OUR MISSION STATEMENT

AGV Sports Group is a company that has quietly provided some of the best protective gear, in the world, for motorcyclists for over 35 years. We have remained one of the oldest rider-owned and operated apparel companies in the motorcycle industry. AGV Sports Group produces high-quality protective apparel, offering top performance at a great value. Born in the early days of AGV Helmet’s entry into the US market, AGV Sports Group has a unique technical outlook on the design of our protective apparel.

Our commitment to materials and design innovation has played a major role in the evolution of the AGVSPORT product line. Our products are engineered to be strong, light, abrasion-resistant, cool, and comfortable. From affordable entry-level products to world-class high-performance safety apparel for professional racers, AGVSPORT products are geared for the serious rider or racer…

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Our unique seam construction provides durability, protection, and flexibility where you need it. Multi-Tech Stitching provides extreme abrasion and tear resistance for outside arms, legs, and back seams. Multi-Four Stitching provides increased flexibility while maintaining great abrasion and tear resistance properties for the inside of your arms, legs and along the latissimus dorsi muscles of your back. Multi- Triple Stitching provides maximum flexibility for low impact areas such as your chest while still maintaining good abrasion and tear resistance.

AGVSPORT products are designed to be articulate while maintaining protection. Our products are functional because we focus on reinforcing high-impact areas and improving dexterity where it is important. Most companies focus on the look and do not fully understand the premise of rider safety and comfort. The most crucial impact areas are your backside, spine, limb joints, and palms.

We use additional back padding, triple nylon stitching, and 1.4mm premium full-grain cowhide leather in order to protect these key areas. 1.2mm premium cowhide leather, polyester mesh, Keprotec®, and Dyneema® are used in low impact areas such as the arms, chest, sides, and interior to allow our apparel to maintain its flexibility and ventilation for a comfortable ride.

Our leather suits have perforated leather construction in critical areas to provide our riders with comfort without sacrificing safety. In addition, our removable inner liners allow our suits and jackets to ventilate when it is warm and insulate when it is cold.
