Anyone here tried "OrNot" kit yet?

Looks interesting and I like the cut, just haven't pulled the trigger on any.

I've gotten tired of bargain shopping kit only to have it show up, be a weird cut, and have me all like "oh, that's why it was 50% off...". Just want to buy some quality stuff that will last a season or two, and fit a lanky dude.

At those prices, for me, not.

serious question: how many miles/year do you ride?

i have a lot of quality kit that is 5+ years old. unless you ride a crap ton of miles or are buying absolutely rubbish kit, it should undoubtedly last more than a season or two of recreational riding use.

stuff is quality - if you like the design you won't be disappointed. made in the USA if that sort of thing appeals to you.

It does. But it's a race cut and mid-bicep or longer sleeves I'm looking for.

I was going to try that "consumer direct" Italy company too... La Passione?

On track for 5-6,000mi this year.

My Castelli Velocissimo stuff is wearing thin and starting to fray after ~2,000mi.

I ordered an Ornot kit over the weekend - should be here soon.

Check out Eliel. Bought their kit earlier this year and I love it!

Assos. That's your answer.

I've had a jersey for the last couple of years. I don't wear it much but the quality is nice and it's held up well. Designed in San Francisco and made in Los Angeles if that matters to you. I see their kit a fair bit out on the road here.

Have one of their jerseys, arm warmers, and vest.
All well designed and made.
I put it in the "would recommend" category.

No experience with their shorts/bibs.

Also MUSA is are the Twin Six Standard Race Jerseys which have a racier cut than the standard jersey they sell and the arms are long and thin. They may be worth a look for you... I picked up a couple of them this year and am pretty happy so far and the quality looks to be pretty good.

I have the floral jersey, which is great and two pairs of bibs, which are also great. The socks are nice too. Would definitely recommend those items. Can't comment on the 'house' jerseys because I haven't tried them, but they make high quality stuff.

I also have one of their skinsuits, which I haven't used in a while.

I have some of their stuff. I prefer the fit of the "house" jerseys over the older styles. (I believe all of the most recent jerseys are the House variety.)

I'm on the fence with their bibs though. They are comfortable enough but in the version I have, the leg gripper material tends to roll up at the ends and doesn't lay flat. I think they may have recently revised them so hopefully they fixed that problem.

I also like their socks. Good length and they coordinate well with their other products.

the or not stuff is good. Nice materials and fit. lots of black colors, haha. I am having excellent luck with Isadore, especially the bibs and gloves. Im in love!

I have one of their jerseys. Graphics are nice - I'm reasonably sure their stuff may be manufactured by Voler, based on materials etc, which I'm fine with, I generally like and fit Voler stuff and Made in USA.

That being said, the Ornot jersey I got is the cyan Blue Jersey from their previous version, I just preferred the fit and fabric to the newer line. Wished I jumped on the old Blue Line design when I had the chance, but waited and they sold out and subsequently redesigned it.
