Redbeard sold me this a season or two ago:

Not orange, but love them, total hotness. #YMWV

@Will Kalbacker thanks for the tip. I have Fizik shoes, which makes me very optimistic about the fit. Plus, welded seams (instead of taped) and a rubberized outsole sound very sturdy.

And I'll check out the Giro ones next time I see them at Redbeard, @eloy. Thanks. 

Not sure if this is the right area to post - but I'll give it a shot. Looking to buy a used Kissena Jersey. Size XL. I'm in Brooklyn. Maybe someone that downsized :-). My cell is 7186141345 - text or call is ok. 

Folks, a crash at White Plains a couple weeks back shredded my last set of summer bibs... if you have a new-ish medium sized bib that you are down to sell, LMK!

... otherwise I'll keep sweltering in my winter bibs until our new kit order comes in

We're in midst of producing a sock to match KCC kit. Please fill this sock size poll so we can determine how many of each size we need to order: http://doodle.com/poll/ygthv38vhh2iuc9b

See Team Kit Order thread for sock.

Though I have to admit to drafting people when walking up the subway stairs.  If there was a shirt that made that easier AND made me look stylish, well ... 
I wouldn't buy it because that would just be too much awesome.
Train heavy, race light.

Patagonia must have some Kissena blood flowing.   

Hellow all, Anyone down to loaning me their skinsuit for GMSR?  I'm a S or M (I'm a M in Champsys gear)

Scott,
     I have one with a broken zipper that you can borrow or pass on to another Kissena rider.  It's a small, and shortened, but these skin suits are generally pretty big.

  Can you get the zipper fixed between now and then?

Does anyone have any kit, bibs and/or jersey in men or women small? Our women's kit didn't come in this season yet,  and I only have one set to wear for GMSR. I'm fine washing it each night, but the bib shorts I have haven't held up well, and can't be machine washed at this point.  

On the upside, I'll be up to my ears in Kissena kit by maybe November?

Scott or Christina, I have an older Ride Brooklyn sponsor kit skinsuit in men's small you can borrow.  I'll be at the CX clinic on Sunday otherwise hit me up and we'll figure something out.  daveyang42@gmail

GMSR TT approaches ... if anyone has a loaner aero helmet, I'll shave my arms for you *and* bring you back some Ben & Jerry's.  (My head is a medium in POC sizing.)

I have a Giro Advantage 2 in a Medium you can borrow.

It's with me in Harlem, if you can make it up here.

@niallsmart I have an M POC aero road helmet, if you want to rock it in the crit. 

These look pretty awesome

The looks pretty great, but there's no question who the new cool kids on the block are:

champsys sizing question for current order. i wear medium bottoms, small top. what size skinsuit should I get?  medium or small?

Brendan,
     I think I'm a little taller than you, and I wear an extra-small standard-design skin suit.  The big limiter in this design is that the grippers at the leg ends are pretty much at their limit.  I have one of the fancier designs, and while the legs are a bit more comfortable, they're pretty close to their limit as well.   

     My general feeling is go with whichever is smaller, in your case I'd suggest a small.  

I just picked up a Champ-Sys Apex Summer Short Sleeve Jersey, size XS.  When I put it on, the seam joining the sleeve to the cuff at the end was so tight I could barely get it over my elbow.  The rest of the fit was as I expected.

Worried that this would make it too uncomfortable to wear, I wrote C-S asking for advice.

I wrote: "Where I’m stuck, almost literally, is on the sleeve stitching.  The stitching that joins the Elite shoulder/arm panels to the Agile sleeve cuffs is a bit tight on my arm.  The rest of the fit is excellent, but this is a bit uncomfortable.  Is there a way to let out the stitching a bit without unraveling everything?  I figure if I could get lcm or so more circumference, it would be totally comfortable."

here was their response: "If the stitching is "flatlock" which is sewn perpendicular to the seam, back and forth over about a half cm wide or so, then what is most likely binding is not the stitch itself but the "guide stitch" that is used to hold everything in place before the flatlock stitch is layed down. The flatlock stitch is designed to stretch along the seam in a slight accordion style. What you can do it simply take hold of the stitch and give it a tug apart. You will hear a snapping/popping which is the guide stitch breaking. That should loosen up that cuff for you so that it no longer bonds."

I was concerned, but it worked.  Don't know if it will lead to other problems, but for now, it's great.

Brendan, generally, get the medium short sleeves skinsuit, and small for long sleeves. If the leg has grippers (i.e. the shorts are solid blue), I suggest you lean towards medium.

To be clear, that exactly how I order. Seems to work for me. YMWV.

Seems like I'll have to go medium.  The medium bibshort grippers barely come over my thighs and were uncomfortable for the first month of wear.  Small would probably tear.

While I don't always use an inflator,
when I do, it has to be in Kissena colors.
