Inexpensive Jerseys and Shorts

[ridethecliche]

I've bought the stuff from hammer nutrition in a pinch.
The voler and bergamo stuff they have is good.... Just free adverts for them

I have a few pairs of the unpadded wool shorts. Will be ordering the knickers and a jersey soon. There's a sale 15% off sale on the jerseys until the end of the month.

I bought some voler stuff when they went on sale last year and am pretty happy. Sportful is also pretty good for the price.

Velocio.

Just kidding.

Although I did get a bunch of their stuff at 50% off and it is by far the best stuff I've worn

I bought it years ago (mid 90's) when it was all I could find and I thought wool was the only way. We used to buy it a size bigger and shrink to fit like levis. I'd personally never buy it again as I prefer my wool these days to be a blend for various reasons. Durability and fit are two of them. Moths always seemed to find the Kucharik stuff but I still wore it.

I'm now reformed and wear mainly synthetic cycling clothing. It's just too wet here for my taste and I don't have any interest in wool in the summer months. Living in Colorado it might suit you better. I always like the long sleeve jerseys the best.

Do you develop your own film and roast your own coffee too?

Just kidding. I can't imagine straight wool Kuchariks sans chamois.

+3.

I have three pairs of their bibs now; the standard $40 one, the Plus model, and the Ultimate model. They are all very comfortable, though I am not sure I felt any difference going to the Ultimate. As an added bonus for me, they offer the Plus and Ultimate models in a short inseam version which I much prefer (I hate bibs that come right down to my kneecap).

We will see how long they last, but I haven't had great luck with durability from other brands either (Rapha, Castelli, Giordana).

I came to cycling with touring goals so I'm a little old-fashioned with wool shorts and birks for summer overnighters. I do shoot with film sims on a digital fuji and pack a camping pourover setup

I've found pads to compress the nether nerves. Sometimes I'll wear thin cycling liner shorts for all day rides.

If you call Kucharik, you may be able to get a better deal than online.

Not bad stuff.

Voler overstock and on sale has good deals. Also their reps used to come to cross races and sold blems and samples for cheap as.

AeroTech Designs shorts have been great for me...

been buying the men's Pro model for years...well-made, still reasonably priced (used to be $39.99).
