Garibaldi

Garibaldi® has been manufacturing garments, gloves and accessories for motorbikers 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 best-seller arrived later with the so-called Original, the first Spanish wax jacket for motorbikers. In the 80’s 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. The first open-face collection came in the  summer of 2020  and full-faces and flip-ups joined throughout 2021. The latter are all provided with Pinlock® and an ample space for the Bluetooth system.

At the moment a cohesive team manages the company enhanced by the collaboration of many faithful designers. Georgina, Isabel and Josep Maria´s daughter, took over the lead of the company in 2010. Since then achieving excellence in all aspects of her work and fostering a hi-quality culture has always been her goal. Garibaldi makes its garments with the best materials and fabrics and its suppliers have been chosen from the best specialists of each field to guarantee an utmost quality. One of the latest innovation examples is the patented "Plis Plas" knuckle protector, an identifying mark of the glove collection since 2021. It´s a vented protector made of two distinctive parts that provides a glove with an extra ventilation, depending only on the upper part knuckle position (upper parts are interchangeable). Another upside is the possibility to substitute the upper part with ease in case of it being damaged as well as to have access to endless colour variants with both the lower and upper parts .
