BMX Race Gear
Race gear covers everything you wear and carry on the track that isn't the bike. USA BMX and BMX Canada require a helmet, long-sleeved jersey, long pants, and closed shoes at minimum. At competition level, chest protection and knee/shin guards are strongly recommended and required at some sanctioned events.
Stay Strong, Evolve, and S1 Defense cover the protection range — from lightweight Ironlite vests for entry-level competition through the S1 Defense EPIC and ELITE jackets for elite riders who want maximum coverage. Stay Strong BMX race jerseys and pants are tested by the Stay Strong World Team and run at UCI World Cup level.
Fit matters as much as protection rating. Gear that doesn't fit correctly shifts during a race and reduces both comfort and protection. If you're unsure on sizing, contact us — we can advise based on your rider's measurements.
