Title: USA availability of Hein Gericke
Post by: mtuduc on April 18, 2010, 06:43:59 PM
After a lot of searching, I cannot find a way to get Hein Gericke products in the US without having them shipped over a large body of water. I really like what I see in their jackets, but obviously I want to try some on and see them in person.

Does anybody know of a place to get them? Perhaps at the motogp or WSBK??

I would strongly consider this as a viable solution, however I don't think the 16ft Lund will make it across the Atlantic.

Occasionally, Sierra Trading Post has a few closeout models at very low prices.  SierraTradingPost.com

Here is a link to their motorsports page - they have two Hein Gericke jackets listed.  Their inventory changes frequently.

I do not recall seeing them at the race in Indy last year, lots of other vendors though.

This clears up some confusion. I thought I struck gold with a google search, but the heingerickeusa domain turned up to be for sale. I guess I'll have to go to good ol' Bob's Cycle and try on every single jacket they have.  ;D
