KCC polos?
Yack's winter suit

I love seeing how others get out in the big chill, though I don't have quite the same system.

I can't quite manage the layers like Yack can.

I have trouble with two layers over my knees.  I prefer to have fleece shorts and windproof tights.

I don't think I can fit as much over my feet.  I generally do ok with a pair of thin wool socks and windproof booties.  Though I sometimes try the "foil under the insole" trick in hopes it does add a little warmth.

Still, the bigger point is dress right and you'll be alright.  

Get out there.
KCC polos?
Not for me. Thanks.

-$20/ apiece. 2 Medium Race Cut jerseys from last year's run, good condition. One has a spot on the shoulder that'll probably come out with stain remover, the other one has very small rust spots from pinning race numbers. Pics are below

Oakley Radarlock Spare Lenses. Used, $10/ apiece. 1- Clear lens. 1- Persimmon lens for low light conditions. Both have some scratches on them where they lock into the frames, but NOT in the field of vision. New spare lenses retail online for $60+. PM me to set up pickup.
Lenses below.
Both lenses are vented.

When the kit order opens we usually have a sample set for you to try on at the shop.

Cross posting here:

The store is open. 

Go buy the kits with new sponsor logos (necessary and mandatory for racing and training..). The store will be open until March 11, two weeks from now.

Please be aware that you need to be a fully paid 2015 member to purchase the new kit.
Thanks, Phil.  This gives a whole new meaning to Race Clean!
On the front of the jerseys, I see Red Beard, Champsys, Sixpoint.  Who's the C logo?
That's Stages Cycling (Power) Bruce.

Has anyone used sun resistant kit ? I want to get something like the Pearl Izumi Sun Sleeves, I am wondering if folks have a thought on one model vs another ?

Josh,
     I have an earlier iteration of these, the 40spf.  My feeling is that they're more for places with much less humidity.  If you're getting sun rashes or reactions to sunscreen, they work.  But if you're riding hard, particularly hard and slow, on hot, humid days, they're not good.  
Thanks JP. From the CC copy: 
"The white option uses Ice-fil, which involves adding a xylitol coating to the fabric's threads that reacts to moisture, getting cooler when it gets wet."

So ..hmmm. I am headed to Florida and have some long riding planned. No issues with sunscreen except making sure to keep it freshly applied while on the bike. I am going to grab a pair of these and see how they work for me. I'll report back later this month.
FYI- Selling short jerseys, long/short skinsuits and a winter jacket in For Sale thread. Thanks!
@Josh You likely already know this, but I'd select routes carefully down there, or hook up with group rides. Florida is notorious for its car-centric infrastructure. 
Oh my.  Team sock?

so my chamois on two of my bibs started to move around inside. Who should i contact for a chamois replacement?
@Chi try hitting up warranty@champ-sys.com

Curious, are they the old bibs or the new ones?  If they warranty the bibs, they might replace your old ones with the new ones which have different chamois in them.


both around 1 year old, any chamois is better than uneven chamois
I just did a chamois warranty.  It takes a little while.  They sew a new chamois into your old kit.
Did they use an old style one or the newer grey/blue one?
So , with all the choices on offer for short sleeve Jerseys , who like what? 
 i cant make my mind up
