Fly Patrol Still Going After 16,000 Miles

FLY PATROL OFF ROAD GEAR

Having been riding with the FLY PATROL off road pants and jersey now for about two years, I figured it was about time to do a follow up for MX43 readers.

Although this gear is now getting pretty long in the tooth, it is now finally starting to reach its limits. Throw in a lot of manzanita brush, cactus of all kinds, rocks and other things like hot exhaust pipes and it is understandable how I finally pushed it to the limits!

In two years and approximately 16,000 miles I have flogged and crashed the FLY PATROL pants through enough brush and rocks that I am seeing crash related tears show up. I am still amazed that the PATROL jersey has no tears! It is starting to show rough spots and snags but continues to stay in one piece despite my best efforts.

I really appreciate this gear due to the fact that I always have a place to carry my wallet, cell phone and money for gas and lunch! The adjustable waistband is a bonus too, especially when you enjoy a little too much lunch on really long rides, not that I have EVER done that. The vents with zippers are invaluable when you ride from hot to cold and back all in one ride. Countless times I have enjoyed the luxury of zipping or unzipping with changes in weather and elevation.

So if you are looking for a set of gear that you can trail ride, moto, dual sport or even race with the FLY PATROL combo can do it all.
