Jersey, pants, gloves: motocross gear is chosen piece by piece, but it has to work as a whole. It protects you, lets you move freely on the bike and takes mud, crashes and endless washes. When it is custom-made, it also becomes your signature on the track.

 

This guide gives you the key points for choosing and building your gear: the pieces it is made of, the printing technique, sizing, manufacturing and the steps to get started.

 

Why choose custom motocross gear ? 

 

On a start gate, off-the-shelf gear all ends up looking the same. Custom gear makes you recognisable at a glance: for your family trackside, for your sponsors and in race photos.

 

Customising your gear also lets you:

 

  • showcase your sponsors, with their logos exactly where you want them;

  • display your name and number, in races and in practice;

  • create a shared identity for a club or team;

  • match your colours to your bike and graphics kit.

 

At Impulse Racing there is no minimum order: a single set is made under the same conditions as a full team order.

 

What makes up a motocross kit: jersey, pants, gloves

 

The jersey

 

It is the most visible piece. It must be light, breathable and roomy enough to go over a chest or back protector. It is also the main canvas for your design. Browse our custom motocross jersey range.

 

The pants

 

They take the most punishment: rubbing against the bike, knee grip, crashes. They need reinforcement in the contact zones while staying supple. Our made-to-order motocross pants match the jersey of your choice.

 

The gloves

 

They give you grip on the bars and protect your hands from roost and blisters. Pick matching motocross gloves for a consistent look.

 

The full kit

 

For a perfectly matched set, our custom motocross gear sets combine jersey and pants in a single design.

 

Sublimation or heat transfer: which customisation should you choose ?

 

Heat transfer applies a design on the surface of the fabric. With abrasion and washing, it can crack or peel off.

 

Sublimation prints the ink into the fibre of the fabric. The design becomes part of the textile: it cannot peel, and it gives you complete creative freedom across the whole garment. It is the technique we use for all our gear.

 

For a detailed comparison of both techniques, read our article on the difference between sublimation and heat transfer.

Choosing the right size (adult and youth)

 

Custom gear is made for you, so it cannot be returned or exchanged. Getting the size right is essential. Depending on the model, our jerseys run from kids 4-5y to 3XL, and our pants from 18 to 40 US.

 

Three reflexes to remember: measure yourself with your protection on, do not rely on your everyday clothing size, and avoid sizing up for a child "so they grow into it".

 

All measurement charts are in our guide to choosing the right size.

French manufacturing: our guarantees and lead times

 

All our gear is designed and made in France, in our workshop in Yèvres, Eure-et-Loir. Graphic design, printing, cutting and assembly are all done in-house.

 

For you, that means:

 

  • quality controlled at every step;

  • made-to-order production, piece by piece, with no overstock;

  • controlled lead times: 2 to 4 weeks of production depending on the model;

  • a contact close to you, reachable throughout your order.

 

It is the same know-how we put at the service of the teams we kit out, such as team Yamaha MJC, with whom we have worked since 2012.

FAQ: custom motocross gear

 

How long does it take to receive custom motocross gear? Allow 2 to 4 weeks of production depending on the model, from the moment your design is approved. The exact lead time is shown on each product page.

 

Can I order a single custom set? Yes. There is no minimum order: a single set is made with the same materials and care as a team order.

 

Can custom gear be returned or exchanged? No. Because each set is made in your colours with your logos, it cannot be returned or exchanged. That is why it is important to check your size before confirming.

 

Can you kit out a whole club or team? Yes. We produce coordinated gear for clubs, teams and resellers, with a single point of contact and grouped orders.

 

Can I use my motocross gear for winter sand races? Your pants, gloves and protection will serve you well on sand. However, sand races require a specific bib for each event, so you will need a jersey with that race's bib integrated.
