JT Racing - Speed and Classic Style

Race T U.S. is synonymous with speed and classic style. Many of the best motocross riders and off-road racing history sported wild designs of John and Rita Gregory. Innovations in riding gear spilled out of the factory JT mainly during the 1970s and 80s, but the company finally disappeared from the motocross industry after the turn of the century.

Recently the company has been revitalized and introduced its first line of running clothes in over a decade. Obviously, the materials and construction techniques are modernized, but the new JT Racing opted to go with nostalgic and reverted to the original logo.

JT Racing Pro-Tour Jersey

JT Pro-Tour Jersey, offers lots of venting through mesh panels under the arms and down each side of the trunk. The necklace is also ventilated and lightweight material helps keep a rider cool and comfortable. The retro logo is proudly displayed in the center of the chest with clean lines and straight along the Jersey and other equipment. Fill light in the elbows and shoulders provide protection in scrape high-impact areas. The shirt is tapered to eliminate extra fabric through the middle and not flap around. Great guys might want to consider a slightly larger size to accommodate the court. Like the other jerseys, a longer tail section with silicone print guarantee is folded back into the waistband.

JT Racing Gloves Line Life

These are the most old-school offerings of JT gear. Gloves Lifeline has a classic style with PVC-based bike padding and then repeating that extends across the knuckles and the back of the hand. Gloves are strongly ventilated with "dimple-mesh" material that makes up most of the glove. A Velcro wrist closure is attached to a neoprene cuff. The palm is double layer Clarino patch with an extra thumb, which uses gel padding for extra comfort. Fingers silicone provide control over the levers. These are my favorite piece of gear JT. The look is totally retro and it deserves attention every time I use them. Moreover, they fit well and are comfortable. I have not had any problems with the build up, they perform on par with other modern gloves and have twice the cool factor.

JT Racing MX Pants Classick

The pants are the most sophisticated ensemble JT. Airline System (ALS) consists of large openings on the front of the thighs that provide a low-profile intake scoop. The air channel openings along thighs of the rider and are placed high enough to allow knee braces underneath, without interference. The knees are constructed of 1680 Denier and have plenty of room for straps with padding underneath thick, ribbed on the outside. The inner leg and butt is made of materials Kodra 600 Denier with stretch panels on each leg and the top of the buttocks. I have not had any problems with mobility, or the dirt bike or ATV. I also like how they are not described vinyl logos and they are unnoticeable while riding.

We appreciate the JT gear during the 2012 Kawasaki Brute Force 300 First Ride.
Interestingly, the pants are not pre-curved bill. JT keeps pilots are most of the time and so the pants are designed as a straight leg fit. I had no problems with the design or construction JT. The waist is the true size and easy to adjust with Velcro straps cinch. A full-length lining helps keep the pants comfortable against the skin and do not pull the rider to remove his pants after a sweaty ride. Leather patches on the knees to protect the interior against heat and a small stain on the crotch adds styling.

Bringing back the brand JT is a movement that excited many in the motorcycle industry, including us. Generations of pilots JT grew up idolizing the family of pilots and now they can relive the glory days of use with modern high-performance racing. I have not met a single person who does not like racing and this fact JT offers a range of colors, including pink infamous. Unlike some things retro, this gear has an extra dose of authenticity. Besides its excellent fit, which makes our favorite game of the year.
