Are you satisfied with your Club's cycling kit?

If so, I would love to know.

There are plenty of suppliers of kit to clubs but the only way to judge on the quality and performance of clothing is to ask the wearers.

I am currently searching potential suppliers for the Beacon RCC, hence the question.

    Endura - good kit, but don't get me started on the service. Add at least three weeks to any date they give you...and don't believe anything they tell you, no matter how genuine it sounds...

    From what I've heard around. Pretty much every kit manufacturer is the same on deadlines.

    Very happy with my MTB club's jerseys. Endura stuff. Fits well and wears very well.
    I have nothing more to say on the matter.

    I found Owayo to provide fantastic service. I got a one-off design done by them and they were great :D

    Our club uses these guys http://www.kalaswear.com/ the kit is nice, sizing is pretty standard and it seems a reasonably good quality.

    Not sure of any delivery/admin problems as I don't really deal with the kit, just wear it.

    Ours uses Giordana, not bad at all, the jersey is like any pro team jersey you buy but the shorts are very good. As is the skinsuit.

    We use champ-sys.
    The quality of the kit is excellent and we got a really good design.
    However we had a significant problem in communication this year when we were ordering some more.

    They decided not to answer their phones and stubbornly refused to answer e-mails, greatly prolonging the transaction. May think twice next year.

    Apart from the communication though the kit itself is excellent!

    I feel it, when I sorrow most;
    'Tis better to have loved and lost;
    Than never to have loved at all."

    am I missing something here - I thought Cofidis was a finance company, not a clothing manufacturer.....?

    Here's their website:

    they don't call themselves Cofidis anymore, but the logo is still on all of their kit.
