Reign VMX gear
« on: May 14, 2012, 03:23:19 pm »
Any body out there bought any of this stuff.?
Interested to know if the pants are comfy and wear well.
Oh-and how the sizing stands up-more US or UK sizes.

Yungy, all the current stuff looks like pyjamas or some death meatl shit.
We just want clean one or two colour jersey and pants with Yamaha down the leg like BITD.
Reign advertised in the VMX mag last issue and is available through VMXUnlimited in Sydney-check it on the web.
Looks like no-one is using it yet.

Judging by the luke-warm response to JT's re-release I doubt anyone could actually think they're going to make money out of retro riding gear. :(

After I bought my jt gear the local shop got some in as stock and you guessed it......"I'm not shelling out three hun'erd bucks for some riding gear when I can pay half that for some Shift (they should drop the 'f' from their name) stuff".........
It's now sitting on the clearance rack.
Sigh.

I dont know of reign gear  ???

IMHO JT missed the point with their retro gear  ::) to me it resembles modern gear more than their gear from the 70s  ???

My thoughts exactly TM. Still too much 'hot-potch' and not straight to the point as the old gear.

I agree. Just got a pair of the new JT pants and the quality is excellent. Designed for knee braces and have plenty of adjustment for the ever changing waistline! Can't wait to test me out in anger on the track  ;D

I don't think JT were ever very plain and besides, they aren't going to make money just selling to the 1%'s of motocross.
If people really want old school, King Gee are still makin' overalls......  :P

oK so I'll send them a link to this rant and see what they've got to say I 'spose.
They can't be too happy with their 'reach' so far.

I wasn't having a rant. Just stating that if one of the best known riding gear companies from the '70s can't get people's attention then I doubt anyone is.

As for Reign. Never heard of 'em.......... :-[

The stuff Montynut has, looks like pretty good mid-80s style to my eyes.
I prefer the Answer retro stuff to look at. NFI about the quality of either.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
