Enduro/Motocross clothing

[jimmyjam]

Hi - does anyone ride wearing clothing designed for motocross etc? Seems very similar to MTB but cheaper??

 

[Gary]

Been riding in MX pants/tops for a couple of decades. Only while riding uplifted DH though.
I find it too hot to pedal in all day. I don't wear a jacket at all on any mtb ever though. Even in the rain/snow

 

[Krisj]

Same as Gary been using mx clothing for years where I can , put mtb in front of clothing and bang up goes the price.
When I used to race mx I’d get absolutely soak in sweat and it always performed spot on as does it with the mtb
That jacket does look sweet. ??

 

[Doomanic]

How much are those jackets?

 

[Beanieuk]

I have a jacket like that when I ride my enduro motorbike. I wouldn't want to wear it on my Ebike as it's heavy and hot, they do have some vents but are designed to work when your doing over 30mph ?
Light weight mx trousers and a race shirt work well on mtb for downhill stuff

Those jackets look the bomb. We get so ripped off in cycling. Clothing costs more than Gucci would

One of these has been my "go-to" top for MTBing since selling my trail (motor)bike. Seemed silly to buy new MTB specific gear, It must be about 12 years old and its virtually indestructible.

@bikerider007 dude I got the dirt paw gloves from eBay £9.69 Chinese I would guess
but I was seriously impressed with them and the quality , and I compared them to my genuine dirt paws and they are identical.
Defo going to purchase a couple of them tops too can’t go wrong at that money.

I've just ordered - fingers crossed they are as good as they look

MX / Enduro pants + pedalling = sore nads and a rash ?

I go the other way, I ride my mtb kit on my Trials bike ( full length pants tho)

I've had several pairs of "Moto" shorts out of China. One pair was great, the other three were shit. Different sellers though. I had some tld shorts and the logo was mirrored on the legs so it said tlb on one.

I am currently undecided about Sunday.
