July 20, 201016 yr I am getting back into trials after 25 years. All of the trials specific pants that I have seen seem to be skin tight and not designed for wearing knee braces underneath (i.e. for young riders with good knees). Vented MX/Offroad pants are too heavy and bulky. Does anybody make well-ventilated trials pants with room for knee braces? Thanks.
July 20, 201016 yr I have a couple different types of braces, and CAN get them to squeeze in under the trials pants, but I do not have fat legs so this may vary. Even at that, many times I just ride regular club events in jeans with full cut legs as compared to a slim cut. Seems many just wear an enduro type pant with room to move, not a problem that I have seen. I think Mike at Tryals Shop sells some fairly inexpensively from FLY Racing. I should add that my braces do not use an integrated patella cup. I use some(external) youth knee/shinguards that work well. Saved me a few odd kneecaps!
July 20, 201016 yr Wulfsport do some. I have a pair and they are very popular around these parts especially amongst the older members of our clubs. Dont know if theres a US distributor but might be worth a try. If you pm me i can give you a website address. Not sure about Andys policy on advertising other sites so i wont post it here.
July 20, 201016 yr Try the Jitsie stuff, not as bulky as MX gear but not overly tight like other trials stuff. Plus Albert Cabestany, James Dabill and Alexz Wigg wouldnt wear it if the quality was poor. Hope this helps.
July 21, 201016 yr Hi I wear Jitsie kit with six six one knee pads under as I have torn ligaments in both knees, thats what moto X and rugby does to you....lol they work really well and give the support required but still allowing full movement....
