We couldn’t resist. It had to happen. It has happened. We’ve released our own version of the Australia short sleeve jersey.

It’s cheap, but that’s because we put our name on it. But don’t be fooled, this item is a quality garment. It’s not one of those crummy Chinese made ones you see on eBay. We are proud of the final version of it. And we hope you would be proud to wear it.If you have visions of Cadel Evans riding away from the bunch to take the world road championships, perhaps this jersey will match that dream…

Features:

• Full length, hidden zip
• 3 rear pockets
• Micro moisture management fabric
• Lightweight, ideal for summer
• Sublimated print – designed to last
• At under fifty bucks, it’s approx one third of the price of Santini or Castelli but retaining similar style, fabric & fit

Australia Jersey

Our answer, of course, was that [...]]]>

We recently received a request from a customer who is seeking some plain white musette bag (cycling slang for feed bag, often incorrectly spelt mussette) for her cycling club. She is planning to print the club logo on the 50 bags herself, and distribute the finished product amongst the riders.

Our answer, of course, was that we would be happy to supply her club with plain white musette bags. And while we could have them printed for her too, that is not our primary strength (well, not yet anyway).

Moral of the story? If you’re after something that you think we might be able to produce, why not ask? You just never know your luck…

On these chilly mornings there is no excuse to not get out there and enjoy your riding!

White & Black Cycling Beanie

Sure it’s tough sometimes but we’re doing our best by offering you some great protection to keep you nice and warm! These winter cycling beanies feature a wind protective band to ensure your ears don’t feel like snapping off, combined with a fleecy lined fabric (known as Super Roubaix) top to keep the heat from escaping.

Fits nicely under a helmet, your mates are sure to be jealous when you prance around the coffee shop in toasty warmth. Use the drawstring to convert the beanie into a neck-warmer and you realise you’ve got yourself a handy winter item that fits easily in your back pocket when the temperature rises.

For those of you in areas like Europe where wearing a helmet is not the norm, these are ideal. Here in Australia you have to wear helmet but that’s not a problem, the beanie will fit under your helmet to ensure you are warm and safe! so there’s no excuses, our beanies are priced to ensure they are affordable, they’re designed to ensure they’re practical and comfortable.

Black Cycling Beanie

Available in both black & white or black & black…

When we developed our mesh base [...]]]>

An interesting discussion has developed on the CyclingNews.com “gear” (no, not doping) forum. The thread is entitled “Cooler with or without base layer?“. Essentially it questions manufacturers claims that wearing an undershirt will make you cooler in hot conditions than if you weren’t wearing one. And a fair question too.

When we developed our mesh base layer, we designed it to be as lightweight and with the best cooling mechanism possible. We looked at other base layers such as those made by Castelli, Vermarc and Craft and we feel we could make something that was just a touch lighter and of course better on the hip pocket :)

Essentially the idea on the design is described briefly but succinctly by forum user “justme“. He/she says:

In a hot humid climate too much water can be present on the body which can actually make the core temperature rise to try and burn it off. In some cases the moisture in the air can condense on your body and add even more to the water. In a case like this wicking it away from the skin is the best.

Spot on!

Some people mistakenly confuse these lightweight mesh base layers as an item that will soak the sweat up. This is not true. It is not the design of the base layer and it would not work if it was. One thing you don’t want when climbing a tough mountain is a sponge under your jersey, carrying all of the sweat you’ve produced! Could you imagine?

Our base layers have been popular and we are proud of them, but how can they be improved? What are you looking for in a base layer? Your comments below are welcome.
