MR. BARBAREIANS 2026. LEATHER & GEAR CONTEST . MAY 15
4 contenders enter. One takes the title.
Another year. Higher stakes.
Mr. BarBareians returns to The Bullet Bar, Los Angeles for its second edition.
This is a leather & gear contest built on presence, attitude, and raw control.
Not a popularity vote. Not a performance piece.
You don’t talk your way into this.
You step in — and take it.
Four contenders — Chris, Eric, Tyla, and Zaddy — go head-to-head for the title, judged on presence, energy, and command of the room.

Winner walks with:
- 5 nights for 2 at Tryst Puerto Vallarta (with breakfast)
- $250 F&B credit at Tryst Puerto Vallarta
- A custom BarBareians title vest by Rough Trade
