  i dont get why Fox clothes are so expensive. What, are bike riders rolling in cash or something?

  Because to me, $35 for a basic hoodie (plus postage) is expensive.
  Cheap for Fox? yes.
  Cheap for any other brand of clothing? nope.

  Not negging, just wondering if I'm missing something here.

    Where do you shop?

    At my local DFO, Surf brand hoodies (Ripcurl, Billabong etc) start at $60. Sports brands (Converse, Fila etc) from $50.

      That's because they know surfers are even dumber than MX riders! :p
      (This is a joke BTW, for all you surfies busy reaching for that '-'!)

      FWIW, when I rode dirt bikes many years ago, Fox was the cheapest brand of riding gear you could get! If you couldn't afford Alpinestars etc, you got Fox! My how times have changed…good on Fox for building a brand name IMHO! ;)

        I'm new to dirt bikes and I see Fox as a cheap brand.

        Even at DFO Bond's Hoodies are $35 maybe more

        And the quality difference with a JJ's brand version isn't worth the $10 saving

        Its funny cause when I surfed many years ago, Quicksilver was the most budget brand you could get. Just goes to show what a heavy advertising budget can do.

        And at least Fox actually always made good suspension components as their core business. Quicksilver branded surfboards were a much later extension of their core fashion business.

  I thought that this would be "Electric", like those heated throws or a USB toy or something. ROFL

  But it's not. I can't even work out why it's called "Electric Head" since the pattern seems just the same as the other Fox stuff (basically, just a logo)

    You mean the hoodie doesnt retract at the push of a button like a Porsche Convertable ?

    FAIL !

  I thought it was some sort of cabriolet arrangement. I had visions of the hood coming over the top like a convertible car.

  Try signing up for the torpedo7 newsletter to get a $10 off coupon (for orders over $50 i think). That will cover postage.
