Is Firstgear on Sale? November 2026

Questions and answers

What is Firstgear known for?

Textile riding gear aimed at touring and commuting. The Kathmandu jacket line is its best-known piece, and it also makes helmets such as the Hyperion Carbon and Vulcan modular.

Is the Hyperion Carbon helmet lighter than a regular full-face?

Yes. The carbon fiber shell cuts weight compared with Firstgear's polycarbonate and composite helmets, which matters on long rides and reduces neck fatigue. The trade-off is a higher cost than the standard shells.

What makes the Vulcan a modular helmet?

The chin bar flips up, so you can open the front at stops or to talk without removing the helmet. That convenience adds weight and noise versus a fixed full-face like the Hyperion.

What does the Kathmandu 2.0 jacket offer for touring?

It is a textile touring jacket with a waterproof membrane and venting, plus armor at the shoulders and elbows. It suits cold and wet rides better than a mesh summer jacket, at the cost of warmth in hot weather.

Does Firstgear gear come with a warranty?

Firstgear covers its apparel and helmets against manufacturing defects for a limited period, typically one year. Keep your receipt, since claims go through the retailer or Firstgear directly.

Are there Firstgear discount codes?

Deal.ai checks what Firstgear products actually cost at every store, so a real markdown shows on this page as a deal as soon as it starts, and each product's page has its price history to tell a sale from its usual price.
