Thanks Shenzi, I have a set of Diadora pants which look ok but melt on contact with anything warm, maybe the new ones are better.
Today I got some No Fear pants because they offered the best construction and a design that didnt put me into an epileptic fit when I look at them. There were 6 of us guys wondering what to get in the clothing section at the big moto emporium today, all agreeing non of us would even wear that shit to a halloween party!
just sayin

Save for my incompetence.
I'm hoping these guys will straighten them all out! We can only wait and hope! Looks like I'm not the only one who's tired of seeing all of the "shower curtain" gear out there. It's time for things to start making sense again!
I bought some fox 360 pants, and within about 3 or 4 rides the leather on the inside of the knees had holes in them. I don't understand how that is even remotely acceptible to any company.....
Get some decent designs....a pocket...and better qualify pants (at least on the inside of the knees), and I'll be a happy gear buyer.
But if you look at some of their other lines, usually the cheaper ones, you can get more traditional looking stuff. And those lines are honestly better than ever. Generally its quality stuff and the looks have really improved (the Fox 180 and Answer Synchron etc)
What type of knee braces do you wear? Or do you wear them at all? I've been wearing nothing but Fox since 2004, and I have over 15 sets of gear at home. I've had ONE pair of pants where this happened and it was a fluke, very remote.
What's funny about this VERY common thread to me is this...people see an outfit or two that they don't really care for, and then they start a thread trashing designers and/or companies for their product. Now this shouldn't surprise me as much as the riders get trashed on this forum. The companies, designers, and anybody else the keyboard commandos decide to target should be free game too I suppose. However, most of these gear companies HAVE a separate line or a model of gear that's a more basic colorway and look. Fox for example, has 360/HC180/and MX Tech. All of these have a more conservative look and basic colorway. So for the guy who may not be a huge fan of Riot, Vamplifier, Victory, or Steel Faith...you still have options.
People are so fast to jump on here and bash away. I'm not sure if it's a fascination with the response they'll get on forums, lack of effort in finding what they really want, or just a basic need to whine about something. Either way...it's a topic that is getting really tired. Perhaps a PVC rainsuit in Blue, Yellow, or Black would fit the bill for some of these people. Nice and plain!!

It sounds like you work for fox?
And the the fox gear that fox makes their pro riders wear is absolutely disgusting....I can't believe anyone that isn't cashing a check from fox would wear that crap. It's just ugly.
And why can't they (all gear manufactures) get another and/or better (thicker leather, maybe) material to put on the inside of the knees?
I'm a guy that buys one pair of gear every year or two, and wash it every time I wear it (I usually only ride once a month, if that), and EVERY brand of gear I've owned that had leather on the inside of the knee has eventually worn out and got holes in the knees. Some faster than others, but the fox gear I have now, wore the fastest BY FAR!
The gear that Fox suits their pro riders in makes people talk (which is obvious by the threads generated over the subject every few weeks in these forums). Whether it's Damon Bradshaw with zebra stripes or spiderwebs, Robbie Reynard during the IMAGE campaign with wild colors and polka-dots, or Ryan Dungey with the variety of uni's you've seen him in recently...it's about innovation. Fox is one of the most innovative companies on the planet...it's undeniable. It pops, it gets your attention, makes people talk, and furthermore (whether you believe it or not), it SELLS!!
As far as quality is concerned. You'll get the occasional issues with any brand. This stuff takes abuse and sometimes things happen, and deterioration happens. Like I said, I've worn this stuff since 2004' and I can only remember one pair of pants that failed on me. I still have stuff from back then that I could wear right now and it's in incredible shape. If it's specifically the knee area that you have a gripe about, I suggest you purchase a set of Platinum pants. The knees are bulletproof!! I wear Asterisk knee braces and haven't blown through a set of knees yet in any of my multiple pairs.
Just my .02. Good talking to you either way man!!
