The progression of gear in the motocross industry is never ending. Every year companies find ways to refine and improve their products. Fly Racing is no exception to this ever changing gear landscape of gear change. The motocross market is extremely competitive and it takes those constant refinements to stay on top of the game.
Fly Racing did step up their game with the 2011 Evolution gear and they made a few necessary adjustments to the pants to aid in comfort of the rider. Most noticeable to me was the increase in space around the knee of the pant, the 2010 model was tricky to fit some knee braces under and the 2011s had ample room and made them much more comfortable.
Many of the other features remained the same, such as the leather heat shields on the knees, dual waist belts, sure-lock fly and dual snap waist. A new feature that has been added to the Evolution pant is the stealth zippered vents on the leg just above the knee. These vents work well with the other venting materials to keep the air moving and when you throw in the well vented knees you have an idea hot-weather pant.
The Evolution Jersey follows the same trend of venting as the pant. Fly achieved this by integrating the mesh panels into the areas that they felt were key to dissipating heat. Comfort is of the utmost importance and the lycra, tagless collar did wonders for the fit and offered a high level of comfort. The cuff-less sleeves fit well but were a touch short for someone with longer than average arms, but that is something I have always had to deal with.
Both the pant and the jersey have sublimated graphics that are resistant to fading and the jersey has a silicone tail section to ensure that it stays tucked in. If you are a Fly racing fan you should love this set and if you haven't tried Fly before the Evolution gear is well worth a look.
