Was watching a1 replays on YouTube  and it got me thinking how many good gear brands faded out, no fear, one industries, alias. Hopefully fasthouse has better luck and more longevity .I usually have wear fox but have been thinking about switching to fh. I MTB nowadays and the bike stuff seem to be slightly cheaper than fox. Anybody used the MTB stuff?

Fasthouse is insanely popular at my local tracks. I’d even say I see more riders wearing it than anything else.

I think they are starting to catch on. Liked some of their new designs so I got a kit for the kid. I was shocked to see virtually everything but the base colors were done in (excuse my not knowing the correct term) but iron on vinyl lettering and designs. Anything other than cold wash delicates and air dry will destroy the gear. Wtf. Im hard on our gear re:washing as I want them clean and don’t care if they last more than 9 months. Great looking stuff for a photo shoot but one time use

I have a couple of MTB jerseys and some shorts. They’ve held up well.

So far they are my favorite MTB gear brand. I’ve tried TLD, Fox, A-Stars, etc.

They are making a fortune off of California alone. I would say on any given day 1/3 of the people at the track have FH on. I have 3 sets, The pants are some of the most durable I have ever owned and I have owned many of the brands over the years. Certain gloves are good also. Was a little taken back at first on the jerseys with the heat transfer graphics but have gotten used to it. MTB pants are good as well.

Insanely popular over here in Australia, from what I see when Im out riding it's a toss up between alpinestars and fasthouse for most worn gear

The problem I see with FH is the price, you can get same or better gear brands much cheaper. Not to mention they basically cater to the cali moto crowd. 49 more states and off-road guys ride too.

My son loves his.  He has a star, seven, fox, shift, leatt and fast house hanging in the trailer. He almost always goes for the fast house. I just got him another pair of pants and two jerseys for Christmas.  With the basic designs you can have multiple looks with two sets of pants and a few jerseys. Pant A with jeresys A,B,C. Pant B with jerseys A,C,D.

I like the vinyl on thier jersey as when I add his sponsor stuff it matches. 

Everything has held great for us also

Ton of people over here on the east coast rock fasthouse.

Their stuff isn't cheap but price for price, I find it better quality than fox and thor kits I have.

Do you guys think the quality is high because Fasthouse doesn’t sponsor any top pros? The money goes to product instead of celebrities?

Who makes the gear for them, or do they do it themselves? 
 

the pants seem very high quality

I’m just a middle of the week go to the track old guy and miss the weekend and race crowds.  With that said I still see lots of fast house gear.  One of my wife’s Dr’s races, his 5 kids too.  They look like a fast house commercial.  I’ll stick with Fly Racing F16 pants and on sale O’Neal.

I don't wear either of those, I wear FLY and MSR both are high quality and wear very well off-road. Most enduro or hare scramble guys will shred gear faster than the two 10min moto guys HAHA jk.

I know quite a few off road and hard enduro enthusiasts that wear FH, the kinda guys that wouldn't buy it twice if it was junk.  I think it's just fine.

How is MSR these days now that it's the "house brand" for RMATVMC, still good stuff?

I have two sets of the NXT stuff which I believe is their top of line and its very well made. I've probably put 12hrs of enduro racing on one set and it still looks near new. Price is great also. The jersey's are what I would call athletic fit, at least in the arms.

I wouldn’t go there with it since Fasthouse doesn’t really try to go for that crowd, but the So Cal bros have definitely adopted it. They have become the new NoFear/Fox for the bros,

LOL.  It's all about the "vibe" bro.  It's all about the vibe.

I just buy Barry Carsten look-alike MSR gear on closeout.  Works good for me.

I was told their gear is made by the same company (who?) that does TLD gear.

I have found FH gear to be the highest quality.  I have ran a lot of their MTB gear from jerseys, gloves, pants, and shorts.  Even the packaging the gear comes in is high quality.  I do think the pricing could be better.  But, for the most part, it is slightly cheaper than FOX and I think FH is WAY BETTER quality than FOX these days.  Now that FOX has been bought their quality will likely continue to be crap, with higher prices.

Does anyone else think that Troy Lee (NOT TLD the company) the artist and person has a hand in Fasthouse to some degree? I swear I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I feel there could be a secret partnership there..... Let me get my tinfoil hat. BRB.

I think at one time they were associated somehow.

A lot of guys here in the INW wear the stuff. I always thought it looked great. The local dealer carries a ton of it.

Originally that’s how they got started, with help from Troy and TLD. That relationship ended when Fasthouse got on its feet

I live in Temecula and Fasthouse is everywhere! I see people wearing Fasthouse hoodies, Fasthouse stickers on trucks, Fasthouse gear at track. It’s definitely a top brand and contender now

How would a company cater to the Cali crowd?  LOL.  Reading all these comments from other States where FH is big kind of kills your narrative.

My nephew asked me if I liked Fasthouse. I said it was a trend for the guys that just stand next to their bikes and drink beer.

He quipped back "Isn't that what you do?"

Fasthouse has gained popularity here in New Zealand. Back about 7 or 8 years ago there was only a couple of us wearing it here. 
It now has a distributor here and we sell lot through the dealership I now work at.
