I had a chance to test a head to toe Fox racing gear setup over the past few weeks, hear is what i thought.

Jersey:

Msrp $49.95

The jersey had a great fit and I had no problems with it untucking. I think due to the fact that it was a tad bit longer then most jerseys I’ve had in the past. The overall cut and fit was very comfortable and the ventilation was great! i liked the v style neck line as well. It wasnt a jersey shore v neck but it definitely adds some style points. Also it adds to comfort.

Pants:

Msrp: $169.95

The pants were a great fit almost like you're pulling on a pair of jeans. They were loose enough to fit knee braces but didn’t feel like parachute pants. I have to commend fox for always being on top of their size and fit! The 360 gear is on the lighter side so I’m not sure how it will wear at this point. But it made it through three hard days of testing and still looked brand new after a few washes.

Helmet:

Msrp: $349.95

I haven’t worn a fox helmet since the early 2000’s but I will say I was impressed! the fit was great and it was extremely comfortable. I wore Fox goggles with it along with Oakley’s and Scott”s. All of the different frames fit well but the fox fit the best and were the best fit. ( no shock there). The Visor was nice and high and out of my field of vision which is a big selling point for me. My only complaint would be that the chin strap pads aren’t removable. These tend to get pretty dirty after a few days of riding. But I just washed it with the hose when I was washing everything else and they cleaned up nice.

Boots:

msrp:$ 289.95

Once again it had been quite a while since I wore fox boots and I was surprised. They had come quite a long ways! After a few hours of walking around in them at the house they felt broken in enough to ride. Where as the old boot would take a few days of solid riding to get comfortable. The inner boot was very comfortable with thin or thick socks. In the past I had issues with feeling the shifter and rear brake but after a few laps I was able to get used to it and the feel was much improved. There is really only so much you can do with a leather boot and Fox has don’t a great job. I liked the sole a lot, it had lots of grip surface. No matter where my feet were on the pegs I felt confident that they wouldn’t slip off. The buckles were good but I really had to slam them to get them in to place. Overall I was very impressed by the new boot and am looking forward to riding in them for some time.

Overall the styling fit and comfort level of the fox gear were unparalleled! If I were to invest in a set I would definitely consider the Fox 360 flight edition. I didn’t have a chance to wear the glove set but one of the other testers did and really enjoyed them. As a set from head to toe I must say the fox gear line cant be topped right now!

What more can you say about fox? They have been the staple for motocross gear and apparel in the moto industry for as long as I can remember. The quality of product they produce is surpassed by none and is one of the reasons they’ve been around for so long. I haven’t had a set of fox gear in a very long time and was excited to try out a set. As always right off the bat you notice fit and with fox the pants actually fit true to size. The knee brace area is great not rapper Baggy and not scene kid tight. Lets be honest when you're going slow you have to look good and this gear made me look like a champ. For winter I would go with a jersey with a little less airflow but for summertime this thing shine’s. Big plus for me was the inner knee looked like I had never ridden in it, which is unusual cause other gear companies I can rip through a set in a weekend easy.  After a weekend of racing I had no complaints other then a stinky set of gear that fit awesome and looked great. If I were to spend my money on a set of gear it would be  this gear big thanks to Fox racing for giving me the chance to try out some great gear. head over to foxhead.com for more info

Jett boots test

Being a product of the alpinestars tech 8 generation I have been extremely skeptical of any boot I put on my foot, besides that of an alpinestar. I can say this is the first boot that I’ve pulled out of the box that i was actually excited to try on. A lot of people have tried to imitate the A star brand and failed miserably. Jett not only went a different direction but nailed it! I tried the boots on and wore them around for a solid two hours. This isn’t something you would normally be able to do with any boot.

First ride

Even with other types of boots there is a break in period that is tough where the feel of the shifter foot position and break pedal feel is practically nonexistent. You can throw this out the window with Jett boots. They are designed to have no break in period. they will have the same feel from the first time you try them on for as long as you own them. One of the first things I noticed while I was out riding was how light these boots were.  They are designed to be comfortable right off the bat and they are designed to last as well. “With a leather boot breaking in means breaking down of the integrity of the leather. This will never happen with a plastic boot” -(Rick Smith owner of Jett boots.)  The only thing that needed breaking in was the sole area. Due to the nature of the plastic boot this area was slippery but after about five laps they had roughened up and were unnoticeable.

Race weekend

Receiving the boots right before mammoth motocross I could think of no better time to test out these boots. Racing at 8,000 feet of elevation is already tough so why make it tougher by having an extra pound and a half on either foot. Once again the lightness of these boots were huge. Also the extra hard shell was great from the softball size rocks that were flying around. The ankle support was like no other and I truly couldn’t have been happier with the performance of these boots over the weekend after two days of racing they were solid.

The boots I was wearing were the 5^th generation of the Jett boot design with the 6^th generation available to the public now. There were only minor changes made to the next generation but they were notable. They made some changes to the exterior ankle area where  they had some issues with the hardware breaking. Also they tightened up the top area of the boot for an even lower profile. One thing I was happily surprised about was there warranty policy. They will warranty close to every product that comes through the door. Not looking at it as a burden but more as a form of R&D. “there is no better way to test your product then to have a thousand or two thousand people using it.” -(Rick Smith owner of Jett boots.)· With only four years of development these boots have made huge leaps and bounds and may just be a game changer.

Every piece of these boots are replaceable from your home with just a call or visit to the site you can have any piece needed within days. And with a little bit of maintenance these boots should last a very long time with no breakdown of structural integrity unlike its leather competition.

The boot I tried which is the pro edition only comes in white at this time and retails For $449.00 and is available in sizes 6-12 the only difference between the pro model and the lite model is in the inner bootie.The lite comes in both white and black and retails for $399.00 and is available in sizes 7-13 from what I’ve been told by a few different riders that the bootie was introduced almost as a novelty and the lite edition is just as comfortable.
