bilc0 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Well save that Fart. Let's think about this,after years of use you fancy changing it or you simply grow out of it and it's not to tatty you could allways sell it on second hand for say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boofont Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I can't stress this enough, forget the trials jackets, buy a MTB jacket! They are waterproof, breathable, cheaper, more features (arm vents/removable arms/better pockets etc), better protection around the bum.... The list goes on! Try Wiggle or Chain Reaction, both offer free delivery. Whilst there, buy MTB gloves too, they last much longer than trials gloves, they're warmer and cheaper!

andrewmarris Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Just to say, i know ther that wee bit more expensive but the Hebo Tech 06 jacket is great, waterproof, zip of sleeves, plent pockets, will last you long time, and still look good.

westyfield Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 While you're all on the clothing subject, what about "trousers"? I just wouldn't look good in Lycra and can't find any that are plain red fabric without any advertising or flashy stripes and logo's. Is there such a thing? Came across some JT-X ones on eBay at the mo but at just 28" waist they ain't going to fit! Have done a google of JT-X but no result. Anyone any ideas?
