    I've been rummaging around for custom cycling gear for the club and I've received responses. I'm hoping that some of you guys have worn some of the gear by the companies and can give me feedback, even if it's by PM. I know about Carvalho as our current jersey is by them as is the boards gear but it would be nice if I could get comparisons. Here's the companies I've received responses from: Atac Sportswear (CA), Owayo (GB), Velotec (IE), Diem (BG), Primal (US), Champion System (GB), Spin11 (IE), Inverse (GB), Carvalho (PT), Robbins Sportswear (US).
    Thanks in advance.

    The Orwell stuff is Spin11, nice material and fit, maybe a little long. Length aside it's probably the best fitting jersey I own.

    The new Chain Gang CC kit is by Giordana (via MyTeamGiordana in the UK).

    Sizing is race (tight) fit so would say go one size up on the garments over the size you'd normally take to get a 'comfort' fit.

    As for quality I couldn't fault it and to deal with they're very good.

    West Clare CC use Vermarc sports directly from Belgium. Excellent quality fabric that is very comfortable and wears well.

    I hadn't thought of them, I have quickstep shorts and they're hands down my most comfortable. Will email now.
