Suixtil The Champ Helmet

Handcrafted in Argentina the Suixtil The Champ replica helmet is an hommage to racing hero: Alberto Ascari (nicknamed Ciccio, though we cannot really fathom why). Ascari won some of the early world championship titles whilst these were hotly contested. A rightfully proud Italian racer, who grew up in a family that seemed to nurture them, whatever the cost. Ciccio was Ferrari’s first title holder and was one of the most prolific drivers of his era and managed a glorious career, even if he dived in the Monaco harbour with a D50 at one point. He was always to be seen with his iconic aquamarine helmet.

The helmet shell is built from a base molded from resin  and fibres whilst the inside is lined with natural cork  of 3 mm (0.11 in) thickness.  All straps are crafted from the finest real cow leather while the padding and covers are stitched from 100% cotton. The grey outer fabric smartly contrasts with both the aged leather straps and metal buckle and the inner leather lining. Another stunning detail: The Champ has small metal arrows right under the Suixtil logo, to hold the strap of the goggles in place while driving while the back leather strap is embossed.

This beautiful piece is sure to attract a lot of attention with its gorgeous patina and is crafted to the highest standard.  It arrives nicely packed in a linen bag that you can use whenever taking the helmet to a track day or an event. Ideal for open top driving or historic events.
