New Trials Specific Clothing Retailer!!!

[va_tick]

I just wanted to let you guys know htat there is a new place to get some trials specific clothing at great prices!!!

www.trial1wear.com (http://www.trial1wear.com)


Hello all. We have just opened up an online store which will be selling a range of trials specific clothing and riding gear. The new retailer is Trial One! www.trial1wear.com (http://www.trial1wear.com)

We are currently the primary distributor for a new and affordable trials specific gear made by Trident bikes.

Trial One will be expanding its selection in months to come and plans to offer a large range of trials specific clothing from several different manufactures all at an affordable price.

I have personally tested the shoes, shorts and shin guards. Please take the time to read my product reviews. Thanks.

Reviews

When I first received the package I was immediately impressed with the look and quality of each product.

SHOES
The shoes are extremely similar in look to Ribo’s trial shoe. It uses a solid ratcheting system and two Velcro straps for securing the shoe. Like the Rebo’s, the shoes also have a built in neoprene ankle support which fits nice and snug. Even the soles bare the same style tread as the Rebo’s. The soles were a little stiff at first, like any shoe, but after a few rides they have loosened up quite nicely.

In all, the Trident, Mr. Comp trial shoe offers the same great performance found in the Rebo’s but for half the price. The way I look at it is you can by two of these shoes for the price of one set of Rebo’s.

The shorts are by far my favorite product in the line. For the longest time I’ve wanted a pair of the Euro style long shorts that we’ve seen all the Koxx riders wear. The only problem is that no one stocks them and if you can get them they will cost you around $100 after shipping.

SHORTS
The Trident trials shorts offer the same look and performance for half the price!!
I’m extremely impressed with how light and comfortable these shorts are. There is a belt-less latching system and special stretch material in the butt area for pre-loading. The great thing is that when riding in these shorts you can’t even tell their on……that’s how comfy and light they are. The material is also very absorbent and does a great job pulling the sweat away from your body. I love these shorts and have already picked up several pairs for myself!!!!

SHIN GAURDS
How many of us are currently riding with no protection…lol. If you’re like me, you’ve thrown your heavy, bulky, and over intrusive shin pads away long ago. Sure, it’s much more comfortable with no pads, but every time I ride I know I’m one slip away from stitches…..it’s not a matter of if…it’s a matter of when.

Finally there is a shin pad that was made specific for trials. The pads are essentially thin neoprene stockings that also contain a thin, flexible rubber insert that gives just enough protection where it’s needed most. The best part about the shin guards is that they are extremely light and you don’t look like a complete fool with them on. I will never where another set of clunky pads again!! There specifically made with the trial rider in mind….what more can I say?

I have to say that this gear is outstanding for the price and i cant wait to mine!!! :h5:

[johnglazer]

I didn't get a chance to look closely at the shoes, but the shorts and shin guards looked great. I've got a combo #1 on order.

[eturt9]

Ordered some shorts

[FoxRacer]

Can't wait for my first batch of those!:)

Oh, and could you tell us something more about other clothing?? I'm thinking really hard about something else with wise pricing, but nothing comes to my head;P

[dengenerate]

call them what you want, but "capris" is three words less than "euro style long shorts." :rofl:

good looking stuff though.

[aki]

Looks great :) Price is great also.

[MikeTheBike]

You need to sell gloves, socks and moisture-wicking shirts (i.e. not "jerseys"), too.

so true

for that price i just might not get a new pair of monty shoes in hte future

[johnglazer]

Yeah, good luck finding better prices than these!

[va_tick]

Noel, Monty shoes will surely run you over $150 shipped. The Mr.Comp shoes are priced at 79.99....you could by two for the price of the Monty's.....

[mikeyr89]

I'm ordering soon too!

[va_tick]

Great mikey!!!

As to the suggestions. I"m trying to get some trials specific gloves in the works, ASAP!!!

[yay]

Nice! Finally somebody is importing trident to usa.

PS
Tell them to fix their logo.
Oh wait, all trials companies sport ugly design at first.

[mikeyr89]

Check out those tryalls, those ones are so sick and I can't wait to use them!
Make sure you get shirts that are WHITE! That's all I say. Maybe sweet trials socks too? Oh well, haha

[va_tick]

Yeah, we would like to bring in our own TrialOne gloves, shirts, and what not but these things cost money...so we'll have to wait and see.

Have you already put in the order?

[va_tick]

Have you already put in the order?

For gloves? No, I'm waiting to see what they have...amy come out with our own TrialOne design??

[johnglazer]

For gloves? No, I'm waiting to see what they have...amy come out with our own TrialOne design??

gotcha
That would be awesome to have your own design, but I assume it would be rather expensive..

[va_tick]

pic of me riding with said shoes and shorts....:riaa:

[Dang!]

those shorts look so sweet! Have your tried riding w/ the shin gaurds yet?
I might need to product test those for you.

[va_tick]

Yes I've ridden with them and their "very nice.....yezz"!!!

[toyota200x]

Are these shin guards breathable? Do your legs ever get soaked in sweat like when you wear traditional ones?

[mikeyr89]

Are these shin guards breathable? Do your legs ever get soaked in sweat like when you wear traditional ones?

I don't have first hand expierence but they look really breathable, and thin. MUCH lighter than any other shin pads I've ever seen. Hence, the reason I'm getting them.

[va_tick]

Are these shin guards breathable? Do your legs ever get soaked in sweat like when you wear traditional ones?

Yes, they are very light and breathable. Their made of an extremely thin material which really help with the comfort factor. Of course if you sweat like I do there's nothing in the world that can prevent that kind of soaking..lol.

I've not been bothered by them like other non trials specific pads I've used in the past......I hope that answered your question??

brrr....!!!!

my swiss friends test the shoes....it's a shit!!! he pay half price respect to ribo...but they broke it in half time...

the sole of the shoe apper the same of monty and ribo (italian product...by davos italia...), he have the same design but the materials isn't strong like davos...


the short...i don't know.

the shinguard is enormous!!! and the plastic inside it's a shit...i use a fox from 3 years.


price high...good....low price...low life time!!!!

[AndyT]

awesome in dephf revWiews breahhh!


BRRR!

I've had good luck with the Trident shoes so far. I know several people whom have Ribos and each have complained about the durability and lifetime of the Ribo shoes.

The bottom line is that its obvious most trials specific shoes have a relatively short life span. At least at 79.99 a pair for the Trident shoes you can my two for the price of one set of Ribo's which wear just the same as all the other trial shoes on the market!!

As for the shin gaurds..read the original post. It is a stocking with a slim plastic insert that cover the shin wear it is most likely to get injured. The stocking rises just above the knee......the plastic insert is similar in protection to other pads out there.....your fox pads are perfect for trials, I'm sure:greddy: .

Muddyfox, JohnGlazer,Mikeyr89,Dang and others that were at the comp all had a chance to see the product first hand and they ca attest as that these are decent products.

Thanks for sharing your reputable personal opinion.:hsugh:

Give everybody a chance to try out the product?

I didn't notice the shin guards til I read the description. Looks wayyyy better then my ugly bulky sweaty Fox shin guards.

The shoes looked like they were just as good quality as Ribos. You can't judge by the price. other shops sell these for approx. $140 US. They sell the shorts for about $80 US. Besides, everyone knows that high prices don't always mean better product anymore.

shinguards enormous??? what the hell are you talking about? Its not plastic inside it. My 661 Veggie Wraps, which I consider to be some of the smaller shinguards out there, are larger than the trident ones. Are you even thinking of the right product?

why don't you wait to bash a product until you try it yourself?

I know that muddyfox is riding with ribos right now, and is ordering some of the trident shoes. Maybe he will be so kind as to write a comparative review once he has tried them out.:wiggle:

[Tanner]

I would by the shoes in a heartbeat........if they made size 47

[johnglazer]

I would by the shoes in a heartbeat........if they made size 47

He is trying to find out if he can have some made. I need 47ish also. hopefully he can get some, if not, I might have to grind my toes down :dunno:

[AndyT]

In for size 56

[Noel]

ryan do you know if they are gonna make some long pants as well or is it just the shorts???

[va_tick]

In for size 56

Oh baby!!

[va_tick]

ryan do you know if they are gonna make some long pants as well or is it just the shorts???

I was thinking the same thing and I'm gonna see if they can wip a batch up before winter.

[eturt9]

I also need 47's.

[va_tick]

I'm working on it....I guess the China men underestimated the gurth of the american male....lol!

[Noel]

I was thinking the same thing and I'm gonna see if they can wip a batch up before winter.

i hope so cause i'd want some for the fall/winter season.

[johnglazer]

i hope so cause i'd want some for the fall/winter season.
me too!

[thetart20]

I guess the China men underestimated the gurth of the american male....lol!
Agreed! My XL shorts are too small :( Haha.

[johnglazer]

I think Ryan was saying that the size only relates to the length, but I might have understood wrong.

[stewpend0us]

so has anyone bashed their shins with these pads yet?? how'd they do? if i don't start wearing something on my shins they're never going to get a chance to heal ever...i'd be interested in some pants too perhaps

[va_tick]

I always say some protection is better than none. I havnt had any pad shin accidents lately...mainly becuase the shoes do not slip form my pedals...they really offer great grip.(I run cheap Diamond back platforms).

I'm working on getting pants made that will bare the TrialOne name and a design much like the koxx styled pants. I will keep you guys posted!!

[johnglazer]

I think that these pads are designed more to prevent the cheese grater effect of the pedal. I bet you will still feel the smack of the pedal though.

I had some shin guards similar to these, except they were the normal velcro wrap around style, and my shins never got torn up, but some of the bad hits would still hurt a bit, just from the blunt smack.

That's cool...i really just need something to keep from breaking the skin.. i can handle the rest of it. The comments "dude what'd you do to your shins" are getting old and i keep re-opening cuts so they never heal......i'll figgure out my financials in the next few days and see if i can fit em in my trials budget ;)

[Dang!]

hmmm... yes- the trials budget.
a very elusive and clever beast!

[johnglazer]

you would normally think that bills and food would be top priority, but the trials budget always seems to come first...

[Noel]

:h5: that is sooooo true

[BEagle]

I bought a pair of Trident trial shoes some months ago: they are comfortable and have better grip than Try All shoes I used before them...but I almost destroyed them in 3 weeks of riding (4-6 rides per week). Definitively I'll never buy anything else by Trident becuase there's no gain since their quality reflects their cost!! My next shoes will be Ribo or Try All again (that looks 100 times better than Ribo's and other gay shoes).

What was deystroyed? He has changed the material of the sole from the early shoes that were produced. He now uses a much harder sole(takes a little longer to break in) that comes with a 3month warranty. This may have fixed any issues with the soles of the shoe.......I cant really speak to anything else at this point.

No, the sole is ok. The problem is the shoe, they already begin to have some holes to the side and the seams (not sure if used the right word) are broken in some points. Anyway as I said in advance the sole is not bad, more grip, more comfort and more durable than Try All (black) for sure.

[muddyfox]

I wanna see pics from all these peeps that say their shoes fall apart in 3 weeks...

[BEagle]

Do you wanna see a picture of me or of my shoes?? :P

Anyway I've no picture to show you at present, just trust me...or if you can't don't believe me, I don't give a fuck...

[johnglazer]

Ryan, how are your shoes holding up? Are any of the seams looking worn or frayed?
I wonder if they improved the seams as well.

[va_tick]

they are fine ....I dont see how they could be that worn in just 3 weeks???

[rush]

^^ I agree with this statement.

So I have been working with the vendor and I hope to have a set of trials specific pants and glove bearing the TrialOne name. They will look "similar" to the pics below.

I hope to have them for sale around X-mas time.

Pants will cost around $50-60.00, Gloves $20-30.00

Ryan

[muddyfox]

Vera nice. yeez!!!

[johnglazer]

hell yeah!

[Noel]

my xmas present to myself

[mikeyr89]

Ryan, that's so sick!!!!

[Dr.dumb]

So what is the waist size for the large short. I have a fat ass

[johnglazer]

Ryan, correct me if I am wrong

All the shorts are the same waist size (not sure what the actual size is). The different sizes vary in length, the waist is one size fits all.

Ryan, do you know what the max waist size is for these shorts?

[va_tick]

38-40 for the Lg's(6ft+) and they would be "very" tight. If your less than 6ft tall and you get the mediums there is probably no chance of fitting in them if your waist is over a 38.

[RyanMcVicker]

im getting those gloves when they come out

What material are the gloves made of? Looks good!

[va_tick]

What material are the gloves made of? Looks good!

Gloves will be made of a mesh top and synthetic leather bottoms....very,very breathable!! They are still a way off from productin right now. I'll keep you guys posted!!

[aki]

Awesome :) Please do. Gloves are one thing that I could see improvements. Love the TLD Air gloves but they don't last long!

[eturt9]

shorts came a few days ago. they look and fit great. I'll just have to get out and ride in them soon.

thanks

[va_tick]

Great! Feel free to leave comments on how they are once you've ridden in them.

Ryan

[johnglazer]

I have only ridden in mine for about an hour, but so far they are great. They feel lighter and more breathable than the Under Armor shorts I was wearing before. Very comfortable!

[netto]

the products look awesome! i like the idea of the pants too.

[eturt9]

Been wearing the shorts a bit. Very nice. Sidehops +3".

They fit well and just drop down below my knee cap. They are tight, but not euro gay tight or anything. Elastic stretch in the back is nice as is the built in belt. Keeps your ass crack out of sight on those big sidehops.

mesh material on the inside feels nice on the skin. :greddy:

I'll for sure buy the pants if they are similar. Been looking for these for a while.

[AndyT]

Ordered shorts medium and some shoes, looking forward to giving long review...probably one of the only people to use the original koxx shorts back in 03 so I can do a comparison, as well as using various years of monty / tryalls. No ribos though, just touched them.

[muddyfox]

Got my shorts and shin pads. Will give you all my opinion after ive worn them for a bit and washed them a few times..
Big thumbs up so far though. :bigthumb:

[rush]

So what is the waist size for the large short. I have a fat ass

That was my av for a long time :squint:

[caleb1978]

Seems like the shin pads have been around long enouph for a rider review. Who wears them? I want to order but no one spoke up to say how they are. That is kinda strange. So please how are they for YOU? Caleb
