Fox Racing

Great shoe with ample pedaling stiffness while still being comfortable to walk/hike in. I ride on spd XT pedals which have absolutely no platform so the shoe needs to be stiff enough to compensate. I wanted a shoe that was more trail, less XC that had boas. These fit the bill beautifully. They�re roomy in the toe but can crank down via the front boa for those with normal to narrower feet. The toe is burly enough to protect against rock strikes and my only issue I�ve had was the tongue is a little thin at the top where I was having a little discomfort from the top boa cord early on. My feet seem to have gotten used to it, or the shoes have broken in in such a way that it isn�t as much an issue now. I�ve been riding these for a couple months and I love them. They are a little pricy IMO, but otherwise, great shoes.

I can't say enough good things about these gloves. They are the perfect weight and fit for colder temps down to 40's. I have used a lot of gloves from road brands that are much more expensive, and these are my favorite.

Although I haven't tested these with as fall, I have worn them for several months, I own three pairs. The "chamois" is thick and does a great job of keeping the bottom from feeling sore after a couple of hours in the saddle. Might feel too thick if you're shuttling all day and don't put in a lot of saddle time. Quality is solid, no issues with seams, the thighs stays down with the non slip material very well. I will be purchasing another pair or two.

I bought these because the chamois pad in my Zoic liners just weren't cutting it as I increased my miles on the mtb. I figured even if these were made for racing, Fox would still do a better job at a mtb chamois. So far I've been impressed. The padding isn't bulky or even noticeable and I haven't experienced hot spots during longer spells in the saddle. Haven't crashed with them (yet) so I can't speak to how protective they are, but they seem like they'll be ready. Good luck fitting them in a drawer though, they don't fold due to the padding.
