I also have the one Ind rockstar pants, I wear. I did buy a set of the one 2026 stuff.  Its great, very comfortable.  Wont last as long as anything made when gear was just thicker overall.

I still have several pairs of LBZ baggies I wear when its cold,

Yes, $300 for the pair with tax, but it did include free mounting. 🤷‍♂️

Dunno why so many downvotes. It is adding 15-20% to the price tag. 10% plus an additional 7.5%. Its 17.5% tax on top of the sales tax you already are paying.

I'll stick to my IRC's. About half that and work and last just as good but I do have to mount them lol. The Dunlop cheater tires are even more outrageous compared to others.

Pretty sure if you buy some O’Neal hardware gear you’ll be good with one set for the next 20 years

This Alias set they had before they went under for Vegas is still one of my all time favorite designs.

It gets applied to the cost not the msrp. Cost on apparel is significantly lower than msrp on everything from jeans to riding gear.

Cost is getting too high for many. Some friends are getting gear from aliexpress and temu for 40€ set. You cant get even cheap shirt or gloves for that in real shop. Even worse china stuff seems to fit and hold great for that value.

Correct but that also means the cost of the product given away to athletes is also higher so they have to roll that into the retail pricing.  We aren't talking a few sets per rider, it's a mountain of gear if the rider is healthy all year.

Think company’s could get it manufactured here state side instead of paying that. Renen, canvas and AM are able to while staying in the same price range of other top end gear.

I can’t make myself pay full boat for MX gear.  I just threw 98 bucks for……..as my wife calls it……..a costume.  Commonly known nowadays as a kit.  I haven’t got used to calling pants and jersey a kit just yet.  

Motosport had Leatt 3.5 pants and jersey for 98 bucks.  I bought teal storm color, will match my KX pretty good………guess that makes me a MX fashion maven!  

On my way back from the gym this afternoon I’m headed to Harbor Freight to get a few pair of those cheap black mechanic gloves they sell for 7 bucks ish.  Then I’ll sure enough have a complete new costume/kit for a decent price.  A few of the guys here on the site recommended Harbor Fright gloves.   I have a pair in the garage but about used up.  I’d bet those cheap Harbor Freight gloves hold up as good or better than the 20-30 bucks or more I throw at MX gloves. 

98 bucks is not a bad price and Leatt 3.5 is not high end but still pretty good stuff.

Instead of trying to save $40, and wonder why our industry suffers, why not put your money back into the sport instead of some rich Chinese business man?

Some of you will literally go buy Walmart and bullshit aliexpress gloves and jerseys.


Those people aren’t investing money to sponsor riders, events, teams, ect.


Without those companies, our sport suffers.


So go ahead and save $30/$40 bucks and buy some lame shit off Temu but I’m gonna support our industry if it costs a couple more bucks because I actually give a shit.

I have always been someone who has bought last season's closeout or sale gear. I've also used some of the MSR gear for a bit now as well. However, I have never been cheap with anything else like a helmet, goggles, and boots.  As I am looking for some early Black Friday deals, I am in disbelief on the costs of some sets now. Over $300 for one set of One Industries, Fox, or Alpinestars now!? I am fine with the gear I have now, I am curious if anyone has these expensive sets of gear, and if they can give feedback. I want to know if there is something special about them, or if they are just expensive for the brand name.

I’ll check the TLD site for gear on sale quite often. Usually for friends that’re getting into moto/just starting out. I’m often getting them “head to toe” for less than $500 often more like $300.

Helmet (SE5 composite to SE poly $387-$180)   $180

Pant -  (GP to SE…$75-$120)                              $  75

Jersey (GP)                                                          $  25

Gloves (Flow)                                                       $  18


Total                                                                     $298 (all black…head to toe…looks pretty cool, too!)


Got a friend in gear for his 1st race…SE5 composite helmet w/ red-wht-blue SE Honda gear…air glove…$583 all in…that’s $100 less than what the helmet originally sold for…JUST the helmet! 🤣

We find great goggles on sale for $30-50 and often including tear-offs or a spare lens. Boots…$200-400…all on sale and all great values. This time of year you can find all sorts of deals if you go lookin’.

Good luck!

Idk who would downvote this but this is exactly what you do when you don’t want to buy the new stuff. You can get plenty of discounted gear or just go the cheaper line that almost every single brand has.

AM gear is solid. Most durable pants I've ever worn.

If they were putting money into ride areas for sure could see your point, to give Jett another million I would prefer not to have to pay $250 for a pair of pants

This is the biggest misunderstanding on earth. I’m not “part of an industry” like an organism. I’m the buyer, they’re the seller. I’m not on the super cross support program. I’m not an investor. I need to protect my family and my finances, not uphold an industry. 

If our manufacturers cannot bring a product to market for realistic prices, I will not support them. I don’t. Don’t give me or anyone this white knight garbage about forking more money over for cheaper junk. 

Furthermore, if this “support” mindset was a 2 way street, you’d see “alpinestars raceway” in multiple states or the “Fly Facility”. You don’t. You see companies at best being title sponsors for a series. That’s called advertisement, not investment.

This all day long. I support the companies that help support my local riding areas. Without places to ride I have no need for their products.

In 1980 I bought leather MX pants, cause, it was 1980. (Nylon gear wasn’t even allowed!) They cost a couple of weeks wages for an apprentice Electrician.

How about $100 for a pair of goggles? Oh, but it says 100% or Oakley on them. That is ridiculous. I'd be happy with an old pair of Scotts for $25.

Yeah crazy. Saying that I always bought cheaper level goggles, end of last year there was a sale on Scott prospect amplifiers for $45(cost of lens alone) and purchased them. Have to admit they are far superior to what I was wearing in terms of vision and comfort. Still not going to pay the retail price for them!

I apply for the Fly amateur support every year. It helps tremendously. They also offer discounts with their sister conpanies and partners like Gaerne, Astars, Scott, fire power etc. 

fxr has 35% codes out there. 

get on mxsponsor. Spend a few bucks for the membership but the deals you can find will more than make up for that.

Keep saying that in your top of the line Thor gear, Alpinestar $60 gloves, and here comes the cherry on top. 

A cheapo off brand Chinese helmet. 🤣


You can’t make this stuff up.

You went all out on gear and bought to cheapest brain bucket you could find. You just lost all credibility.
