Boards Winter Kit Thread

bcmf · 22-08-2014 4:33pm #1

Right, got clearance from Dav to start this and I have spoken to John @ Lucca about design.
There will be all sorts of gear to choose from.
I have asked for a design based almost exactly on the summer kit for the Long sleeve jersey, Jacket and Gilet.
I have asked for a design for full bib tights and 3/4 bibs.
There will also be a MTB jersey as requested.

John @ Lucca has informed me that Verge have developed their own Gabba and that are fully printable and seem to be very well priced - I have copied this from my email.
'The no sleeve version of the gabba which we call the “defender” will be €98 the s/s will be €123 and the l/s will be €135, pretty good value for what promises to be a great bit of kit

We will also have a full range of arm knee and leg warmers to compliment the defender but I don’t have price for them yet'
So there will be a design done for that.

For the Gilet we will have 2 choices.
The warsaw vest is more like a thermal jacket minus the sleeves where as the entropa is more a “standard” Gillet”

There is no time frame in place yet but basing on a 6 week turnaround from Lucca/Verge I was thinking of closing at the end of Sept/very early Oct for delivery in mid November.

They are expanding their range on Sept 1st to include a Triumph range but we may just stick with the ELITE range but we can discuss this closer to the deadline when we see prices etc.

NOW THE IMPORTANT BIT:
Dav and I have discussed this.
If payment hasnt been recieved into BOARDS A/C by the close of business on deadline day your order will be deleted.
AGAIN NO TIMEFRAME IS IN PLACE YET!

Discuss.......

Sounds good, will most likely go for the full L/S kit [Medium] plus the thermal gilet and will consider the MTB jersey. Did they say when they'd get back with the designs?

kensutz · 27-08-2014 10:34pm

I'm in

bcmf · 27-08-2014 10:58pm

Don't commit till you see the prices

Seriously though I kinda expect a first draft of the design in a few days.

Shouldn't you be busy with a certain ice bucket challenge or are you a pansy like Raam?

bcmf · 27-08-2014 11:07pm

You fooker. Did you nominate me?
If Raam has decided that dodgy ing it is 'Euro' then it's good enough for me.

rizzodun · 27-08-2014 11:36pm

Whoop, delighted about the MTB jersey!

Robxxx7 · 28-08-2014 7:54am

What is the method of payment ? Bank Transfer into Boards A/C ? If Yes, is this the only method ?

Cyclists pouring buckets of water over themselves...sounds perilously like Triathlon.

Lodging money into Boards account with your boards username as the reference is the only way to pay.

Orion · 28-08-2014 1:12pm

Can I drop into boards HQ and pay with HobNobs?

I don't even want to know what 'HobNobs' is code for.

ezra_ · 28-08-2014 2:45pm

I'd be up for some of this.
Subject to prices, colours, fitness, house price movements and there being enough pink stripes.

Bloggsie · 28-08-2014 4:52pm

any chance the new design can be different, akin to the kit in Dodgeball( I cant post any photo's yet) the leather one not the yellow one!

its good to be different!

I dont think people will be shouting Boardsie at anyone wearing one anymore.

(its a long boring afternoon in here & my warped sense of humour is in overdrive)

bcmf · 28-08-2014 6:59pm

Yeah the new design will be different. Different as in exactly the same.

MugMugs · 31-08-2014 1:41pm

Definitely game for the MTB jersey. Posting this merely to follow the thread and keep an eye out for it.

rollingscone · 31-08-2014 1:50pm

I've decided to resist the giddy new job urge to buy new kit and wait for this instead.

Defo tempted by the Gabba (esque?)

You know it's right!
The Defender (Gabba) jacket /Jersey is definitely an interesting development.

zindicato · 31-08-2014 7:12pm

count me in on this one

godtabh · 02-09-2014 8:28pm

Any update on design (with the new gear) or photos of the new gear.

Do you have access to my bloody email or something......:pac:

Yeah I got designs today but I didnt like one of them (my fault not theirs) so its gone back for a tweek.
I also have a picture of the Defender jacket (Verge version of the Gabba) in non boards colours.

If I was you I'd delete those dodgy photos before they are leaked

bcmf · 03-09-2014 9:56am

Ok. I have the design and have sent it onto Dav for OK'king.
Basically all long sleeve versions of jackets and jerseys will be off the same design. Myself or marcofan will go into the different styles/models of jackets/jerseys in a day or two along with prices.

Beasty · 03-09-2014 10:27am

Do you want us to put a poll up to gauge interest (without commitment) in various options?

I think we are ok but (and I need to confirm) but I don't think min order is applicable. But if it changes and when the mocks get posted and the different styles are explained then we can take it from there.

marcofan · 03-09-2014 12:15pm

no min order lads so feel free to order without worrying that an item will be cancelled due to it not making a minimum quantity

Oryx · 04-09-2014 4:49pm

This gabbaesque jacket. Will it have the same water and windproofing?

marcofan · 04-09-2014 5:03pm

i am told its the same material as castelli use but with the added benefit that it can be fully subliminated for printing. its so new i wont have my own samples until the 19th to test in our lovely weather

bcmf · 04-09-2014 5:28pm

subliminated - nice word

Ok I got these details this morning about The Defender (Gabba) Jersey/jacket

4way stretch fabric

Wind and Waterproof

Tight Aero Fit

High Collar with soft inner lining

Full separating zipper

Reflective detail for safety

Long back fabric (extra material below pockets ) to help keep you dry.
(I presume this is a tail but will confirm when samples are in hand.)

godtabh · 09-09-2014 10:43am

Hot 100% set in stone but should give a good idea

bcmf · 09-09-2014 10:52am

Thanks godtabh.
Basically all long sleeve versions will be as per the L/S in the design above.
All sleeveless as per design.
The full tights will be as per 3/4's but with the lower leg just plain black.
I will post prices as soon as they are confirmed
as well as MTB Jersey design.

Garzard · 09-09-2014 8:58pm

Just seeing from the picture, are SS Jerseys & Bib Shorts also part of the order, for want of a better word?

I reckon the designer just added this to the folder he has
why? is their a desire for shorts and ss jersey?
