It all started when Danilo Coto Cruz bought a vintage motorcycle and wanted a helmet to match the cool timeless style of the Zündapp KS 601. After spending years collecting and restoring vintage motorcycles and helmets Danilo decided to make himself a ‘brand new’ vintage style helmet. The resulting helmet is how Pacto Vintage Racing Helmets was born.
The brand has developed a cult-like following in Japan and the UK thanks to Danilo’s attention to detail and the handcrafted nature of the helmets. While Pacto is online, the bulk of the brand’s new customers come from word of mouth with orders coming in from enthusiasts around the globe.
Expanding beyond helmets, Pacto is now offering vintage-inspired racing shoes, jackets, and retro trucker hats. In addition to making products for the Pacto brand the small team is busy producing private label products for other vintage motorsport lifestyle brands around the world.
