I'm looking at a new set of gear since my old set of oneal stuff has ripped through both knees from my knee guards.
Not a fan of the messiness that seems to be rife in designs lately, and fasthouse seem to make clean looking gear.
I like the L1 gear, like this
But I can't find anything about them through google. What on earth is Fasthouse? Is it made by another reputable gear company and rebranded?
Can anyone vouch for the wear and tear of the pants? They're priced at the same level as the reputable stuff so you'd want to hope so.
Thanks in advance!

I think these Answer Alpha has some of the best pants for knee wear at the moment, but you may not like the designs...
The Shop
Lots of info on their site:

I have both an L1 ($55) and their other type of more expensive jersey ($65) and the only difference is the more expensive one has the lettering more bonded into the jersey vs what just seemed pressed on by a hot iron. I don't know how to explain that, I'm not in the jersey-making business, but if you don't care THAT much about how it feels in your hand, go with the cheaper jersey and "speed style" pant as they have a ton more stretch to them. If you wear knee braces, you'll want that stretch.

They fit true to size, but I always size up in both pant and jersey bc I workout and have big shoulders/quads.
As much as I know about them, they have some collabs with "Brand X" which is a motorcycle stunt company. I know the guys from the Viewing rock it (met both Darryn and Tyler at Pala before, super cool dudes). I don't work at FH, just giving you info, which could help you make a better decision. I hate trying to buy gear and not have it fit, then going through the process of returning it, etc.
But i have to say that i can't agree with your comment that the modern designs are "messy". I feel like we are heading to cleaner designs every year, almost every gear brand has one or two lines of gear that are "clean" with only a few colors and straight lines.
Pit Row
They were a cool group. They helped me stash my bike this past year at DITD when I got a room in a shady hotel.
They clean house at Day in the Dirt though. It's about $40 for a t shirt and they sell them all weekend.
Maybe ML or GuyB will do a piece on them.
Cool bunch with quality stuff.
They have a cool vibe and definitely a unique approach compared to other moto brands out there.
Seems to be the set up for all the J-Law wannabes around here
I like mine!
