FAST THOUGHTS FROM JESSICA LEE

Gear That Will Outlast Even The Toughest Of Riders

Life is oh so tough being a motocross diva in a world of sweaty ugly guys but Fly Racing makes it so much easier. With their 2008 Womens gear line up you can show off your stylish but tough racer chick attitude. Flys gear is bright, comfortable, and fits perfectly. It also has a few things that make it different from any other. Seeing Flys gear was love at first site.

Fly Racing is a fairly young gear company but they are steadily making waves and putting hits on big names like Fox Racing or Troy Lee Designs. Infact, one of Flys designers came from TLD. Ive never really taken a look at Fly gear but after visiting their headquarters in Boise, Idaho and seeing just how cool this stuff really is, I knew I had to try it out.

Fly didnt have a womens line until now. With Fox, Thor, and Answer all ahead of them some might think it would be hard to jump right in but not for this company. Fly realized that women riders are definitely not like the guys. We like to show femininity and style in everything we do. Plus we want it to fit right and want our gear to be as safe as possible.

Down here in Florida its perfect riding weather. So, I went riding yesterday wearing Fly Gear instead of my normal Fox Racing jersey, pants, and gloves. As soon as I slipped the pants on I knew there was something different about it. It actually fit perfectly, and thats a surprise because Im petite (5 ft. and 90 lbs). The pants werent too long or baggy. I also liked that they had a zipper and button in the front opposed to some of the other waist closures. Not only that but I had plenty of movement in them. As far as the jersey goes, it was the most comfortable yet tough jersey Ive ever worn. Even Flys gloves fit my small hands great comfortably and were tough. Fly Racing's womens gear comes in either pink or blue.

I like to ride hard so gear that is tough means a lot and after riding through about 12 miles of whoops going as fast as I could the gear held up! Ive worn other gear that starts to wear out around the knees when you grip the bike with your legs. Thats not good but Flys gear held up through it all. In total yesterday I rode about 20 to 25 miles at full speed. The gear kept me cool and allowed a lot of movement. The gloves didnt tear or cause me to have blisters. From now on, I think I will only be wearing Fly Racing. Im definitely convinced that they have some of the best gear out there. Lets just say the gear held up even though I didnt!

(As you can see the gear held up...but I didnt)

Hopefully, youre convinced now too because trust me on this ladies, youll love this gear. Itll add a little pizzazz to your riding style and may cause you to get a few looks while you fly by! You can easily purchase Fly Gear from you're local bike shop that works with Western Powersports or you can go online to flyracing.com for more info!
