A.R.C. Corona Pants:

Review:

There are two kinds of Sport Quad owners: those who wear blue jeans to ride and those who wear Motocross apparel.  This review is for the latter of the two. 

We received our A.R.C. (Advanced Rider Coverage) Corona pants from Rocky Mountain ATV and the first thing we noticed was the quality of them.  All the seams are double-stitched except for the high wear areas where they are triple-stitched.  They are made of 840 Denier nylon with a full mesh liner.  The fit and finish are superb.  We did notice the lack of a traditional button or snap above the zipper.  The zipper comes to the top and a flap goes across it and attaches with a square of Velcro.  We would like to see a traditional button or snap added.  The waist size is somewhat adjustable via a Velcro strap at the rear of the pants and two stretch panels located one on each side. 

We could not wait to hit the dunes in our new pants, jersey, and gloves.  I first rode in blue jeans and then changed to the Corona pants to test the difference in comfort. The blue jeans were just that... blue jeans.  They do not flow air at all. I then changed clothes (the looks I got in the parking lot were astounding) and put on the Corona pants.  I went out for a spin and wow, what a difference.  The Corona pants allowed air to flow through them keeping me cooler and let's face it you also want to look good while riding.

A.R.C. Corona is an Italian made brand that is exclusively distributed by Rocky Mountain ATV.  The Retail price is $64.99 plus shipping, but we were lucky enough to get them on sale for $49.99 plus shipping.  With Rocky Mountain ATV's no risk apparel policy you can order an item and return it if it does not fit.  They will pay the return shipping and the shipping of the replacement item as well.

 

Conclusion: We feel that A.R.C. has very good products for the price.  When compared to more established name brand apparel, the cost is very attractive to consumers.  Low price does not always mean low quality and A.R.C. has proved this with their Corona Line.  We look forward to seeing future A.R.C. product lines.
