I use the Tide spot remover. It looks like a pen.
These have been through LOTS of mud.

That set is about 2 years old. It's from the 07 line up. They are already putting out 09 stuff. I looked a little for you but couldn't find anything. I see you are a Honda guy too, have you seen this gear by No Fear?

yea i know its dang near impossible to get the old stuff (fox). yea i like the retro, and the helmet that matches. i am now just buying whatever jersey and pants i can get for under 70 bucks. here in florida they soak the tracks (mx) to the point they turn to straight mud.


o and a tip to everyone... don't buy corona. its crap. rips, stretches, itches the whole 9 yards.

Check out RockyMountainATV's close out section. Jerseys as cheap as 9 bucks. And pants as low as 20 bucks

Try using Oxy Clean. It seems to work pretty good on my O'Neal stuff.

what i have always done is as i wash my bike,lay the pants n jersey flat on the ground and take you powerwasher to them.it wont rip them at all.and 90% of the time,it will take all the stains outta them.and you can even use simple green on them. stuff works wonders.

That's what I do too is wash my clothes and gear at the same time as my bike. I get my clothes wet, then spray on bleech-white, (mean green, simple green, 409, etc.) then spray off my clothes. Usually don't power wash my clothes unless I have a flat tip. Then, while the clothes are wet, I throw them in the washer. By the way, try to get the mud and sand pretty much off your clothes first. My washer is on it's third pump.

I had to make my lady stop washing my gear. She would throw them in with clumps of mud and chit on them. Then not to mention she would put them in the dryer.
