Subject: RE: Custom Race Kit, Suggestions? I've worked with Champion Systems and I really like them. They were really easy to work with and had great customer service as far as helping us apply a design to many different products. They also have a very good selection of run, bike, swim, tri, and general (hats, shirts, visors, etc) apparel in a variety of quality. Their cheap stuff is low quality, and their high end stuff is pretty good quality. About what you expect for what you pay IMHO. One thing of note though is I'm not a fan of their tri products. I like the pad in their tri shorts, but they don't fit well on me. Maybe just my body type which I wouldn't say is "normal." Their shorts tend to ride low on me and I have to constantly pull them up. Thier bike shorts are fine though. Thier tri tops also tend to catch a lot of wind when on the bike. It wasn't just me either. Their tri suits seemed to work better for others though. Also, the way they put pockets on their tri tops and their tri suits is pretty silly. Basically unusable, but I'm sure it's something they can fix in the future. I do like their cycling stuff though. The Edge line is pretty good quality and their skin suits (<-----------pictured to the left)fit me well. The standard chamios pad does a pretty good job, but the $10 upgrade for the endurance pad is nice. Their bib shorts seemed to have shorter straps than normal though. I have a long torso and I couldn't get the straps over my shoulders without feeling like I may rip them. Others didn't seem to have a problem though. Edited by Jason N 2014-01-13 6:07 PM
