I always liked Troy Lee everything, so....... this stuff is horrible. The stuff looks like a trip back to the 70's. the shadow stuff is good and the Fasthouse stuff looks good, but the rest is horrible. Did they get new designers? Looks like they are purposely trying to suck. Sad day in motoland.....

Any word on pricing for the new polycarbonate se4? I saw an add for it in a magazine. That stuff smith wore in vegas is pretty cool.

With the exception of a few of them I think they actually look pretty awesome.

The polka dots look like rodeo clown stuff, just missing the big barrel to roll around in.

Props on the Americana set, because 'Merica, the Checkers set for a cleaner Fasthouse style and the Cosmic Camo which reminds me of the early '00s Supermoto Team stuff. Credit where credit is due.

Where did Fasthouse come from? Has been around what? 2-3 years?
Fasthouse is inspired by the era that Troy Lee was a pivotal part of shaping.

Anyways, my fav is the Chequers line...
To give credit where credit is due. This yellow jersey came before Fasthouse, the the red one was made while they were all working together. Both brands share the same vibe so I don't think it's fair to claim one is a rip off of the other.

Thought about prefacing with that but figured it would be overkill. These are still clean as hell

I'm so fat I have to wear the solid black pants they've put the previous few years. Now I can get a Jersey to go with them and not look like a tool trying to mix and match gear. Hooray me.

Those are hearts, not polka-dots. I took a long, hard look just to make sure.

You guys are funny. Half of the line is very subdued and the other half, well, it isn't for 40-somethings with acid reflux and pre-diabetes. They intentionally make a wide range of styles... Wild to mild is their theory. And I promise some of you will change your mind when you see the team guys wearing it on the track. Happens every year.

As far as the Fasthouse "copy" nonsense, Troy is the one who designed all their original products. Along with the Day in the Dirt logos and their tees and hats, etc. That was back before they decided to start making moto gear and took those designs with them. So you have it backwards.

The Acrolyte helmet, which includes all the safety features of the SE4 carbon, retails for $250. It's an incredible price point considering the safety tests were nearly identical to the carbon model. The only downside is slightly more weight than the carbon model, but the carbon model is incredibly light.
