The Biltwell Lane Splitter Helmet has been in limited release since it was introduced – demand has been so strong that no sooner is a new batch listed for sale than they sell out. The design of the full face Lane Splitter builds on the popularity of the Biltwell Gringo helmet – their original retro full face lid built to DOT standards.
The Lane Splitter helmet has an ABS injection moulded shell with an impact absorbing EPS liner, and hand-stitched interior padding. It’s currently being offered with both ECE R22.05 and DOT safety standards met, and it has a comfortable hand-sewn removable brushed Lycra liner with contrasting diamond-stitched quilted open-cell foam padding. There are audio pockets in the ear recesses for those who like to listed to music, and there’s a CNC laser cut polycarbonate flip-up shield.
A new batch is due to arrive within days, and pre-orders can be placed below.

Aside from their bespoke handmade watches, my favorite thing about Bamford is the fact that they rustle the jimmies of snooty purists. At their core, Bamford is a horological blood-brother of tuning houses like BMW’s M Motorsport division and the Mercedes-Benz AMG team. Instead of cars Bamford takes wristwatches made by many of the best…
The 1965 Pontiac GTO Chief Camino is a one-off vehicle that should almost certainly have been built and offered for sale by Pontiac in the mid-1960s.
