Motocross clothing
- Why do you need motocross-specific clothing?
Motocross and quad biking can be dangerous sports! These sports are practiced in different disciplines:
∙ Circuit training
∙ Hiking
∙ Championship racing,
∙ Endurance
∙ Enduro
∙ trial
In all cases, this practice involves riding on dirt, sand or rock tracks, with strategic obstacles specially designed for this sport! and therefore potentially liable to cause falls.
It's therefore essential to be perfectly equipped, both to practice your sport in the best possible conditions of comfort, and to protect yourself as much as possible.
There's nothing to stop you riding in old clothes. Enduro, motocross or quad biking in jeans can be a very bad idea. Firstly, because the kneepads won't fit properly underneath, causing painful chafing and impeding movement. If the weather is rainy and muddy, you'll have to wear wet jeans! which is really very uncomfortable! The same goes for sweatpants, which are also far too fragile and liable to deteriorate on contact with exhaust fumes.
The only serious alternative is motocross clothing. For an all-day ride, for example, an outfit specially designed for this sport can make all the difference in terms of comfort and practicality!
- What are the components of a motocross outfit?
The motocross outfit consists of a motocross jersey and motocross pants

- What should I look for when buying motocross gear?
In most cases, motocross clothing is chosen by the motocross rider on the basis of price and, above all, looks. For some motocross riders, it's important to match or not their motocross outfit with their motocross or quad bike (for enduro or cross), depending on their motocross helmet helmet motocross boots as well as other cross protective equipment such as cross-country stone guards ! However, there are other points to consider before making your purchase, as cross jerseys and cross pants also have their part to play in terms of comfort and ergonomics.
Depending on the discipline for which they are intended, these garments can be divided into several sub-categories:
Quad and enduro:
When it comes to pants, the first thing to check is compatibility with your knee pads! this is essential! moto cross pants must be wide enough (but not too wide) at the knees to allow you to wear your motocross knee pads knee pads. The manufacturers have understood this and always offer enough space in all the models on offer today.
Beware of over-ventilated pants for enduro and quad biking, as they can be uncomfortable and very problematic in terms of waterproofing. For these sports, look for pants specially designed for them! They have wider cuts, pockets and reinforcements than other models.
There are two types of "special enduro" pants in this category:
- - The "cross buggy pants", which go over the motocross boots to prevent water infiltration. Not very aesthetic, but still the most effective, as they not only protect your enduro boots from water and mud, but also prevent them from rubbing against the side of the motorcycle or quad. The latter has many practical pockets.
- - The classic enduro model also has pockets, but they're more discreet and fit inside the boots.
When it comes to cross-country jerseys, forget the lightweight models that tear on contact with the first brambles they come across. There are now jerseys reinforced in certain places, specially designed for enduro and quad riding.
For motocross and sport quads:
As with the enduro/quad outfit, you'll also need to choose pants that are compatible with these motocross knee pads.
Don't choose trousers that are too light, as they won't last long in the event of a fall. Standard polyester pants are often entry-level and very comfortable to wear, but won't last the season. Resistance to washing is often much lower than in mid-range and high-end models. An outfit that will last several seasons will, for example, have two or even three seams in strategic places to prevent it from coming untucked. That's where the choice lies too! Change your outfit several times a season on a small budget, or invest in a top-of-the-range outfit and keep it for a long time.
The cut and design of typical motocross pants will vary according to the range. However, there has been considerable progress in this area, even in the entry-level range! Manufacturers are now able to offer very well-designed outfits, with multiple reinforcements and, for example, leather inserts in the calf area, as well as strategically placed vents and ventilations to better withstand the heat.
The positioning of these reinforcements and vents is very important. Poorly located, they can be a source of discomfort for the cross-country rider.
A well-designed outfit must fit perfectly in the riding position. Pants must be designed to prevent slipping during the race, with a high waistband and a higher rear waistband, and fitted with a "turn-up" in the waistband.
The pants must be designed not to slip during the race, thanks to a high, higher waistband at the back and the presence of an anti-slip silicone tape holding the pants in place.
- What materials are used in motocross outfits?
Today, many manufacturers offer a wide range of clothing specially designed for motocross and quad biking.
