Anyone bought any of this, as my Mrs. is looking at it and was wondering what make the kit is, if any?
Cheers

Have a closer look on that. Price seems to be pretty good. It say's it's italian made clothing???

Also if you buy jersey & shorts you get free gift which can be armwarmers/legwarmers etc. plus if you put in this code - CTCZV1 you'll get a discount of 12%!!!

sonny73 · February 2011

Cheers, yeh good prices indeed but no mention of a brand though.

drewfromrisca · February 2011

I'm thinking I might take a punt on it, can always return it I suppose. I've tried googling it but not getting much joy.

sonny73 · February 2011

Yeh it's nice looking gear from the pics and cheers for the discount code mate

Cheers for the heads up just bought bibs/jersey/gilet and warmers for under £100 just hope it's good quality

cal_stewart · February 2011

castelli maybe

gwillis · February 2011

I was thinking more giordana but for the price it's not bad, only problem was It wouldn't allow me the armwarmers as a freebie so ended up buying them as having some chamois cream and 2 sets of leg warmers

Can't see them being Castelli at that price, look very nice though but no mention of a pad? You'll have to let us know how they are when you get them. Might have to get some myself if they're decent!

gwillis · February 2011

Will do and I cant see there not being a pad. Will update when it arrives.

drewfromrisca · February 2011

Ah screw it I'm taking a punt on it now. I'm seeing of it as an early "I've become a dad" present!!!

gwillis · February 2011

Go for it my son , Risca?

drewfromrisca · February 2011

Yea good old risca, what part of cwmbran? I used to play football for Coed Eva.

gwillis · February 2011

sort of between cwnbran and rogerstone if that majesty sense. loving the profile pic also big scooter fan also

drewfromrisca · February 2011

cheers mate, makes load of sense, think I know where you are. Grew up in Risca left 5 yrs ago. Will never go back, it's like a ghost town and littered with rubbish, dog 5h!t and broken glass all over the streets! Sad.

sonny73 · February 2011

If this is anyhting to go by there is no brand shown, looks decent quality though and nice styling: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=zipv ... m270.l1313

Yeh I thought the same, might take a punt on some of this too (via their actual site of course), does look nice.

gwillis · February 2011

Mine should be here tomorrow . I'll let you know what it's like when it arrives . Got to say it looks pretty good on the eBay site. Ive opted for medium given that's what I usually go for in assos so my only concern is the fit.

drewfromrisca · February 2011

I've just seen a thread on the amateur race section where MikeWW was showing his clubs new kit (Lichfield CC) and it's actually the zipvit stuff. I've asked him what quality is like so be interesting to find out but I can't see it being too shabby for a club kit (although saying that there is some shabby club kit about)

Just took a look at that thread, yeh looks like they have had their club name printed on there too (across the back and on the front right hand side). http://www.lichfieldccc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/clubkit.jpg
Nice kit: http://www.lichfieldccc.org.uk/?p=1036

Thanks for that link git to say it looks lovely, if it's ok I'm tempted to order a l/s jersey or possibly a spare pair of bibs . The colurs look better in the photos than on the zipvit site

Ha I just deleted that post, the links were not having it for me at all. But they seem to be good now??? Anyhow, yeh looks great IMO.

drewfromrisca · February 2011

My stuff arrived today, so far looks good although I haven't had chance to try it on. Chamois looks extra terrestial scientific!!!!! Not too impressed with no leg grippers on the shorts though. Although it does have a radio pocket for those team tactics

gwillis · February 2011

Mine arrived today also. I pretty pleased with it all given the price the kit is mad e by

http://www.giessegi.com/

The jersey is pretty light weight and is good quality and the shorts seem a good fit apart from as Drew mentioned no leg grippers. For those of you who like longer legs on your shorts these sit just above the knee and the pad is good although I haven't ridden withnthem on yet.

My only gripe is the sizing I'm a medium in assos jerseys and ordered a medium in this whilst it fits on the shoulders the jersey is a bit baggy in the chest /stomach area . As a result mine has be returned today by free post for a smaller size.

Zipvit were really helpful when I rang them , the lady I spoke to said they have sold loads of this kit over the weekend so the lurkers have been busy.

I'd give it a 9/10 on looks and a 7/10 for quality and fit.

I hope this helps guys

Oh and the gilet is pretty good
