Just a reminder that I will be placing the order with Owayo shortly. Please check my below email to see if there are any items you’d like to buy, to carry you through to next winter! Note that skinsuits are now available in Club colours.
Orders by 16 February please.
We also have some stock from last year as follows, and they are up for grabs on a first come/first served basis:
Gilets in Medium, Large and Extra Large – £38.81
Short sleeved jerseys: Small – £32.08. Large – £32.08. Extra Large – £35.64
One pair of Bib Shorts, Medium – £48.40
JERSEYS
The design of the jersey is shown above.
They are available with short or long sleeves in the sizes below. They are a tight racing fit. Please allow an extra size for a more casual fit (or to accommodate a beer belly!). Zips will be 3/4 concealed on the short sleeved and full length concealed on the long sleeved.
The following is a recommendation from owayo:
“You can determine your size via chest circumference. Simply measure your chest circumference and find the best corresponding fit in our chart. The chest circumference is the maximum horizontal circumference at normal breathing. The tape measure should go around the shoulder blades, chest and under the arm-pits.” (See guide attached)
Body measurements :
| owayo size | S | M | L | XL | XXL |
| chest-size – Inches | 32.3-35.4” | 35.4-38.6” | 38.6-41.7” | 41.7-44.9” | 44.9-46.5” |
| chest-size CM | 82-90 | 90-98 | 98-106 | 106-114 | 114-118 |
Materials:
R-Tex – Light breathable summer weight
RW-Tex – Fleecy backed winter weight but not that thick.
Approximate prices are: Short Sleeved £38.00, Long Sleeved £41.00. For the R-Tex fabric add £8.00
SHORTS, 3/4 LENGTH AND FULL TIGHTS
These are really good quality shorts with comfy padding, especially designed to go with the Jersey (see attachment). Bib shorts are shown but they are available without the braces as ordinary shorts and as below knee length or full length tights.
The suppliers say this with regards to taking measurements. “The hip, or ‘seat’, circumference is the primary basis of measurement for cycling shorts. The widest point in this area should be used for measurement; hips and rear. You should make measurement without baggy clothes and being sure not to pull too tightly on tape measure.” (See guide attached)
They don’t mention leg lengths for the tights. If I get requests for these I will check, so give your inside leg measurement for full length and 3/4 length tights.
Sizes are as follows.
Body measurements :
| owayo size | S | M | L | XL | XXL |
| seat circum. – Inches | 35-39” | 39-42” | 42-45” | 45-48” | 48-51” |
| seat circum. – CM | 90-98 | 98-106 | 106-114 | 114-122 | 122-130 |
Approximate prices are: £46.00 for Shorts, £52.00 for 3/4 length, £54.00 for full length, Bib or standard are the same price. The tights are available with or without insert so please specify your preference when ordering.
WIND JACKETS AND GILETS
These are to the same design as the jerseys (see attachment) and are made of a thin polyester called G-Tex (similar to Gamex) which the suppliers say is:
- windproof, water-resistant, and breathable – comfortable fit and feel
- limber (? their word, not mine) and soft to touch
- absolute minimal mass!
- very light, yet durable – easy to maintain
The Gilets have a mesh back
Sizes are S to XXL using the same chest measurements as the Jerseys.
Approximate prices are: £50.00 for the Jacket and £42.00 for the Gilet.
SKIN SUITS
Sizing
Determine what size you need via your chest and seat circumference measurements. (See guide attached). The chest circumference is the widest part of the chest at normal breathing in the standing position. The tape measure should run over the shoulder blades, under the arm pits, and over the chest.
Measure circumference of hips and rear. The widest point in this area should be used for measurement. You should make measurement without baggy clothes and being sure not to pull too tightly on the tape measure. Compare the measurements to the below table to determine your size.
