Trials Gear

Has anyone any advice on eye protection while trials riding please? Are there any suitable safety glasses that work ok inside a helmet? I use mx goggles for enduros, but they are probably overkill for trials cheers

I currently have the gaerne oiled boots, such a comfy boot, but after a good soaking they become extremely soft and i nearly ripped my little toe off at the reeth, so has anyone tried the standard gaernes? Are they a little tougher when wet?

When i was getting into the sport i remember having a sherco one piece suit which was around 2005, seems like it was a few weeks ago but that was a long 12 years ago Do people still wear them? sell them ? have them ? Mink Man

I very rarely ride sections where my car is parked 20 yards away but more trail riding where my car is miles away and I’m just wondering what others, who ride similarly, take along with them. The things I take are carried in a backpack and include basic tools (sockets, Torx sockets, screw bits, pliers, spark p. wrench), spark plug, first aid, phone, tire pencil gauge, extra air filter, tire sealant, extra fuel, small flashlight, silicone tape, wire, zip ties, 2 chain quick links, and water. I don’t carry tire irons because I’ve had very good luck with sealants. I’m also not interested in clothing because that changes with the seasons but I’m wondering if I’m missing anyth…

Hi, I'm planning to pick up my first trials bike tomorrow, super excited. I've done MX for many years and wear knee braces due to 2 ACL recons on my left knee. Just getting peoples opinion of if people think I should wear my MX braces for Trials, i'd prefer not to as I feel they'll be bulky but if people think ACL injury is high risk on trials like it is with MX I will do, I also do DH mountain biking and have no issues not wearing my braces for that Thanks in advance

Motocross Helmet or open face ? is a MX helmet frowned upon?

Newbie switching from motocross seeks advice please Always used top end motocross gear and looking to apply the same to trials any recommendations welcome regarding Helmet / Boots / Kit

I am in the market for a new pair of boots and i have been looking at either Sidi Alpinestars Gearne whats the pros and cons of each boot and i have noticed there are two types of Gearne whats the difference jsp

Hi everyone can you advise what are decent trail boots as my steel toe capped wellies have more holes that a Swiss cheese! Just starting back after 20 years off and the amount of boots out there is frightening! I will be using these for local club trails and a lot of practice; do you only get what you pay for? Is it better taking my hard earned to a show? Thanks

Currently got an Airoh, and looking to change it...any opinions on what is the best trials helmet to buy? Cheers. Alex.

I’m needing some new trials pants. I tried on some mots, although the waist was fine, they assume my legs are like chop sticks. It felt like they were sprayed on my legs, like skinny jeans. can anyone recommend some makes of trials or enduro pants that are a bit baggier, more of a comfort fit for us who don’t have such an athletic figure?

We've just had a Barbour catalogue delivered at home this morning. They have a number of new jacket styles names "Colley", "Colomer" and "Burgat".

Looking for some new gloves just wondering which are the softest as after a days riding on my thumb nuckle tends to rub on the hebo gloves iv got but its made out of the rough material. Just wondering if anyone knows what the jitsie, mots or even normal gas gas gloves are like, obviously wont be as hard wearing if soft/thinner but id rather be comfortable. Cheers

Hi all, I have recently bought some white alpinestars no stop trials boots. I ride a lot in streams and muddy conditions, at the moment I just wash off the boots with warm water and some cream cleaner at home. Not sure if this is good for longevity. I just wanted to ask how people look after their boots, do you guys use oil or saddle soap? Or just soapy water? Ta, Heather

Could anybody point me in the direction of a firm or individual that would refurb the interior of a crash helmet. Thanks

Was thinking of treating myself to a new helmet, as my NZI carbon one is about 10 years old now, and the lining is beginning to fall out! I like the look of the NAU ones - anyone got any feedback on what these are like? Cheers!

Hi Im a complete noob and sorry if this is a daft question but is there much difference between motocross boots and trials boots? Regards Matt.

My birthday is coming up and my wife has decided to give me a new helmet Nothing to expensive though, i have been looking at some Jitsie helmets or wulfsport, any riders here using them or can recomend them, other helmets below 100 Euro is also interresting? I cannot test them in a store so i have to take my chances with the sizing, should i be ok if i order by measuring my headsize? Thanks /Mic

Got these Wulfsport Trials Boots today. they feel great, very supportive and comfortable not a bad price too £112
