Gear Fetish in the spotlight

What is the new "Gear Fetish" trend?

Gear fetish is a growing trend within the fetish community that has developed around the fascination with special clothing and equipment, also known as “gear”. The term “gear” encompasses everything from motorcycle suits and diving suits to tactical military clothing and rubber suits. This fetish is so popular because it appeals to all five senses – from the look and feel of the clothing to its smell and sound, to a sense of self-liberation that many experience from wearing the gear. Gear Fetish offers not only an aesthetic appeal, but also a form of escapism by literally ‘shedding’ the everyday. With an active online community and international events, Gear Fetish has developed into a multi-faceted phenomenon in recent years that emphasizes individuality and creativity.

The history and vision of the Alpha Gear Society

In the fascinating world of Gear Fetish, the association Gearhub Switzerland has just been established. The association was created by a group of passionate enthusiasts to offer like-minded people from Switzerland, Austria, Italy, France and southern Germany a platform for Gear Fetish. But what exactly is behind this unique community – and why does gear fetish exert such a great fascination on so many people?

The origin of the Alpha Gear Society

Dennis, also known as MXGearbiker, describes the idea behind the founding of AGS:

“Our goal was to create a meeting place for all gearheads who are enthusiastic about motocross, racing suits, SWAT, police and military equipment as well as sportswear, sneakers and puppies. Although many of us regularly travel to events in Germany, our region lacks a suitable platform. With the growing community in Switzerland and Austria, it was time to set up our own event – and so the idea was born to found the Gearhub Switzerland association with the aim of bringing the gear community closer together, among other things by organizing events. Our first event, the Alpha Gear Society (AGS), will take place on February 15, 2025 at the P9 event location in Biberist (between Bern and Solothurn). Here, both fans from the region and international visitors will find a place where they can live out their passion together.”

Values and mission: more than just an event

Fabio, known in the scene as Exo, summarizes the basic idea of AGS and Gearhub Switzerland:

“Our aim is to offer gear enthusiasts an unforgettable experience – a real adventure in Gear. Whether through creative roleplay, energetic music or unique party nights, we create a world where freedom, community and adventure are paramount. Our welcoming atmosphere, talented DJs and select catering will ensure that this event is something special. With Alpha Gear Society, we not only want to offer an event, but also create a platform with Gearhub Switzerland that promotes exchange and networking in the community and focuses on shared adventure.”

The LGBTIQ+ community: an important part of AGS

The LGBTQIA+ community is a central part of AGS, as Dennis explains:

“Although we welcome everyone, the majority of our members are part of the LGBTQIA+ community. The Gear Fetish allows people to creatively immerse themselves in different roles and playfully combine identity and fantasy. “This openness is what makes our community so special.”

A look at the upcoming event

On February 15, 2025, the Alpha Gear Society celebrates its inaugural event – a highlight for the community. Fabio reveals what guests can expect:

“In collaboration with the event location P9, we bring you an immersive experience that appeals to all the senses. Experience a vibrant dance floor with talented DJs, relaxed chill-out areas and themed adventure zones – from Puppy Play to SWAT and MX gear for bikers. For those looking for more, we offer a specially designed playroom and delicious food from a selected food truck. Get ready for a unique adventure in Gear – there’s something for everyone!”

Why AGS is different

Dennis emphasizes the special features of the event:

“Our clearly defined themed areas and the spacious darkroom make us unique. In addition, the event is organized entirely by volunteers from the association, which allows us to keep prices fair without compromising on quality. That’s what makes AGS special.”

Gear Fetish: An expression of identity

What exactly does it mean to be a Gearhead? Dennis explains:

“A gear lover has a particular affinity for special clothing and equipment – be it leather, rubber, motocross outfits, uniforms or neoprene. This passion is often closely linked to identity and fantasy. Gear offers many people a sense of strength, protection and self-confidence. At the same time, it serves as an outlet to escape from everyday life and immerse oneself in a new role.”

Events such as those organized by AGS by Gearhub Switzerland offer gearheads the opportunity to express themselves in a safe environment and meet like-minded people. Such events create space for exchange and inspiration.

Future plans of the Alpha Gear Society

AGS has ambitious plans, as Dennis reports:

“Gearhub Switzerland wants to make various events an integral part of the event landscape. In addition to summer and winter editions, we are planning regular meetings, motorcycle excursions and other events to further strengthen the community.”

An appeal to the curious

Fabio is aimed at anyone who is interested in AGS but is still unsure:

“Show us your gear and become part of something unique! Whether you’re an experienced gearhead or just taking your first steps into the scene, AGS is the place for you. Our open and passionate community is looking forward to welcoming you and introducing you to the fascinating world of gear fetish. Get your tickets now at alphagearsociety.com.
