Hey Everyone! Time to get your hands on our new kit…Deadline is the 30th of October!!!
What’s on offer this year?
Pro Jersey: Our race cut jersey, which is slightly different than last year’s model. Mesh sides for men, and lycra sides for women. And of course, a YKK zipper
Pro bibs: Similar to last year’s model, but with a new and improved BRT GEL PAD chamois, and ceramic crotch protection to prevent chaffing.
Long Sleeve Jersey: Same design as the short sleeve race jersey, but with a thermal material, which is perfect for the Fall & Spring
Accessories such as leg warmers, arm warmers, knee warmers, and neck warmers with McGill logos on them!
Make your payment either by interac to mcgillcycling@gmail.com , OR by credit card here (beware there is a 3.5% surcharge). Make sure to pay for your order by the end of the day you’ve filled in the google form, or else your order will be cancelled.
Do you have fit kit, and can we try it on?
Yes, we will soon have fit kit for members to try on, and we will create a poll in this post to figure out when/where fitting sessions will be! For those who own last year’s kit, the sizing is exactly the same!
Hello! I’m a McGill alumnus and avid cycling (in Toronto). I would love a McGill kit. Question for remote ordering: what Biemme products are they? I can then look at the size chart appropriate to that gear. Thanks! Raymond
Yes, they are race fit. But as far as I know, if you go according to the sizing chart I attached in this post, you will not go wrong. We’ve been using the same sizing chart for the past three years, and even though the model we’ve ordered has changed from year to year, the sizing does not change.
Yo! Finally we will have some kit samples to try on from Friday until Wednesday (kit order deadline). I will be keeping them in my office on campus for people to try on at the times listed in the poll. If none of these times work for you, please get in touch as I am somewhat flexible so may be able to arrange times outside these. And if you are still really stuck, we may be able to get some samples to HQ for people to try on at the weekend.
Please fill in the poll to let me know you are coming.
My office is in the genome centre (MUGQIC, 740 Penfield), room 4203.
So the over complicated instructions if you are really bad at finding places like me:
It’s on the 4th floor (which is actually the main floor if you come in from Penfield, one floor up from the University side entrance), then if you are facing the lifts of the 4th floor, go down the corridor to your left and go through room 4200 in which there is the door to my lab (4203). My desk is over on the right hand side. If you let me know more precisely what time you are coming I can meet you in the lobby of the 4th floor.
If you can’t find me I will likely be upstairs, so you can call me on 438 929 3192. Or feel free to text me with your ETA and I’ll try make sure I’m around!
I’ve made a mistake with the order form: I forgot to include socks!
The socks are now added to the form, and are available in red, black, or white. They are not custom! Sizing is listed in the accessory sizing section.
I’ve also established that the socks are of really good quality (coolmax fabric), and they are very comparable to ones I’ve bought from good kit companies.
If you want some socks, please just create a new order for them!
Quick question. I live in Boston now and just read about kits. As I read I have to contact with someone before I place order. Can you please let me know?
Also, I am travelling now and hard to check sizing. Would it be possible to stretch deadline slightly?
I would like to inform you of a few changes to our order, that we did not previously anticipate.
The kit design has changed: Due to last minute comments from Athletics, we have had to change the colours of our kit to comply with their unwritten, yet stringent policies. The kit will now look like: ,
Orders may not be delivered before Christmas: We’ve had troubles with the slow accounting process enforced by Athletics, meaning it takes time to issue a cheque to our supplier. This has set back when we will receive our orders. I’ll be working round the clock to ensure that this is taken care of as promptly as possible.
I’d like to apologise for these inconveniences, and I hope that everyone can understand that these circumstances are not entirely within my hands.
Please feel free to reach out to me, should have you have concerns.
Next thing you know they’re going to say our bikes, shoes and helmets need to be certain colours, wouldn’t mind if they were footing the bill and getting us some good stuff…
