FXR dropped some of their new stuff, the "Podium" and "Podium Gladiator" line. I'm down to wear some goofy colored shit, doesn't bother me much. I'd wear the Acid Sherbert and Vice colorways, but I don't think I could let my slow ass self wear something with a giant "FTA" (FULL THROTTLE ADDICTION) and "FACTORY RIDE" text plastered all over it like the Podium Gladiator line has, thats pretty cringe for me. I thought they'd actually gotten away from the "FACTORY RIDE" crap in last years lineup and it looked good.

Wow....$350 for pants + jersey?!


I usually opt for the higher end of the spectrum for any particular MX gear lineup but holy smokes.

Just got two sets of gear, a leftover sale set of Shift Blue Label gear, and I got the Alpinestars Fluid pants with a Supertech jersey. Both jerseys are great, coming from cycling I am personally a huge fan of the more athletic fit jerseys. No more 5 pound sleeves flapping around during a mud race!

The Shift pants are pretty disappointing, I am very glad I did not pay msrp. The rubber logos started peeling off immediately upon opening the package. Not a huge deal but indicative of quality control. This was my first time wearing modern, stretch material moto pants, and I was pretty surprised at how much heat I can feel coming off my pipe. Never noticeably felt that before even on a four stroke. My biggest complaint is the fit. I wear a 30 in jeans and have always gone up to a 32 in moto pants for reference. The waist is a little tighter than expected, but the rise in the crotch is so low its ridiculous. I am smashing my junk just to pull them up over my butt. And while that area is small, the knees are HUGE. I don't wear braces, just knee pads, and these look ridiculous with how much extra fabric is there.

The Alpinestars pants, which are the entry level $99 pants, are probably the best fitting pants I've ever worn. The pants sit naturally up on my waist, they have a comfortable amount of movement, and are not bulky at all. They have a nice slim fit that just feels great on the bike. Super happy with these

Picked up my set of 22.5 Revo LE gear yesterday. Jersey feels even more fitted than before.
Was hoping the gold was a little more shiny but it still looks good.

I switched to fly a couple years ago and have loved the fitment and look of the gear, until this year. I don't know if they switched designers, or what but it does not look good this year.
That said, I gotta give some praise to FXR. There designers are doing great work! Them and canvas have to be the best looking gear right now. I think my next set of gear will be either canvas or fxr if this pattern continues.

Where did you find the blue label stuff? I never see it on sale in mediums or 32-34
