October 29, 201510 yr I see this is a new company making trials gear. Looks a little more relaxed than what is on the market now. Looks nice - has anyone tried it out? Located at [ upandovertrials .com]
October 30, 201510 yr I just learned about them about a month ago and am almost due for a new set of gloves. I am going to order a set from them to see how well I like them, will report back once I get them.
October 31, 201510 yr A Bunch of guys at the ITSA event I went to at TTC were trying the up & over gear out for their first time , They all liked the fit and quality . I'll be ordering some asap ... Glenn . Edited November 1, 201510 yr by axulsuv
October 31, 201510 yr Just sent them an email concerning amount of room available for a knee brace. but anybody here able to answer if a large (ish) metal knee brace would fit comfortably?
October 31, 201510 yr You're probably going to need to go with motocross pants of you want to fit a big brace and still be able to bend. Took me a while to find something, eventually ended up with Klim.
November 1, 201510 yr Thanks for that. currently I have some over the boot motocross pants that the legs zip off to make them shorts. I just ride in shorts..........
November 2, 201510 yr I bought some. Fit great with lots of stretch. Don't think the knee brace will fit.
November 2, 201510 yr Just sent them an email concerning amount of room available for a knee brace. but anybody here able to answer if a large (ish) metal knee brace would fit comfortably? The pants on their site look a bit tight to fit braces. MX pants are your best bet. I wear Asterisk braces on dirt bikes and just knee/shin guards for trials. Both fit under regular Acerbis, Oneal and Fox mx pants fine and never felt movement was restricted. I mostly just wear my snowboarding shorts when riding trials now; they look like regular board shorts and have a bunch of padding in them.
November 11, 201510 yr Just got a set of there gloves in the mail today. Nice, already like the way they feel. My only complaint is that the portion of scratchy Velcro is a little to large in comparison to the soft Velcro and there choice of placement to have the scratchy side pointing out toward the sleeves isn't optimal. The rest of the glove features are great, I love the feel of the leather, their size chart was dead on for my hand to glove size, the fabric feels nice, the stitching is done well, the over all comfort is great. I give it an 8 out of 10. (would have a 9 out of ten if it wasn't for there Velcro) My preference is a close fit on the fingers and palm, where this glove is good but a bit loose, this is nit picking as most people I know don't want the closer fit so for them to get a full 10 from me they would have needed to have a slightly thinner fit. (I think most people would like the current fit over my preference) Edited November 11, 201510 yr by jonnyc21
November 14, 201510 yr Author Opened the gear on my birthday and checked it out. Gloves have the nicest palm leather I have seen.Fingers are slightly short but stretching to fit. I have very long fingers. Jersey fits well and the material feels very nice. Pants fit well and the kneepads are nice. Have never worn actual trials gear but the stuff feels very nice and looks to be very well made and much less bulky than regular off road gear. I don't think this will help my atrocious riding skill but I will for sure will look studly walking around the pits.
November 14, 201510 yr With how nice the gloves are it isn't surprising the rest of the gear is made as nice as it is. Thanks for the feed back!
November 17, 201510 yr Author Went one size larger on the gloves [xl to xxl] and they fit much better in the fingers. Mark at Up and Over has been great to deal with. I normally wear a 3x in Klim for comparison.
