What gear do you guys wear and why?
I wear Troy Lee Designs for the following:
1) I feel like the design style & philosophy makes TLD a differentiator.
2) I started wearing black GP pants with a different color jersey before TLD marketed it. I would like to think that I came up with the idea. I went this route because there wasn't a lot of gear out there for the larger guys.
3) I dig the vibe. Call me nostalgic.
After years and years of being anti-Fox I've considered getting some this year. I love the 180 CZar and the 360 Kila lines.
FXR is higher up on my list now too, seems like a good value and its definitely something different.

Sorry... I wore AXO back in the day. It was the best gear at the time IMO but they seem to have fallen off now.
I hope you’re just kidding around.

Because - Pussy all over... No other reason.
I'm in it for the cats.
I was actually sitting at work thinking about what gear I was going to buy. Thor had some different styles in size 40 pants that looked good. TLD GP was in the all black...which I hated but I knew the quality and fit would be good.
Light bulb went off...I printed a picture of the TLD SE Starburst...took my black sharpie and colored the pants all black. Boom. Ordered it that morning. I'm sure I'm not the first guy to go that route because they hated the all black, however that was in 2016 before TLD started offering multiple jerseys to match "mono" colored pants.
AXO I've worn forever, since my dad has ridden for them since I was born. They helped me with a ride also. It was good until recently. I don't know what happened, but it just isn't the same gear..
Alias, my wife bought for me last year and that stuff is awesome! Fits great and has held up awesome.
I'm getting ready to order a set of O'Neal to give that a shot since I have a hook up there. I can't wait to try it out.
Currently I'm really liking the Seven Zero gear.
In the past I've also liked Answer Alpha series as well.
I'm not fond of the Fox 180 line. I cant speak on the 360 as I haven't tried it.
Fox IMO is the most iconic brand when it comes to MX. They design some of the best looking and technologically advanced gear.
I wish they supported the grassroots more, and I wish they didn't buy in on that supreme sell out...I haven't followed it much but I didn't want the core of the sport to be represented by people who ride wheelies down the middle of paved roads.
I used to really hate on Fox because it was so commercialized but they are a moto company and they have to pay the bills. I would rather have them stay in business because people buy a lot of tee shirts as opposed to them drying up because they only want to appeal to core riders
