#FLY RACE GEAR PROFESSIONAL#

Widely regarded as one of the premium motocross gear brands on the planet, professional championships around the world are litered with riders flying the flag for the Fly Racing brand. Specialising in professional grade motocross, ATV, adventure, BMX, MTB and snowmobile gear, accessories and hard parts, Fly Racing offers an enormous range of everything you could possibly need for extreme action sports. We think Fly Racing’s F-16 gear is a good deal.Fly Racing was launched back on January 1 in 1998 in the United States, and has literally taken off to now be available in over 40 countries around the world. To be a good deal, it has to deliver more quality and features than you would expect for the price. To be cheap, something has to simply be inexpensive. We didn’t set out to review this gear we just needed something appropriate for Ethan to wear for testing a few vehicles, but we were impressed enough that we wanted to share our impression of it. The gloves provided a good feeling of contact with the machine and their padded palms with little rubber grippers on the fingers really enhanced comfort on the Outlaw 90’s hard grips. On the ATV, the F-16 pants offered plenty of room to move around, when hanging off for corners. We found the gear to be both stylish and functional. Our riding took place in temperatures between 65 and 80 Fahrenheit and cooling seemed adequate within these temperatures. Ethan was as enthusiastic about the new gear as he was toward the vehicles he was testing. The good thing about many young riders is that they either like or hate something. He could have worn a small jersey, but that’s no fault of Fly’s. Our size 28 pants, adult medium jersey, and gloves were a bit large on Ethan’s five-foot tall, 95-pound frame, leaving him with a little room to grow. Small silicone grippers on the thumb and first two fingers help promote control, and the gloves close with an adjustable Velcro-equipped TPR closure. The palms are lightly padded with reinforced thumbs. The gloves’ thermoplastic rubber logos are designed for maximum flexibility––boosting protection, without hindering movement.

They are constructed primarily of neoprene, with woven knit and lycra back panels. The lightweight F-16 gloves are designed for maximum freedom of movement. The black and purple limited edition jersey features mesh panels for extra cooling. Stretch rib material was used around the collar and their soft tag prevents discomfort. According to Fly, their sublimated graphics, “ …allow for the highest quality in fade-free graphics.” The jersey’s “shorty cuffs” feature light elastic, and are said to reduce arm pump. Multi-panel construction is used to boost comfort. The jersey is constructed of silky-feeling polyester. A single-sided, looped, Velcro-equipped bel allows you to tailor the waist’s fitment and the pants close with a single snap and ratcheting fly closure. The Flex-rib material allows some breathability and a mesh liner helps promote circulation, helping keep the rider cool. The knee area was designed with a little extra room and flexibility to accommodate the use of knee braces. Stretch rib material is used above the knees, up the inner thigh, in a section of the rear lower legs, and at the rider’s lower back, providing flexibility. Integrated raised Thermoplastic rubber badges on the lower thighs, knees, and top rear of the pants look good and add some additional protection. The F-16 pants are constructed of tough feeling 600D Nylon. Examining their construction up close, they didn’t appear to skimp on features either. Based on its looks, we had no idea that the F-16 gear was Fly’s least expensive riding gear.

We recently ordered a set of their F-16 riding gear, Maverik MX Boots, Kinetic Pro Trey Canard helmet, and Focus Goggles for our 12–year-old test rider, Ethan Wingate, for a couple of upcoming tests. One of our favorite things about Fly Racing’s riding gear is that their more entry-level lines don’t stand out as “cheaper looking” compared to higher-end, more expensive lines.
