Fly Gear for the Really Long Ride!

FLY PATROL PANTS/JERSEY

Now that it is cooling off I have been doing some longer rides with the new FLY PATROL riding pants and jersey.  I think this combo may be my new favorite combo! They were comfortable right out of the bag and seemed to ward off some of the cooler air keeping me more comfortable. But, when I needed any extra air flow I simply opened the vent zippers and immediately felt the cool air pass through!

Going out on longer rides means having to carry more stuff, like ID, wallet, money, cell phone, gloves, snacks, SPOT (to make Cheryl happy), etc.  These pants and jersey have a couple of well placed zippered pockets that are perfect for these extras.  I can easily get to the necessary money or credit card when I run across fuel stops on these longer rides. Convenience is ALWAYS appreciated on long rides!

I really like the looks of the gear and find them very comfortable all day long. Just the right fit without being too tight like regular MX pants that can bind, yet not too loose like adventure riding pants, that get caught on things. I can wear just about any kind of knee cups with no problem. Since I do not wear knee braces I cannot speak to that.

I have worn them for a few rides, probably 500 to 600 miles and will continue to check out the durability as I do. I will let you know how that goes after I thrash, I mean use them, for an extended period so stay tuned. They are about to head south for a bit of pre running in Baja!
