Oh ok. I probably should’ve googled it. That’s a pretty cool name actually. My old man’s side of the family is German, I dig that!
Same. Bought the pants and jersey. Stopped wearing the pants because zero stretch in the crotch is really limiting offroad. Went back to my old Fox 360 pants and can move again.
But then its spelled wrong
Your whole post seems like a complaint

Rennen in German means racing. Pete Fox said that he dropped one “N” because he liked the aesthetic more.
To the point of this thread, the gear is very good. Like a couple of others have posted, the pants aren’t as flexible as Fox Flexair/360, but it comes at the benefit of durability. I have two sets of Renen gear with probably 15 hrs in each, and they still look brand new. I usually get 2 rides out of Fox pants before there are holes at the knees.
It does.
My German nickname is Rennwurst.
Lets make CROTCHAL the new buzz word for 2023...
I don’t speak German but… Sausage Racer? 😂
Close 'RaceSausage'
We had to have a nickname on the German championship registration.
Nothing english that we could get away with worked..
The post from the 'cock vent' dude on the previous page does not back up the 'lack of flexibility benefitting their durability' angle... almost the complete opposite?
Maybe that dude is packing a third leg. The Renen pants only have room for two. Not sure what else to tell you 😂.
Here are what my Renen pants look like vs Fox/Shift:
Some brands just don’t have new school high end materials. Renen and Fast House are old school, durable but not technically advanced.
Same here as well. I like my two sets but always pull out the TLD gear for more comfort/stretch.
Is this a thing now? Are the riders now cutting milliseconds on their laptimes due to "advanced materials" used in MX gear?
Nice gear, long lasting, durable, cleans up well. Compares to Klim for durability, certainly outlasts Fox, Fasthouse, Seven. I don't understand the "stretchability" issue.
The high end light weight gear with the correct materials that allow a more free feel are much more comfortable. Less durable for sure. But once you wear the good stuff it’s hard to go back. Better for moto anyway.
If they have so little "stretchability" that they rip or impair your movement, then it is an issue.
If it was a one off, then fair enough, no worries. I'd far prefer old school gear to the gym-girl, lycra-looking, pecker-hugging, top of the line TLD team stuff, but there has to be a happy medium and for top dollar that should be thought about, just IMO.
But either way, hope folks who have it are happy with it, and good to support stuff made locally or at least nationally.
Pit Row
I have never even gave much thought to gear other than if it looked good. You guys are funny, I've been riding for a long time and never considered if the stretchability or material was hindering my riding 😆. The best, most durable gear I've ever had was SMP that I was given by a local company I rode for. I put that gear through the ringer and it was bulletproof. I'm not a fan of the skintight fluorescent gear that is the norm today. The best looking gear ever was Fro's 1997 Shift gear imo.
I have a few Fasthouse stuff and got my first Renen set. Love it all. Great design, fits me well despite my overweight carcass.
Baggy gear was a goofy fad.
Guess opinions are like aholes....but I think that gear is by far the best looking stuff out there.
