I like plain gear - I have two sets of FH gear and some additional jerseys. I like the mesh paneling on the jerseys (great for muggy Michigan weather) and durability hasn't been an issue.

Being a C level rider, I hit the dirt a decent amount of times in my gear (haha) and have had no tears or snags yet. I find the pants and jerseys fit very similar to the TLD GP line.

Personally I love everything they stand for and their gear. Have a jersey thats held up for almost two years now. Kinda liked it in the beginning because it was a bit more unique and not as popular, but can't not like them now that they've been successful and reached out to more people. Good times on dirt bikes..what's not to like?

Same here. Jerseys made in the USA too.

There was a article wrote up in META issue 3 maybe, good read. Basically 60-70s the fast guys would meet up at a club house to drink beer and bullshit after a day of riding. That was the Fasthouse. Something like that..

My FH pants were made in Vietnam; jersey and t-shirts are made in USA.
Cool thing about FH is that they will pick up the damn phone and talk directly to their customers. They will even insist that you stop by when you are in their neck of the woods. Over several decades, I have never had Tucker Rocky or Parts Unlimited invite me up for a tour and a cold one....

I'm looking at a new set of gear since my old set of oneal stuff has ripped through both knees from my knee guards.

Not a fan of the messiness that seems to be rife in designs lately, and fasthouse seem to make clean looking gear.

I like the L1 gear, like this



But I can't find anything about them through google. What on earth is Fasthouse? Is it made by another reputable gear company and rebranded?

Can anyone vouch for the wear and tear of the pants? They're priced at the same level as the reputable stuff so you'd want to hope so.

Thanks in advance!
I have a couple of Fasthouse DitD jersey's, had them for 2 years now. The fit and quality is top notch. You won't be disappointed. mxstore.com.au up here in Queensland stocks it.

Thor is going back to simplicity on the next releases and next year. Gonna be some good looking stuff. Last years Thor stuff and this years thor stuff is really great imo. Got a buddy there that does all the R&D for everything Thor. Dual sport to mx.

Fasthouse is great gear, super stylish and well built. I guess I fall in the "douchbag group" I i have spent some time with most of their riders and owners and will say it is the coolest group you will ever meet.

Great gear, been using it for 18 months,have 3 pants and 6 jerseys, you can mix and match them. Visited them when we were over in January, great guys.
Only problem I have is I started drinking 805 beer when in USA and we don't have it here in NZ.
Also the retro T Shirts are great.

Well im 6,2 and a fan of the FH designs. So i bought the Victory Navy Combo.
Looks awesome, fits awesome, feels awesome.

Now to the wear:

Im absolutely raged, disappointed and frustrated about the wear.
I just rode once and it was in the mud (sandy/loamy) and fell only one time while railing a deep rut. I was at like 1 mph and i just fell over.
After changing i recognized a quite significant hole in the right knee area.
There are tons of other holes, big scratches and all kind of clearly visible damages to the pant.
The Jersey has holes aswell.

It gets even better...

After washing the combo with the extra washingpowder for white synthetic clothes the white stripes and white areas turned into a brown disgusting colour.
Both Jersey and Pant.
It looks like a unwashed, 1000 hr used, damaged combo after just wearing it one time in mud with just once tipping over...

My 1 Year old cheap Shift Combo looks absolute new compared to this garbage. The white logos on it are also still pure white.

Im absolute dissapointed and frustrated about the FH Combo. For the price of 240€ i could have bought 2 sets of shift combos which would have lasted way better.

Maybe ill add some photos of this garbage later...

Still so frustrated...

Is it the Victory L1 jersey? I’ve learned the L1 (overseas produced) jerseys are not nearly as good as the made in America ones. I haven’t crashed in my L1 Jersey but I have crashed in my other made in America Jersey’s and don’t have any issues with them, even the ones that are now a few years old.

As far as the pants, I think I recently bought a pair of the pants you’re referring to but haven’t worn them yet. They’re much lighter and more flexible than the other fasthouse pants I have (grindhouse) so I was wondering how durable they’d be. The grindhouse pants are very durable.

How fitting of a screen name for someone calling someone else a douchebag on a message board...

Bet you wouldn’t call a single one of them that to their face.

My son has two sets, its not great gear but its good gear.. However, they are at almost every race here locally with cool ass setups and a cool ass vibe. They are true to their word. Dirt bikes and good times and could really give a rats ass about some dude from across the continent calling them douchebags!
