The club has switched to Champion System as the kit supplier for this year (from Endura previously) and I was wondering if anyone had any advice with regards to sizing and which bits of kit to order?

As opposed to a sizing guide where they give body measurements.. they have a sizing guide where they provide the measurements of the clothing itself :roll:

and not to mention the confusing list of product names.

    Is that so bad? Just measure the clothes that fit you most closely and order the new kit that matches. If I didn't detest cuddly toy meerkats with a vengence I'd say 'simples' but then I'd have to shoot myself! :lol:

    We use champion system as well , the kit is good quality , I have used there shorts on a century ride and they were fine, the lightweight stuff is as named summer light , the 'winter' /lined kit is good quality and does what it's meant to.

    There have been no complaints from anyone about it, washes well and so far (about a year or so) still going strong.

    Sizing wise I did the same as Rolf F and it's been fine.

    Yes, if at all possible order some of the old Endura kit! I'm not a fan of the Champ Sys stuff, pads aren't very comfortable, the sizing/fit isn't great for me and the materials seem to be low quality.

    This is the advantage of being a member of two clubs; one has stuck with Endura which is nice since I am a big fan of their Pro Bib shorts.

    ^^^this. The length of the jerseys seems shorter than standard which is annoying when you've got a long-ish torso like me. The quality wasn't great either.
