I'll go on record to say I think the '26 Thor stuff is pretty nice. I have not enjoyed the designs of the last few years, but this is killer:

Because kids wear what they want, they pick out what they want and parents will say yes. 

It shows AP isnt a dero dad and will let his kid wear what he wants which is bloody awesome

Yeah apologies for that - the Pulse chassis from a few years ago was not our best work. Half the riders love it (still seeing on tracks to this day) and the other half of us (myself included) just couldn't wear that pant. We tried too hard to make it anatomical and didn't succeed, so the new Launchmode, Pulse's replacement, was completely fresh from the ground up.

The Pulse LE gear from a few years ago was pretty good, this color anyways, I wasn't too interested in the other colors, I saw a ad with AP wearing the red, white and blue gear and ordered a set, but like you said the pants were sized weird, I had to return what I ordered and ordered new pants 2 sizes larger. But I was happy with them after that. I know I'm fat but not that fat.  lol

I finally got around to trying on the Launchmode pants that I got. And WOW, they seem 2 sizes bigger than the Pulse stuff I have.  I wanted to see how the same size would fit, I gained some weight too so it worked out perfectly. The new stuff fits true to size. I now wear the same size pant in Thor, Carhart and Moose. 

  Anybody that disliked the old Pulse stuff should give the new stuff a shot. So far customers  overall like the Launchmode stuff better since it fits more true to size. And I don't have to convince a customer that wears a 34 to try on a 36 or 38 ( depending on how they like their pants to fit). Even after telling them that Thor messed up the sizing, its like half the time they don't hear me saying it. 

 

I love the 26 stuff, and I am excited for the spring.

Yaa I would think the brand that is paying him a ton of money would like his kids wearing their gear too, maybe out of common courtesy 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

If you read earlier the kid does have Thor gear, the kid isnt under contract so the kid can pick what he wants.

 

Im sure he also wears the thor gear aswell.

People get so uptight about shit that doesn't matter

I didn’t read that part earlier, my bad. I wasn’t uptight about it, I just thought that that would be the norm from one of their high dollar athletes. He’s the first kid that I saw wearing something his pops didn’t, and thought it was odd. I don’t think I was the first one either. All other pros who’s kids ride or race wear the same thing they do, I haven’t really seen otherwise.

I like that gear but Medium Boy wearing it makes me instantly never want to wear it.

I see a lot of fast kids at the track and races wearing Thor. A lot of old guys on here hate on it, but a lot of people love it.

the old guys hate on thor because they are design to fit athletes and boys built like girls. Us thick ones dont fit in thor gear.

 

Edit: I have now read the whole thread and i see thor may have changed their sizing. maybe ill have to try another set

I am 6'9" and 330 as I type this and  the Launchmode  stuff in the same sizes I wear for my regular day to day shirts and pants fits me great now.  I've got some moose gear in the same sizes and the Moose stuff is a little more roomy. But the Thor stuff fits how it is supposed to fit. A little more form fitting than the Moose. But its comfortable and not snug. Like I said in another post , the Pant is totally different  in a very good way! 

 

Worth trying on a set  if You see anything You like. The 2026 stuff is all pretty clean and You may be able to find some closeout 2025 stuff. They changed the fit in 2025 so any of the Launchmode stuff fits the same , 25 or 26.
