Vital Review

Tested: Troy Lee Designs D3 Carbon MIPS (Product Review)

Overall Review
By Fred Robinson Troy Lee Designs’ Daytona, or D-series, helmets may very well be the most iconic line of full face helmets in mountain biking. Worn by some of our sport’s legends like Steve Peat, Shaun Palmer, Sam Hill, Aaron Gwin, Cam Zink and Brandon Semenuk, the list goes on and on and on. TLD's current helmet, the D3, hasn’t seen a big update for a number of years now, but as helmet technology advances, TLD has now integrated the MIPS system into the lid. If you don’t already know what MIPS is, here’s a quick run-down for you: MIPS, short for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, is...

TLD B22S A1 CLASSIC IVY 01 1000x
Troy Lee Designs A1 MIPS Helmet

A1, just as good as the steak sauce. (Product Review)

The Good

16 massive vents, Triple position adjustable retention system, Adjustable visor with anodized aluminum hardware, Washable one-piece liner, Light weight

The Bad

Adjustable retention system seems a little cheap.

Overall Review
Picked up this helmet about 4 months ago, just in time for summer. After tons of hours with it, here are my impressions: Out of the Box: First thing I noticed after pulling this out of the box was how nice the thing looked. The matte finish with glossy decals turned out to look better in person than it did on-line.It's one of the pieces that seem so nice you'd hate to ever take a spill with it. Second thing was the venting system. 16 massive vents make a window for cool air to come flowing it and then get kicked right out the back, keeping a constantstreamof air flowing across the top of my...

First Look: Troy Lee Designs A1 MIPS Vertigo Helmet (Product Review)

Overall Review
Words by Johan Hjord // Photos by Nils Hjord and Johan Hjord Troy Lee has always been at the forefront of rider safety, especially when it comes to helmet design. Following the introduction of the company's first ever D3O-equipped kneepads earlier this year, it is time for the much acclaimed A1 half-shell helmet to get new-school tech boost, in the form of MIPS. Short for Multi-Directional Impact Protection System, MIPS adds a free-floating layer between the shell and the liner, designed to allow a degree of "float" that is meant to reduce the risk of rotational brain injury that may occur in...

High Expectations (Product Review)

The Good

Brand, Durability, Styling

The Bad

Confused, Styling

Overall Review
Let me start off by saying these gloves are nice! I like them!.. a lot actually, so why didn't I give them 5 stars? well, they are a little confused. How so?.. They say XC on them, as in cross country, as in pedal mashing, cadence clambering, hear rate hiking, crack sweating cross country! So then why are they so thick? Should I add hand sweating to that list as well? The branding makes no sense, wouldn't you want your hands to breathe a little more? maybe go for a thinner material? But at the same time that is exactly what makes these gloves so awesome! They are thick and durable because of...

You Know!! (Product Review)

The Good

Troy Lee Designs, Durable, Breathable, looks

The Bad

Looks are not for everyone

Overall Review
Let's be honest, it's Troy Lee Designs, it is great stuff, but it isn't for everyone, especially at the price point. $50+ for a jersey! seems a little steep when you consider you can pick up a moto jersey for -$15 from many other brands. Why pay for it then? because it is Troy Lee Designs, the Jersey is great! it I've been down on all kinds of surfaces and it still doesn't have a hole! This jersey also breathes real well which is much appreciated during those long transfer stages. Now the 3/4 sleeves might not be for everyone but if they are your style, this jersey rocks! buy it! you won't be...

original 15TLD RUCKUS JERSEY REKON DAWN FRONT
Troy Lee Designs 2015 Ruckus Riding Jersey

Awesome Jersey, Strong, light, breathable, and comfortable. (Product Review)

The Good

I purchased 2 of these Jerseys having never purchased or worn any tld jerseys. I had become fond of 3/4 length sleeves for mountain biking here in socal, liked the colors of the jerseys, and had enough gift card money to pay essentially nothing for the two (which were on sale for $35). The pocket...

The Bad

None as of now for me personally. I will say, the jersey is hotter then a short sleeve, but that is expected and a trade off for the added protection. Arms might be a tad too tight for those will very big and muscular arms. I haven't personally tried them with elbow or arm pads but I feel like they...

Overall Review
For my first taste of TLD apparel, I'm enjoying these jerseys hugely! These jerseys are everything I look for for all day rides and technical terrain here in hot socal. Arms could be a bit looser if you have big arms or want to wear arm pads, but for me, they work great.

Too good to go wrong (Product Review)

The Good

Very comfortable, adjustable, great sizing, ergonomic for cycling and storing items in the pockets, easy to clean

The Bad

Minimal storage

Overall Review
I have been wearing these shorts for over 3 years. These shorts are perfect for any type of cycling. They are far more comfortable for riding in than any other style of shorts i have tried. The pockets on each side of the thighs are great for holding your items such as a phone, coins, headphones and even a muesli bar. The zip pocket on the rear is also very useful for storing items such as tyre lever or spare derailleur hanger. The adjustable waste allows for perfect sizing and comfort around the hips and is useful if you wear padded undershorts underneath. The fabric of the short allows for...

They do the job (Product Review)

The Good

Good air flow, light weight, large variety of colours and sizes, touch screen compatible, leather edging near wrist.

The Bad

Velcro strap stops working, too thin for long rides, TLD logo peels off .

Overall Review
I have been riding with these gloves for 9 months now and have overall been satisfied with how they have protected my hands. They have covered a large variety of impacts, from the big step down crashes to the embarrassing "i couldn't un-clip from my pedals" falls. I'll start with the negative and end with the good. THE NEGATIVE Velcro strap: The velcro strap which keeps the glove tight around your wrist is the main negative and let down in this product. After about 10 rides the velcro strap looses it's strength and manges to comes loose constantly when riding. It is a fairly bignuisance when...

Troy Lee Designs Moto Shorts (Product Review)

The Good

Extremely durable, Knee pads fit good under shorts, Zipper pocket

The Bad

Just a bit bulky

Overall Review
The TLD Moto shorts are great for DH use as they are as close to indestructible as you can get. I bought the all black ones so I would have no worries riding in the rain on race days and for the simplistic look of them. They run pretty true to the rest of the TLD lineup and have an adjustable cinch strap up front to help with minor sizing adjustments. They also do come with a set of thin hip pads which I know have helped a little bit in the many wrecks I put these shorts through. They also feature a four way stretch in the crotch and rear end to aid in your movements on the bike. All of the...
