I know that I might get burned for this... What ever happened to JT...


I am pretty young so I am not into the story... But looking at some of the Bailey videos around the place it looked like they were the "cream of the crop".


Does anyone have a short story or wiki link.?


Edit: Guess they moved to paint ball.

Its not like they folded up and closed their doors. They left moto and changed the paintball market. I guess you could make a fashion statement and still wear JT Gear...

Check out the 2008 JT Gear here

JT was the only gear to wear back in the day. Block pass 1981 style.

I have a very long story to tell regarding John and Rita's JT, the company that they sold it all to, and what happened when others tried to revive the line.

I'll see if I can post it later.

Good stuff man, remember the JT cloth wet weather gloves? I loved those things! No so much in the protection department, but they sure were comfy, felt like socks for your hands.

And they actually worked quite well in the rain/mud.

Come on TB, you can't drop a little snippit like that and just leave.

Find that sucker and post it up.

That stuff still looks cool today. They had the best stuff and it was so hard to get hold of in England when I finally got my V-2000 chest protector I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Where's that story TBteam ?? Smile
