New Club Gear

not sane · 13-10-2011 7:53am #1

Just started a new club and need new cycling clothing. Just looking for a bit of advice regarding suppliers etc and experience's.

our club uses santini (intech gel pads in this years shorts for 80 euro lovely)

manwithaplan · 13-10-2011 9:30am

Our club kit is Nalini. The shorts are grand despite the pad looking worryingly like a sanitary towel. €100 gets you bibs, a fleece-lined L/S jersey and a S/S jersey.

These guys are based up in Tyrone.
Have seen some of the gear they’ve done for local clubs and they’re very good.
They’re graphic designers by trade, so you can get pretty unique designs for your club

Nalini is ok although not a fan TBH
Santini gear is just beautiful but a bit dear
Spiuk I like but no-one else in the club seemed to
Impsport awful
Spin gear I liked (had some SKT gear) but sizing variable
Cervahlo is ok but the sizing is off the wall

It's not much better than OK but I'm easily enough pleased and am as tight as a camel's proverbial.

Thats the best description of the chamois I've seen

The jerseys are fine though, and the shorts ok for shorter spins. Did 200k on them 3 weeks ago and they were next to useless after a few hours.

Velotec in Galway are fairly decent with Cycling gear, they supply for our local club and quality seems decent.

Watt Custom (based in Offaly AFAIK) are very good.

Size is all over the place. My L is way bigger than my XL. All the sizes appear to be very long and loose. The zips are horrible and cheap.
Most annoying, the jersey strays left when I am cycling - that is if you imagine that the zip is supposed to disect my torse down the middle, after a few minutes pedaling it zeers over to the left - far enough that it annoys me.

I will say, that their windproof gilets are very very good - the best one I have. Just that jerseys are very poor IMHO.

Esroh · 13-10-2011 5:10pm

In my time cycling the club has used
Nalini
Santini
Champion Systems

I have 2 pairs of shorts from each.Overall I would chose the Santini.
After 150km of a 160km sportive I know that their shorts are the ones where I can concentrate on completing the last 10km not on trying to find the most comfortable position on the saddle

kincsem · 13-10-2011 5:14pm

I'm not in a club but almost all my cycling jerseys and bib shorts are Santini.

+1.

aidan is very good to deal with and prices are good. Shorts are very comfortable (did the ring of kerry with no problems

). The ladies stuff is comfortable aswell apparently.

pgd-pgd · 13-10-2011 6:29pm

Heres one I came across the other day for Nalini .

moggs1972 · 13-10-2011 7:17pm

spin11 jersey sizes are all over the place, im medium but even the small is too baggy n long.

santini shorts are brill, dead comfy, jerseys can be very small and tight.

jiffybag · 13-10-2011 10:30pm

Bio Racer from these guys , www.onimpex.co.uk

recedite · 13-10-2011 10:41pm

Can I join your new club? I'll buy Assos shorts for both of us.

+1 for Velotec, they did a great job with our gear, reasonable prices too.

WakeyTyke · 19-10-2011 7:40pm

The Belgian company Vermarc Sport, who supply the kit for Quickstep, Omega Pharma-Lotto and AG2R-Le Mondiale, has been our club supplier for years and their quality is excellent and the garments last for years.

CramCycle · 19-10-2011 11:03pm

+1 again for Watt Custom, my club got them and have to say the quality is top notch, we used to have Spin11 but there is no comparison.

If you PM username Watt, he is one of the guys who runs Watt Customs, can only speak for there jerseys although I have heard good things from the Superintendent in Pierce St. about the shorts as he took a pair off Watt when I was getting samples.

These guys are in the Czech Republic. Far and away the best quality custom shorts I have ever had. Really high quality pad. The shorts I got were from the Muscat Cycling Club in Oman.

capnsantini · 20-10-2011 8:41am

Another +1 for Watt. We switched to them last year. Shorts are excellent!

I have been using a pair of ccn bib shorts for about 8mts now and have had no problems with size or comfort the guy Rene gave me a sizing kit to try on to get the best fit he seams very professional and good to deal with

We started a club this year, we used watt custom, very good but might take a week extra on delivery! Quality is excellent though! Check out out kit, we designed the layout! Www. Overthehillcc.com

Hi Not Sane,

I am the distributor in Ireland for the Italian brand PISSEI url]www.pissei.com[/url who have been producing custom kit for cycling clubs for over 30 years in their factory in Tuscany. We produce a very high end well designed product and have a full range of samples for your members to try on so that they don't have to rely on sizing charts. I have sent you a PM with my mobile number and I would be delighted to chat to you further. Here's my facebook page.

Kind regards,

bertiecont · 26-01-2012 12:43pm

our club used velorevolution last year and found them excellent - they also have a new line of high performance gear this year.

we are ordering from them again this year with our order being placed in the next few weeks.

there were a great help with design etc.

aidan is still racing at A1 level so knows what is needed regarding performance & comfort - http://www.facebook.com/velorevolution

iregk · 26-01-2012 1:13pm

Our club uses Santini and gotta be honest, it's beautiful...

Murph100 · 26-01-2012 2:09pm

We've switched to Sportful and its fantastic, got the full Saxo Bank spec. Shorts are better than my stoooooopid expensive Assos.
