Originally posted by abake Manatees, can we talk about custom cycling clothing for teams, clubs, etc.? I'd love to get your opinion on brands you like and brands that you do not like. Background - - Our local cycling club has been using Pactimo for several years for custom clothing. It's time for a change. Lack of customer support, inconsistent quality of materials and more importantly, sizing that varies wildly. I've been burned too many times by Pactimo and have been given the green light to look into other brands. So far I've contacted: Voler Borah Primal Of these, Primal has been the most responsive and seems eager to get our club's business. The rep is sending me an assortment of sample clothing for our members to try on. I do have a couple of Primal jerseys and like the way they fit, so I'm already favorably impressed with them. Voler and Borah seem interested but won't send sample clothing. This is probably a deal breaker. A club member sent me a link to a company I've not heard of: Saffetti Smart Wear. She has a couple of jerseys and likes them. I can't find a lot of reviews on this company. Anyone heard of it? So...fire away Manatees! Do you have a favorite brand of custom clothing? Do you have a brand you would stay away from? Thanks for any input!!!!

My bike club also uses Pactimo and has also been looking at other vendors. Major fit issues with the recent orders.

Have you tried Louis Garneau https://custom.garneau.com/?  I'm not on the committee for this but I know they sent a fit kit.

Kevin's bike college bike club just did a Primal order and he likes it a lot. I have a several primal jerseys and I like them a lot.

Hincapie does a nice job but they are pretty high end and I expect the pricing could be an issue.

I've been using Zoot cycling shorts for a bit and really like them. I know they do custom team kits, but I have no experience with that, so can't speak to price or responsiveness. I have a couple of Primal jersey that I like, so imagine their kits are pretty good too.

I'll take a look at Zoot -- have a friend who wears that brand and really liks it
I've worn Zoot for years, They are reasonably comfortable and hold up well. I still have my first pair of Zoot tri shorts. I wear them on the trainer and the are still in good condition. I think I've had them for 15 years.

FIFTEEN YEARS?!

The Graphics have been worn out for a long time. I wore them my first couple of races and then just for training. I do wash them, in case that is a question. I've never worn bib shorts. but I have never had an issue with the chamiois with Zoot or Castelli. The only shorts I ever wore and hated were Pearl Izumi. They were like wearing a diaper.
I have bike shorts that I have a had for years as well. I think because I took so many years OFF from biking in the past decade is why they have lasted! Our Tri Club is ordering kits from Varlo (?) this year. They are pricey but I guess they are suppose to be really nice.

I have a couple of Orca tri shorts that have to be 10+ years. I only recently designated them to only trainer shorts.




I laughed out loud. When your bike shooters become 'see through' is when I designate them trainer only!

I am waiting to sign up. I have a two week murder trial that is going to be scheduled and that will dictate when I get to have fun. We have a final pre-trial scheduled on Feb 13 and I should know then.

There are no words to describe the murder of a child, especially by a parent. Does Michigan still recognize voluntary intoxication as a defense?

Voluntary intoxication is not a defense. She used after the homicide. She also explored no guilty by reason of insanity and the state psychologist and her expert both determined she was faking. From her jail calls, she thought she would be able to fake insanity, go to a psychiatric hospital for a couple of years, and then become famous.. Really warped.

Damn. She is another Casey Anthony. Hopefully her jury won't be dummies like the Anthony jury.

Jim and I were going to ride where Chris's Piggys Revenge ride will be next week. But it poured rain last night and that would mess up the trails even more. They have worked really hard to get hurricane damage fixed and ready for the ride. Back to the trail for us today.Tomorrow we start our trek back home.

I am right there with you! I think my kids recognize food network chefs as much as other celebrities! My 5-year old loves Beat Bobby Flay. LOL!! I don't watch the kids baking championship but all the others I just love!
