betarick Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Anyone else think trials gear quality is poor! Bought new 2 pairs of hebo gloves in janauary they fell in bits within a couple of months bought the new trial gear pants had to be restiched shirt as faded and looking tired gloves they also have fallen apart new jitsie jacket I got in march zip as given up! I find that it is over priced and poor the only positive I have is that my gaerne boots have lasted about 6 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I had XC-Ting pants and they where top quality. It's a shame the brand doesn't exist anymore. I just bought an S3 outfit...I hope it's as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldilocks Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Bought the more expensive hebo gloves got 3 years out of them. Just bought the more expensive MOTS gloves a couple of months ago which are similar and seem ok.

tltel Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 My own experience, RAW sports top that I bought about 5 years ago is still in great condition and colour has not faded at all. Would definitely buy another , but don't need to. About a year ago bought a pair of wulf pants and they seem to be very good quality and not over priced, I caught my thy on a sharp root about 6 weeks ago. no damage to pants, leg is still healing.

birdy Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I rate wulfsport gear, top and trousers over a year old worn every other weekend, snagged on barb wire, brambles, rocks etc not a mark, have neoprene gloves that seem to be lasting too, forma boulder boots o.k, as well just clean and use nikwax every other month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betarick Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I have never liked the look/design of wulfsport gear! But when it comes to trials clothing it doesn't look like the more you spend the better quality you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon v8 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 My 1986 Apico jacket is still in good shape apart from needing a new zip a few years back..... Still not waterproof but looks just like Steve Saunder's when he was on his red/white/blue Rtl Honda My recent black Hebo jacket IS waterproof and very light etc,hope it lasts as long.
