guys Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I would use the search function, there's already a lot of info on different gear brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattylad Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Gear can be relatively simple. Open face helmet, trials specific boots and gloves are all the essentials. I have used Alpinestars MX pants in winter but prefer trials lycra for most of the year. (By the way Wulfsport is cheap and good enough). I personally use a long sleeve shirt but that up to you. Most of all enjoy, its not what you look like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalley250 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Is it not a ACU requirement to have long sleeves. Was back in 90`s as a steward pulled me up in summer for wearing a tee shirt, so i borrowed a mates wool jumper. Boots: Alpinestars no stop Black or White if your vain and a superstar. Helmet: Airoh or Hebo Clothing: Hebo, Clice, or Mots This is only my opinion as there is Jitsie and many more. Mountain bike gear is often used as i have a very light weight breathable waterproof jacket I wouldnt go with Motorcycle matching gear ie GasGas or Beta in case you change bike, as like me years ago bought it all new to find i hated the bike id bought. Fantic 245. Edited April 23, 2014 by smalley250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 FWIW, I'm an enduro rider switching to do some trials. I'll suddenly look like a bit of a clod, but aside from some Sidi trials boots for better feel, all my gear is basically staying the same: full face helmet, Fox integrated body armor, Klim armored spandex under my normal Klim pants. Like I said, I look a bit of a clod, but I've never had issues seeing with a full face and I like a Snell certified lid on my mellon. I've had enough nasty crashes to appreciate a good helmet. Same with the armor. It gives me incentive to stay in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandabs Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm new to the sport, using old motocross boots by Alpinestars, gloves by Fly and just bought a Wulfsport helmet, it arrives tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
