Each style comes with a five-snap.. pattern. which is a plus for the rider . With the two extra snaps. included with the visor . you can be sure that the shade will still be there at the end of the race. For $2 .95 retail . they are a good. in e x p e n sive in vestment that will im p rove you r looks in red . blue , smoke, white and yellow . . (714)696.1ge6 (714)595-9100 when you 're trying to decide which pair is right for you . Bates, JT. Malcolm Smith, Griffin . ABC , Bill Walters. Veras . TRIM and -T rac-Pro all make a great set of pants. but som e are better than others. The Trac-Pro Motocross Pants is one of those better pairs. Trac-Pro combines tough . tearresistant nylon with a soft, durable leather around the seat. knees and inside legs to make a light . comfortable pair of leathers. The lin ing is a vented nylon, sewn only at the top and bottom of the pants. This allows a more abundant airflow while in use. but creates a problem when slipping them on and off. It's really easy to put your bare foot through the mesh . or tear it out while you 're stumbling around at five in the morning on Sunday. Special attention was paid to the little things that can easil y go wrong with motocross pants. like using velcro instead of zippers on th e calf openings and hip pads. which make the TracPro pants a step ahead of the competition. To hold them around your waist. a zipper . snap and buckle have to be fastened . A choice of two types of knee cups are available. the knee/shin guard or the stock knee cup only . Outside zippers open up on the knee to allow access to their compartments. As for the looks of the Trac-Pro Motocross Pants , their color combinations of black /gold. blue/gold and red/gold are highlighted by the Trac- Pro logo on the right front thigh. the same logo on the rear. and the words Trac-Pro down the side of each leg in big b lue letters accompanied by the Tibblin Racing Products logo above. . At only $98 .9~ retail , these motocross pants are by far the best , most comfortable pants available t?day with exception . to. I,lone. mislead you int o thinking they cannot be ve ry durable under harsh co n di t io n s . But after weeks of co nti nuous use on and in th e sunny SoCal sa nds. the Series II glov es proved to be on e of the longes t lasting products on th e market.

Tibblin's secret to the comfort of th e Series II gloves is the material that goes int o each pair. Softness can be cre d ited to the sheepskin , but the comfort comes from th eir de sign. The cuts and stitching form nicely around the hand, and go unnoticed while your fingers are in action. A pre-cupped palm eliminates the usual break-in period of new gloves. Protection is maximum for the hands and fingers . while a unique blister pad has been built inside th e palm. Backpadding comes on all five fing ers and is thick enough to fight off flying objects, yet soft enough to allow movement without interference. The Rolf Tibblin Series II gloves reta il for $23 .95. and come in a sel ection of co lo rs ava ilabl e at motorcycle shops carrying Trac-Pro and Tibblin Racing Products. .

Trac-Pro Racing Jerse ys By Brian George It 's nice to have a jersey that is comfortable for both day and night racing , and the Rolf Tibblin/Track-Pro Racing Products' new racing jerseys are just that. There are two styles available. a vented nylon with solid knit shoulders and cuffs. or , a 100% solid knit nylon jersey, and each allows easy air flow during the warmer weather, but still keep the upper body going when it's cold. Color combinations on the T ibblin/ Trac-Pro racing jerseys are really trick. with the Trac- Pro logo on front and the Tibblin Racing Products logo down each sleeve . For protection, the solid knit shoulders are light and comfortable. but lack the doublestrength needed for hard getoffs. Elbow pads. on the other hand, a re rather large. but the protection is there where you need it. Trac-Pro retails their racing jerseys for $15 .95. which is competitive .with any jersey on the market. and if you 'd like an all-weather shirt on your back, see one at your nearest dealer carrying Rolf Tibblin or Trac -Pro Racing Products. • - - • • • • _ •
