Sponsor Spotlight On...SixSixOne

Raji XC Gloves




Pro Bravo Carbon DH Helmet




Jay and Conor both work at our beloved sponsor, Six Six One in Valencia. Makers of fine clothing and body armor (gloves, helmets, pads, pressure suits, shoes, etc.), they have something for all of your riding and racing needs. The new carbon DH helmet is sweet, and I know they work because both of the guys are not in a coma!
I recently had to replace my old Raji XC gloves due to extensive wear and tear, and was worried that the new design would not be as favorable. One good ride, and my concerns were unfounded. I typically don't like gloves w/out a strap closure, but the Raji's continue to be secure and easy to remove. They are also very light weight. With temps in the triple digits more weeks than not lately, a lightweight xc glove is perfect. The fingertips are thermowelded with rubbery, tacky sections that help grip the brakes and shifters, and the seams do not chafe at all. Great glove, great price!
If you are a DH racer, definately check out the new full face carbon helmet, you won't be disappointed. Thanks to Jay, Conor, and Six Six One for all the help! By the way...the name? It comes from the telephone area code in Valencia, 661.
