Designed to get Dirty! - MCREY Motocross

The epitome of  yin and yang— one being sassy and independent, while the other gentle and loving. From an early age, they were encouraged to try anything and everything. And there was only one thing these sisters had in common and that was their love for adventure. 
Fascinated with off-roading from an early age, receiving their first dirt bikes around the age of 10, they quickly realized like any sport, it requires the proper gear and safety equipment, the problem is… there were hardly any options for girls. 
During the pandemic, sisters Paige and Kelly McReynolds jokingly talked about what their dream company would look like… women’s motocross apparel that they actually wanted to wear, instead of whatever they could scrounge up in the men's section. They sat down at a whiteboard and within an hour had a name, a slogan, and their first design sketches. They knew they had something special and they wanted to share their story, their designs, and their passion for adventure with other women and girls around the world.
