So let’s find out a little more about the brands and why they mean so much to us … Fox Fox is the most recognised, bestselling moto apparel brand in the world today. Created and launched by Geoff Fox in California in 1974, the company started out as a small distribution business selling motocross parts and accessories to riders. This wasn’t enough for Mr Fox though, who wanted to make the name stand out in the moto world and did so by starting up his own professional motocross team. Ever since then Fox has been a booming brand that is no stranger to the muddy tracks! The new women’s winter range looks awesome, naturally blending in with bikes, riders and the hustle and bustle of a busy motocross paddock. Fox get a big thumbs-up from us for keeping us girls looking so chic, snug and warm! Fox are one of the few moto brands out there who have managed to strike just the right balance of moto-inspired design and feminine detailing, creating stunning women’s collections… and lucky us!! The brand’s latest casual wear collection (winter 14) proudly displays their iconic Fox head logo, paired with beautiful faux fur and super-soft linings. Their amazing collection of jackets and hoodies are but a few of many absolute musthaves for your wardrobe this winter. Volcom If you’ve heard Volcom’s motto: “Youth Against Establishment”, you’ll know they believe in supporting young talented minds, whether that is in music, art, film or action sports. In other words, they want their brand to represent freedom of creativity. This is exactly why Volcom fits in perfectly at the MX track. By mixing their love of action sports and innovative fashion, they are able to strike the right balance of athletic inspiration and comfort. Volcom’s winter range for women has an abundance of perfectly fitted items and delicate design details, proving once and for all that comfort and quality do not necessarily equal ‘boring’ and ‘safe’! Whether you’re looking for a scoop neck tee, a pair of skinnies or a heavy-duty parka, Volcom is sure to have you covered! Don’t forget… Volcom have been making high end, technical snowboard outerwear for years, so rest assured they know their stuff when it comes to keeping you warm.
