Compared to what?

All that pseudo MX gear is a con now, +£150 for a pair of trousers? TLD gear is a bit hit and miss, I really like the GP gloves and they last ages but the stitching in their shorts and pants is a joke and how can you make a MX/DH item that can't be machine washed??? Eh???

Agreed, nice gloves and their jerseys fit me well and last forever. Shorts and pants don't work for me and never been lucky enough to owns d2/3

Helmets are made in the US iirc. D2 is a lovely thing and worth the money.
Sprint and Moto shorts are pretty good quality. I had some xc shorts and the stitching was poor.
Its a premium brand so will always be expensive.

I love Troy Lee gear. I got a few bits cheap when working in a shop and it has all been brilliant. I wouldn't pay full price for it, but if you can get last years stuff cheap, it is worth it.

Kali stuff is as good, some say better, and cheaper, downhill lids anyway.

D2 is over priced, there are better quality helmets available much cheaper. The D2 is renowned for not offering much protection to the sides of the head, hence the introduction of the D3...

It is still a very nice object.
If you want increased protection get a moto helmet.
