Sep 17, 2014 at 08:29 PM

Who and what is Dr.Pad???It's me. Come over to Williamsburg sometime and I'll show you why.

@wes more to the point, who and what is sublimation?
Sep 18, 2014 at 12:34 AM
(though obviously fully sublimated is better than partial sublimation, any idiot knows that)
Sep 18, 2014 at 02:24 PM
I want the knee high socks

Very cool. Nice looking jacket and the concept is great. But micro-glass beads? This is why I keep gauze underneath the bathroom sink.
I found a video. Not sure how accurate or edited it is, but if the jacket reflects even a tenth of what they show, then right on. Just can't wear it to the movies and check your phone. . .

By the way, Champsys had their new stuff on display at Gloucester:
Gabba style jersey, much nicer razor bib grippers, leg warmers that "lock" with the bib grippers, CX specific gloves, etc
Looked like they're closing the gap

Oh, there was also an entirely new Women's line! I'm not sure I understand what they did to the leg openings, but apparently it is designed to prevent "sausage leg." That sounded both good and bad at the same time.Jules said:By the way, Champsys had their new stuff on display at Gloucester: Gabba style jersey, much nicer razor bib grippers, leg warmers that "lock" with the bib grippers, CX specific gloves, etc Looked like they're closing the gap
I blame the post-race daze.

Shout out and thanks to our teammate Wes and Champion Systems for taking my "floating pad" shorts, warrantying and sending me a new set directly to my house. Very pleased with the customer service I received!
Oct 04, 2014 at 01:10 AM
Yeah, I did the same, although they sent back a different sizeMarc Bertucco said:

I'm amazed at how many people are selling used bibs these days.

Cross post from Team kit order:
Wanted to clarify CS bib tights sizing. I see the next order window is creeping up and I wasn't sure- order tights same size as shorts or does the length run short? I wear Med bib shorts but Large CS leg warmers, so not sure what size tights to get.

FWIW - The chamois bunching issue happens to other brands as well. I found out the hard way this morning when I put on a plain Giordana kit and rushed out the door to work. The inner sponge part slipped and folded over in a *very uncomfortable way*. I basically stood the entire ride to the upper east side this morning, so that was a lot of laughs.
