Trying out my new MX Gear

MissBandit · 07-09-2005, 02:20 PM

Tomorrow I head out to test my new gear we picked up last week. It's been torture having to wait. It took us a few months to get all the bits and pieces that we needed. Could not afford to buy the bikes, clothes and all the gear all in one fell swoop. Who on earth could?
Here is a pic of my new chest guard

. Knee and elbow pads as well. I'm pretty pleased.

The only thing is I had to get men's gear. You would not believe how difficult it is to find women's wear. If you find a store who caries any, it's only one piece and one size fits all. Ridiculous.

Seems to me that men's and women's gear should be nearly the same, maybe with a couple of exceptions!

Glad to see your gear. I hope it works. Looks like it would be nice and warm in the summer.

It's ridiculous really. Woman's have a slightly different shape to the front but not a really huge difference. The price for women's gear is twice the price for men's. Figure that one out. There are a lot of air vents so I've been told that I should not even really feel it, temperature wise.
