What kit are you wearing
Moderators: robbosmans, Moderator Team
Capo is what my team used to use, and I thought the stuff for terribly. The legs would blow out and lose compression, the jerseys were made to fit a beer gut, and the chamois was inferior. Glad we switched to cuore for this season.

Vicelord- Do you ride for Bicycle Haus?
As for Swiftwick socks they just have good compression, fit well, no seams, and they stay tight after a ton of use. Not too pricey either.

those are great, eh? I just bought a pair of rapha socks to compare them to, but the Sockeloen socks just feel better.

Just switched teams and kits from Castelli to Squadra. Our team had Squadra 3 or 4 years ago and I really didn't like the fit or materials, but apparently they changed it the following year and the new stuff is fantastic. My Castelli stuff from last year ended up being awful. The seams or the arm warmers split, putting bars in the pockets of the climber's jerseys stretched them out an absurd amount, and it seems as if the cut was more club fit and less race fit. The Castelli aero race bibs are still really good as is the long sleeve fleece jersey (probably my favorite piece of kit ever purchased).
Socks I am now a big fan of Swiftwick. The Athletic socks are flashy, but quality isn't the best.
Agreed on the climber's jersey (see post above), after the nice tight fit of the shorts I was utterly shocked at how loose the fit of the jersey was. Fwiw, Capo M seems to fit me nice and tight w/out saggy pockets.
I'm wearing some custom Virklon kit in my small business's colours. I have 2 jerseys, 2 bibs, a skin suit/tri suit, arm warmers and a jacket. Very good stuff for dirty cheap prices.

Can you be a bit more specific? One of my old team's kit was Vermarc, and it was nice. Are some of their more recent lines better than others?
My team kit last year was Vermarc - rate it highly for everything short of their bibs being able to hold colour. Otherwise very impressed.
And shame about The Athletic socks. Was considering getting some.
Getting this soon, bibs too probably.
