Just seeing what everybody uses for jacket whilst riding, I’m looking at the jitsie glow jacket at the moment, sounds like a good jacket windproof, waterproof, also has a hood so use whilst out and about. Just after some advice. It’s not the cheapest but only the same as a walking jacket big brands.

Hi guy's, i rode trials for a few years when i was 12, i'm now 21! I've done quite well at biketrials but I'd really like to get back onto a bike with an engine, just for the enjoyment of it really. When i rode hebo was the kit i always used and it always held up well and was a nice fit. I noticed a few newer brands such as Jitsie which i quite like the look of, how does it compare and what brands tend to be the best now days? I was thinking of going for a ful jitsie kit and possibly helmet providing the fit is good along with a decent brand of boots. Any suggestions welcomed. Hugh

I've just got some Gaerne balance natural oiled boots and some duckswax to treat them with. But how often do you need to apply the wax? After every ride? And do they need treating from new?

So you might have seen my intro and hello post re my new Montesa 4RT. Well I couldn’t buy a new bike and not have a helmet helmet to match, so I invested in this new Airoh TRR S model. It’s a fabulous helmet, can’t believe how light it is, spec says 850 grams, but it feels a lot lighter in use.

Hi All, looking for some suggestions/guidance on trials trousers, a mate of mine has been riding in various forms of trousers, work jeans/overalls etc for the last 6 months while he decides whether or not he likes our hobby/sport. He does and wants to purchase some more appropriate kit, the issue he is having is with the trousers. He is not the most normal shaped of chaps, a little broad in the beam and short legs!!!!! as he puts it i am not the right shape for an all in one lycra suit!! can anyone recommend some makes and types of trouser, something good on the skin (no hideous seams or bits to chaffe!) breathable, waterproof and good value (cost being the least i…

I like to ride in the fall in winter seasons but have a mild form off artritis, so it is important for me to keep warm. Recently i've bought myself a pair off Kenny bagy trousers, i think it is called the Evasion model, and a Max equipe shirt, Wulffsport, over this i am using a Jitsie jacket. This combo is warm enough for the body as long as it stays dry, thats why impragnate it regularly with a fabric sealant. The problem is keeping my hands warm and dry and the feet warm, boots can be sealed with leather compound. Has anyone a tip for a pair off gloves that can be made waterproof and can keep the hands warm enough during a day off riding and waiting for a section? …

Why do I struggle so much with gloves? I never seem to find a pair that doesn't 'roll' in the palm of my hands, and I end up going without again because i can't get as good a feel as without them. Can you fine people recommend a good pair of gloves that give almost that 'shrink to the skin' feel?? Scott is coming!

I'm not really into the look of the trials jerseys on offer, the MX selection is much wider. MX jerseys seem to be cheaper as well. Without wanting to come over all fashion conscious (which I certainly am not), is there a difference between MX and Trials Jerseys? Is it just the fit? Cheers,

Ok well I have been putting off initiating this thread for some time, but yet I do wonder if anyone has tried them and their results. After a mention some months ago about their supposid availability for the Mont, I was qurious enough to look them up on the website and read up upon all their jargon. Trust me, I have seen many such claims over the years of improved WHATEVER from sparkies! Mostly BS! In my experience, there are some things that work, and others that simply do not, and it varies by application so much that in a business sense I never vary from the factory recommendation, not an inch! As there can be many unexpected pitfalls between brands and ratings on pl…

I was after a bit of advice from any one who might of had the same problem! We are trying to find a helmet for my wife. In a Shoei road helmet she takes an XXS and it fits really nice. The current Shoei catalogue doesn't seem to list an open face helmet! We have tried Wolf XS too big, Hebo S too big. I know a trials helmet is never going to fit like a face helmet but we need to find something that doesn't fall off with the strap done up as the above sizes have done. Does anybody know of any helmets that might come up smaller than the one's I've mentioned?
