May 25, 200521 yr Which clothing companies make trials riding gear? I know about Hebo and Clice but they are pretty limited in thier designs, everything seems to be red or blue! Are there any other brands that you can recomend? Cheers folks!
May 25, 200521 yr My Son's gone "On&Off" as the patterns are different and he was fed up of his Tech 07 Hebo. Looks very different on Him!
May 25, 200521 yr I just use motocross gear. I don't want to inflict the sight of me in lycra on anyone!!! Also, the MX gear is much tougher and as there is a much wider range, it is possible to get some good deals. I don't find that it is any more restrictive either.

May 25, 200521 yr I use the older stuff as worn in the twin-shock era. Got a pair of Ellgren trousers-red and blue and a modern Elgren shirt.(not colour matched, but if the observer can't stand to look, maybe he will miss the dab?. . .) Ebay is good for the older stuff. Is very comfortable, trousers are thorn and splash proof. A lot cheaper than the lycra gear and i'm sure will be more comfortable. (never have, and never will try lycra - i've seen the effect it has on other skinny folk ) Pete.
May 25, 200521 yr Who stocks on&off? Where can I see it? Haven Trialsport stock it, and the range can be seen on their website. www.trialsbike.co.uk
May 26, 200521 yr Im using motocross pants right now, but they are way too hot now during the summer. My shin guards are always soaking wet and its impossible to get the pants off after a good 3 hour riding session Trying to find some nice trials riding gear, i dont like the super tight ones that look like full-body stockings, but ive only seen ones that are red and have "MONTESA" printed all over them, cant ride a beta with them Does anyone know of a website that sells trial clothing that would possibly suit my -03 beta (the yellow kind) that has proper ventilation?
May 26, 200521 yr Does anyone know of a website that sells trial clothing that would possibly suit my -03 beta (the yellow kind) that has proper ventilation?

May 26, 200521 yr Whilst we're on the clothing issue. On several videos I've seen Joe Baker wearing trousers that go over the top of his boots...and i THINK they are XCting ones???????????? I really like the idea of trousers that go over the boots...dont ask me why..just kind of prefer it. But..I'm wondering...where d'ya get 'em...and more importantly..do they still have a bit of padding in the knee/shin area?...(especially important for me 'cause I fall off alot).. Hope someone can enlighten me
May 26, 200521 yr Haven Are the importers of the "On&Off" brand so you should be able to obtain it at a local dealer. The one We got ours off is Pennine Trialsport. They turn up at (Yorkshire Centre) Local trials selling the gear and bike essentials so finding them isn't a problem.
May 26, 200521 yr Stu, They are a bit like wot Freestyle motoxers used to wear but now, they just tend to wear jeans and hoodies. FOX & SHIFT make them, XC-ting are the only company that tend to make them in a well known trials name, they are called 'Tophill'. any motox clothing shops will have them. they're sound, you can get loads of designs
