Fox Racing

I had no clue about which bike pants to buy so I chatted with the BTD rep. He listened to my list of what I wanted and recommended these. They are excellent. So good that after my first ride I bought a second pair. They are everything that I wanted and nothing that I didn't want. I wear bulky knee pads every time I ride, so I need pants that will comfortably accommodate that. These do. I wanted two zippered side pockets. Check. Narrow cuffs with no cinching devices. Check. An adjustable cinch on the waist, no bunched elastic. Check. Stretchy fabric. Check. Warm in cool weather, but won't over heat me. Check.

'Looks good in the pub after a ride.' WTF? Who wears dusty/muddy, sweaty bike clothes to a pub? Fortunately, these pants were designed for functional, not for fashion.

I can't say enough good things about these gloves. They are the perfect weight and fit for colder temps down to 40's. I have used a lot of gloves from road brands that are much more expensive, and these are my favorite.

Although I haven't tested these with as fall, I have worn them for several months, I own three pairs. The "chamois" is thick and does a great job of keeping the bottom from feeling sore after a couple of hours in the saddle. Might feel too thick if you're shuttling all day and don't put in a lot of saddle time. Quality is solid, no issues with seams, the thighs stays down with the non slip material very well. I will be purchasing another pair or two.

I bought these because the chamois pad in my Zoic liners just weren't cutting it as I increased my miles on the mtb. I figured even if these were made for racing, Fox would still do a better job at a mtb chamois. So far I've been impressed. The padding isn't bulky or even noticeable and I haven't experienced hot spots during longer spells in the saddle. Haven't crashed with them (yet) so I can't speak to how protective they are, but they seem like they'll be ready. Good luck fitting them in a drawer though, they don't fold due to the padding.
