Lightweight Wind Vest

When we started working on our vest we wanted it to be light weight, packable and form fitting.   Our lightweight windproof fabric is used only where you need it, the chest and shoulders.  The form fitting is achieved with the 4 way stretch mesh back.  You can expect this jacket to keep the wind out when you need it while maintaining an aero fit. It is the smallest packable custom vest we have come across.  You can easily pack it in a pocket and still have room for other essentials.  

We think this is the perfect vest for those chilly morning where you know in a few hours it is going to warm up.  It is also small enough that you can easily pack it into a pocket.  It includes 3 rear pockets and cam-lock zipper.

NOTE: This vest is race cut and will fit snug.  If you are undecided on sizing we suggest going up one size.

stairliftpennsylvania Ice Jersey

The Ice jersey is designed to be both lightweight & highly breathable.   It features 4 different fabrics that are sourced and used with strategic placement to make this our most comfortable Race Fit jersey.  The combination of fabrics optimize each ones characteristics to help this jersey be aero, lightweight, breathable and extremely comfortable.

When looking at other lightweight climbers jerseys it seemed there is 3 attributes that they were trying to achieve, 1.  Breathable, 2.  Lightweight, or 3.  Aero.  In our opinion they were good at nailing 2 of the 3 but never all.  We feel we have done just that.  At 120 grams it is light, the fit is aero but not restrictive and the mesh front and side panels make it very breathable.  Give our Ice jersey a try and we are confident you will love it.

This jersey is designed with a snug fit that will hug the body. To help with aerodynamics, we have used cool max fabric combined with polyester while still allowing for a comfortable feel. This jersey is perfect for hot weather and racing.

Tech Specs:

Sport Fit

If you can picture your favorite oversized t-shirt, you’re well on your way to knowing what a sport fit is. Sport fit describes a a fit that is loose-fitting and relaxed. Great for riding around town in a style that’s going to give you more than enough room to move around on or off the bike. If sport fit describes how you want your jersey to fit, you should order at least 1 size larger than the sizing chart recommends.

---

Pro Fit

If you’re comfortable in a slightly more tailored look, then the Pro fit is probably the fit you’re looking for. More fitted to the body than the Sport fit, the Pro fit is going to begin to give you some of the performance features of a higher-end jersey, but it’s still going to offer some room to breath. If pro fit describes how you want your jersey to fit, the size recommended by the sizing chart should provide the fit you prefer.

---

Race Fit

A "race fit" is very form fitting in order to offer you the benefit of aerodynamic riding and ofter muscular support. A race fit feels the tightest of the three cuts we classify. If you want your jersey to have a race fit, and you are on the low end of a size described by the size chart, you should consider ordering a size down.

stairliftpennsylvania Hors Category Century Compression Bib Short

Why Hors Century?  Here’s why.

When you spend four days in the saddle and over 500 miles are rolling under your wheel on the way from North Carolina to Washington DC, you have a lot of time to think.  I love riding, and I’ve done my fair share of it over many years.  And this particular ride was fantastic, but the saddle time sucked.  It didn’t suck because of the distance.  It sucked because of the chamois time.  Over ten hours in my bib shorts on some days, and frankly, it hurt.  Being in the cycling gear industry, I had the best bibs at my disposal to use for this ride.   But what I noticed was that even with the “best” bibs on the market, as the hours passed, the shorts relaxed and loosened.  And you know what happens next.  Yep, the chamois started moving around down there.  Which started chaffing.  Oh, and it was hot, too from the start, which meant the chamois stayed moist from the first hour on.  A wayward and wet chamois do not the best riding conditions make.  I think Shakespeare said that.  

Anyway, with miles and time to think through this problem, I formulated a plan.  With over 140 miles to cover in a single day, I decided to change into new bibs at every rest stop.  I changed them three times that day, and it worked like a charm.  Goodbye loose bibs, hello saddle comfort.  But three wardrobe changes?  There had to be a better solution.  And there was.  When I came back from that epic ride, I started working on developing a bib that wouldn’t lose its shape even after long efforts.  And thus, the Century Bib Short was born.  Here’s how I did it.  By focusing on every panel on the bib short, I was able to fine tune its function with cut and specific materials to address the loosening I experienced with other bibs.  Then, I sourced a high-performance chamois that is perforated and can dissipate that pesky moisture more effectively.   Working closely with our Classic designers, we tightened up the front of the bib short with a combination of five new materials – two of them compression fabrics, changed the cut of the pattern and changed the straps.  My reasoning here was to make sure there was no movement in the short so that everything from gripper to upper stays firmly in place.  It’s not enough to just make the short tight.  It must be perfectly cut and patterned to conform to the rider’s body while in the riding position.  And yes, we mean riding position (hint – if your bib is super-comfy standing up, your chamois is going to move when you bend over into riding position, and you’ll be as miserable as me at my halfway to DC point).  The next thing we addressed was the chamois.  After countless samples and testing, we found the holy grail.  The Dolomiti pad we selected for our Century bibs uses two different foam densities with 3mm and 8mm holes.  These holes significantly increase the passage of air and moisture, allowing it to dry in less time than the traditional chamois.  And, did we mention it feels pretty incredible?   In case we didn’t, it feels pretty incredible.  So, after four uncomfortable days of thinking about it and eleven months of product development and testing, I feel that we have perfected the product we set out to create.  We’re fairly confident that given a chance, the Classic Hors Category Century Bib Short will become your go-to.  How do we know?  Because we ride, too.

How does it fit?  Snug.  Every part of this bib short is designed to fit correctly and correctly means snug.

Bottom Sizing Chart

Features:

• Lightweight and Breath-ability
  The made in Italy material is lightweight with a focus on breath-ability and compression.  We use 5 different materials in the search for the perfect combinations.

• Chamois
  We proudly use the Dolomiti Stelvio Gel chamois which is a staple in many high end Italian brands.  Made in Italy with high density foam including multi layered and multi thickness foam with soft fabric for extreme comfort. The combination of the foam and fabric provide optimal moisture transfer, short dry time and absorption. Antibacterial resistance is achieved through the silver Ion infused fabric. Also, equipped with a 3D anatomic design.

• Italian Materials
  Italian materials strategically picked to optimize performance for each specific panel.

• Leg Bands
  Silicon lay flat leg bands that are asymmetrical to help achieve maximum performance helping the bib shorts to stay in place and not ride up even with warmers on.

• Fully Dyed Material                                                                                                                                                                                                                              The fully dyed material insures that the bib shorts stay a rich dark color over the course of their life.
