We were very pleased to supply custom cycling and triathlon kit to Racing 795 in South East Ireland. They are a growing but active club and we made them some sharp looking kit. racing 795 cycling & tri kit

We have been delighted to supply many of the leading triathlon clubs in Ireland in 2008 and we look forward to 2009, when we will be introducing some improvments to the fit of our tri suits to give a more contoured fit, especially on the legs and waist and several improvements to our fabrics in our cycling range.

Tri London is one of the UK’s leading clubs for top level triathletes and we are very proud to have supplied their kit for the last couple of years.jo carritt Their members include Jo Carritt who has just come first in the Wisconsin IM for non pro athletes – see her website at http://www.joannacarritt.co.uk/ – her blog is a masterpiece in understated suffering.

We supply all our clubs with exactly the same quality of custom kit that we supply the leading IM athletes – we will not compromise on quality. Best of luck to Tri London athletes in 2009 and best of luck to Jo in particular (as she organises their kit order!).

We are very pleased to have supplied some custom tri kit to “The Posties” who are a small team that compete in Ironman events round the world. When you are going to compete over those sorts of distances, then you have every right to be demanding of your kit and we made some adjusments for them to help get the kit exactly as they wanted it.

Here is what they had to say:

Charlie,

A few things were important to us:
1)      That the tri top and shorts were separates (if you’ve raced IM distance you’ll know why)
2)      That the top had pockets to keep food in
3)      That we would be visible from a distance
4)      That the kit would be thin enough to be comfortable in hot weather
5)      That the shorts would be comfortable for bikes of up to 6 hours (the posties concerned know who they are)
6)      That you could supply kit in different sizes and lengths as we all have odd preferences (including one of our team who wanted sleeves on their tri top…don’t ask)

7)      And , of course, that we’d actually look like a team (and you can see from the photos that we did). We raced twice as a team this year.  Once at Beaulieu in a middle distance warm up and once at IM Germany.

We looked great, even if this year we didn’t send anyone to Kona.  First Postie past the post was Graham in 10.04 (despite being at least 2 stone overweight and training for only 6 weeks which is basically very annoying); Adrian in 10.12; me in 10.54; my brother 10.57 (oh yes); Adam in 12.30 and Alex some time later via a number of the medical tents.

We were very pleased to provide custom tri shorts, tops and custom cycling jerseys for more than 600 athletes competing in the HSBC triathlon. We worked closely with HSBC to get their kit exactly as they wanted, lengthening the custom men’s tri tops and the leg of the custom tri shorts (we are always happy to change the cut of our kit like this for clients whenever it is feasible).

Here is what HSBC had to say about us:
Charlie,

It was a great weekend and the sun was actually shining all day!!

The kit went down really well and nearly everybody wore it during the race.
We had absolutely no complains and people are already wanting to buy more.
Great quality, the changes to the branding and sizing were perfect and it
looked fantastic on the day.
Kind regards,
Tanya
