Spring into Fresh Threads - VW DriverGear

The newest DriverGear catalog for Spring/Summer is out and the selection is grand. As a self proclaimed expert shopper, I decided to take the time this week to share some of my favorite items that are currently being offered by VW DriverGear. I mean, who doesn’t love great apparel and accessories to show your enthusiasm for VW?

What’s a better accessory to start off with than a polished Volkswagen emblem key chain? To go on your VW key… Crazy brilliant, right?

And if you’re anything like me, you tote around a lot of stuff (sometimes too much) on a regular basis. So lanyards are usually the only way to find your keys. Well why not have it be a Volkswagen Motorsport lanyard? It has a snap link hook for your VW key fob and a loop for your phone on the keyring. Plus, it can help you further your aspirations to one day become a professional race car driver.. 

If you’re a serious caffeine addict, indulge your addiction with an awesome Wolfsburg mug. It’s microwave/dishwasher friendly, and sports the Wolfsburg crest, an icon for the Volkswagen brand. It makes every sip of coffee feel like you’re in Germany. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating on that last part.

Rain Rain.. Go Away.. But if you’re gonna stick around I’m going to rock these polka dot rain boots. So this might be more of feminine selection, but gentlemen… I guarantee your lady doesn't enjoy having wet feet. These super cute Wellies are perfect for all this ridiculous rain we’ve been getting (Global Warming is REAL!), while sporting the VW brand. Now go jump in a puddle, but make sure not to track mud into your VW. No one likes cleaning that up.

Summertime = Backyard BBQ’s, right? How would you like a hamburger with a VW emblem on it? And to go along with your VW grilling solutions, how about some entertainment along with it? This VW bus branded bag toss game will surely be a hit at your Das Auto themed Cook Out.

Protect your eyes with these sweet Malibu Volkswagen branded sunglasses. They come in 4 cool translucent colors, providing 100% UVA and UVB protection. Will fit perfectly at the Das Auto themed Cook Out, right?

If you want to fit in at a Das Auto themed Cook Out, your threads have to match of course. Well be unique and rock these R themed tshirts that make a killer statement. You’ve got a need. For speed.

Speaking of speed, got a tiny nugget in your life? Why not prep them to be a future driver with this adorable, yet clever onesie. You can’t help but giggle and say “Awwwww..” at the same time.

Of course since you were being a social media maven during this cook out, you probably drained your phone battery live tweeting your friend almost blowing up the grill. Don’t worry, we’ll help you get your cat meme fix with this fantastic Horse Power Mini. This convenient compact 2,800 mAh Li-Ion battery device can charge an iPad, smartphones, and other tablets. The actually device itself will charge just in a couple hours, so can be ready in times of peril (aka when your battery hits 5% when you’re trying to scroll through instagram). 

My last must have accessory for this summer is the PeopleForBikes Reflective Sticker. Not only does it keep you safe while road cycling, but 25% of the proceeds from this item goes to PeopleforBikes, a non-profit that Volkswagen of America sponsors. The organization started as Bikes Belong in 1999, and has spent over $30 million to improve and benefit the biking community on a national level. To find out more or if you’d like to join the movement, visit PeopleForBike’s website.

Now that you’ve seen my picks, head to Driver Gear yourself and see what you may fancy on top of my fantastic selections. And for first time Driver Gear purchasers, you get 20% off on your first purchase during the month of May, with a chance to win a free tent.
