New 2011 Ride 24/7 Kit Now On Order ! ! ! !

This is the finalised version of the Ride 24/7 Road Team Kit for 2011 !


We should have the kit with us in several weeks time, and will be available to purchase immediately.

The kit for this year has a few alterations, to begin with it has a full zip on the short sleeve jersey, we also have the addition of red 'bands' around the arms and legs and above and below the main middle piece to the garment. There is also the white 'Santini Band' around the bottom of the shorts as this short is the top of the range short produced by Santini as it includes the best chamois (the N.A.T pad) which is new for 2011. Finally just a small alteration to the bib shorts in that it has 'mesh' bibs instead of solid black ones so they will be more breathable and will add to the comfort.

Last year we only had Short Sleeve Jerseys and Bib shorts available but as for this year there will be Wind stopper Gilets and Short Sleeve Skin Suits available as well.


If it's as popular as previous kits we have had produced then we expect them to run out quickly. We have many kits reserved for Team Riders and customers so if you want to ensure you get a kit that is your size then let us know by email and we will put your name down next to your required size.


Will keep you updated on it's arrival.


Thanks,
Ride 24/7
