Racing Kit

Continental Excursions Kit

For those planning Continental Excursions this summer a 'Continental Tourist's Outfit' will be available comprising of Limited Edition WHITE jersey and shorts in the following formats:
WHITE short sleeved jersey (with short, medium or long zip. In men's club & race cut or women's cut)
WHITE sleeveless jersey (with short, medium or long zip. In men's club & race cut or women's cut)
WHITE regular shorts  (men's or women's cut)
WHITE bib shorts  (men's or women's cut)

There are advantages and disadvantages of white kit:

Advantages Disadvantages
  • Reduces absorption of radiated solar energy to keeps you cooler during the blistering heat (hopefully) experienced during Continental Endurance Events.
  • More visible in the dark.
  • Looks great if you have or plan to acquire a tan (in no way should this be considered an endorsement of any form of tanning process, natural or otherwise).
  • May provide less of a barrier to UV radiation than an equivalent darker fabric.
  • Shows the dirt.
  • Becomes almost transparent when wet so that shorts border on the obscene and render the wearer open to derision.

Size Charts

Men's jerseys are available in "race cut" and "club cut". see below for a more detailed explanation of each.
All our garments are based on our jerseys and short patterns. Keep in mind that outer layer garments like vests and jackets are designed to be worn over other garments, so when in doubt order a size up. For Skinsuits and Tri-suits, we suggest ordering the same size as your short. Remember, for custom orders there are no exchanges with the supplier so please care that you are ordering the size you need.

N.B. Please be aware that the Ladies kit is working out to be quite small so if you are wavering between sizes may we suggest that the larger of the two sizes in question may still prove to be sleek and elegant in appearance. Ladies shorts in particular have leg grippers  which are on the tight side of comfortable whilst the bibs are short in the body so there should be no detriment to comfort by going up a size.

Item Size (Inches) XS S M L XL XXL XXXL

Only men's jerseys are available in "race" and "club" cut.  Use the "race cut" measurements for all jackets, vests and skinsuits. Since jackets and vests are typically worn over another item we suggest ordering a size up for the garments if you are between sizes.

Help!  Am I a Men's Race cut or Club cut?

Race Cut Club Cut
We designed our race cut jersey based on a European fit. It's a tailored design worn by only the fittest cyclists who are lean and mean. Think pro riders, elite category 1 and 2 riders and those super-fit skinny guys who love to go up mountains fast.  Just because you're a racer doesn't mean you should automatically order the race cut. We know lots of racers who order the club cut. Why? Because although they race almost every weekend, they still have an American build and the tight-fitting Euro race cut just won't do the job. For everybody else we offer the club cut. Mind you, our club cut is not a baggy potato-sack jersey. It's still a classic cycling jersey that fits the majority of our customers—even the racers who are not as slim as they might think.
