The Perfect Kit

Perfection…

Shorts that cling in all the right places, with a chamois that protects your vital assets. Jerseys that don’t feel like they’re riding up to make a break for freedom. Perfection is kit that fits you so well you almost forget you’re wearing it.

Howto achieve it

How you feel is far more important than how you look. Yes, some brands bring kudos by virtue of their label, but their clothing needs to be comfortable to ride in too.

Don’t spend a fortune on shorts that give you a wedgie. Try on clothes before you buy them – an online bargain becomes a waste of money if you can’t zip it up once it arrives.

A comfortable base layer is essential and not an area to scrimp on, while a decent rain jacket is a must. We’d caution against bargains when it comes to wet weather gear: for example, many cut-price jackets trap moisture inside them, leaving you feeling as if you’re wearing a bin bag.

It’s better to see your reflection and think ‘my outfit looks awful,’ than to be on trend but in agony.
