Gimoto Previews the WAS+ Riding Suit Gimoto WAS+ suit The importance of wearing the proper safety gear is no longer a secret to riders, with all manufacturers seeking to develop new technologies that enhance the riders’ protection. From the same centre that designed an homologated airbag gilet ten years ago, Gimoto, comes a new riding suit, dubbed WAS+.

That's how I think about it. Kind of like ski boots, but you can't walk in ski boots. Ski boots are kind of lame that way. Motorcycle boots are sort of like what you get when you want a running shoe designed for a cross country race on a volcano on a pla
