jonnyc21 Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 If your in the US I would suggest http://www.upandovertrials.com/. I do recall they can be picked up in Europe but not sure on who or how to get them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmara Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 love the upandovers ! bit pricey for me though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgas Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I'm 61 and fat but still use the lycra type( Jitsie) as they are comfortable and include a bit of protection. In fact they look almost the same as the upandover. Believe me you won't be worrying about how you look as all your concentration will be on the riding.

jonnyc21 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I personally agree that when I am riding I don't think about it. However when I am off the bike at the pits or walking a section it can pop into my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakennstirred Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Wish there was a UK store selling the upandovers They are just what I'm after, sadly after P+P & import tax, they cost too much to ship from the USA.

baldilocks Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Jitsie knee protecters under tracksuit pants if you don't want to wear modern gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered a black pair last night.I talked to him on the phone and he rides vintage in California.He said they were checking out what people were wearing at the trials there and no one had spandex stuff.Everyone used mx gear.He basically came up with a crossbreed that looks better on us slightly older guys without the crazy graphics. Pricey suckers and hope they last me a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would already have a set if I had known about them when I was first looking for trials pants. At least I know what I am getting when my current set ware out.

I recieved them today and they are very different than what I am used to.The integrated knee pad thing feels weird.I have them on now and wearing around the house to see if I get used to them.They are very stretchy. They fit more like trials pants but not quite as skin tight.I think I will like them.I was worried about them not being long enough with 36"x36" measurements but they go into my boots a good 4" and knee pads location is perfect.They feel like they will help keep me cool also.Last summer I started wearing bicycle shirts at the trials to help stay cool(they work fantastic)and I am hoping these have the same effect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
