Bike jockstraps

[HunggGreek]

I bought two of the throwback edition Bike jocks before they went out of business and you can be damn sure I'm never getting rid of them. I love them

That looks like an older version of the ones my uncle has, I thought those were Champion sportswear, which became a part of Hanes brands before they discontinued their jockstraps.

This is the other Champion, which i have only seen, never owned. My uncle has several Grid brand jocks in both regular and swimmer. It seems they and this Champion are a lot alike, not sure who made who's but they appear to be the same jock.

Hmmm I guess they were the same

Me too. Did Russell kill off the entire brand or just the jockstrap? If the latter, I can understand, given that jocks have, sadly, been replaced by pussified compression shorts.
I feel fortunate to have worn Bike jocks all through jr hi and hs and college and beyond. I have several "Gym" jocks--the replicas of Bikes, and they're ok, tho they seem not as well made.
How did we get to a lockless society?

I think they killed off the entire Bike line. I have always worn Bike Jocks since I was in high school and went to order some and saw they had been discontinued

Fuckin autocorrect changed "jockless" to "Lockless." Ridiculous. Whoever heard of a lock strap??...

I wish they would have kept the line too. Makes me wonder if the "gym" branded replica jocks are selling as well, or if they took a knock. Apparently the same factory that was making the Bike jocks wanted to keep working so they are still being made in the same way just with a different brand name on the end product. It seems like Russell sportswear should have been able to find a different company to sell the Bike brand to keep the product out there rather than killing it completely. I guess they did the research and crunched numbers and said the better choice is to end it instead. Surprising that all of the gym rats from the 70s thru the 2000s didn't protest, but I'm sure they may not have realized some fans of the brand exist.

I'll probably buy some more of the "Gym" brand, maybe with smaller bands than my current 3 inch waistband Bikes

Where you get that. I’ve been looking for them?

 

[JohnDoeXXXm]

Unfortunately the product is long gone @ZX.z58 . I just did a Google search and found pictures for reference here in the board . I have a couple myself for my own gym rotation and they are irreplacable!

I have some last-issue 2" Bikes and I do find that 3" is unnecessary. I suppose they used those waistbands that size for football? Not sure of the justification.
I feel like Gym brand replacements are basically the same design, but they quality doesn't feel the same to me. Mine start unraveling here and there just a little way too soon.

I like the three inch ones because I had an inguinal hernia repair years ago and the three inch waistband provides extra support in that area.

Looking for a 3 inch classic black bike jock in medium. Will pay

I have a couple of Champion. Comfortable enough to sleep in.

Discontinued, old, never used, used, vintage Bike jock straps can still be obtained on EBay, Amazon, and other sites...or actually most other brands as well.

Old, beat, too large in waist band, super comfortable
