IN THE WIND P44 Fly Racing 2020 Apparel Launch T he Fly Racing brand has come a long way in recent years. The Boise, Idaho, company started in the late 90s as a value-priced line and slowly expanded and began to work with pro riders in the early 2000s. Over the past 5-6 years, the line has evolved to include high-performance apparel that rivals other top brands, and earlier this year, it introduced their high- end Formula helmet, which features tech- nology that has placed them among the top helmet brands, as well. To show- case the new products for 2020, Fly invited members of the media to Idaho for its third annual Fly Summer Camp for a couple of days of riding and activi- ties. Fly athletes Andrew Short, Weston Peick and Damon Bradshaw joined in on the fun. The line itself is not significantly changed for 2020. The Formula helmet gets an additional graphic line called the Vector that comes in four colorways. We're impressed with the Evolution DST (Durable Stretch Technology) pants, which feature DST that is flexible but more durable than the materials used in most pants that incorporate a stretch material. The matching jersey and gloves were also impressive. For our trail riding day, we tested the Kinetic Mesh kit, which is part of the 2019.5 line, and it was excellent for the warm-weather conditions.

Fly held its traditional Fly Summer Camp near its facility in Boise, Idaho. The company uses the opportunity to debut its latest line of riding apparel.
