?

We’ve only taken these images of a few on offer but as you can see there’s a vast range to choose from, 24 to be precise. KTM offer curved or flat peaks, and there’s a range for the kids too, which is nice and considerate. 

There’s no doubt about the quality though, as usual.

Price: R580- R800.  Go to www.radktm.co.za for more details, or call (011 234 5007)

We’ve always been the biggest fans of the superb range offered by the SBK Eyewear range, and this new offering is of no exception.

Bill has chosen this particular pair to wear throughout the year because of the new gradient tinted lens, which help with his aging eyes when he goes shopping. Basically, the top has a darker tint than the bottom section, so he doesn’t have to remove them when looking down at the fruit stall. They’re also extremely light due to the new construction, also helpful for his aging nose and ears.

All SBK Eyewear products also come with this sturdy travel case, cleaning cloth, cleaning fluid and a ‘free’ matching cap.

Price: R1,700  Go to www.exclusiveproducts.co.za to view their latest vast range and for ordering.

The Defender suit is made from super-tough textile materials with even stronger inserts sown into the high wear areas around the inside of the leg, and the like.

 A wealth of pockets, on both the jacket and pants, will assist with things you need upon your journey. We especially like the choice of colour – ideal for our South African terrain.

Price: Jacket R6,828  Pants: R4,877 (can be sold separately).   Go to www.radktm.co.za or call (011 234 5007) for more information.
