PezCycling News - What's Cool In Pro Cycling
New for 2010 (and inline only) is the Capo Anatomic Light EIT Insert, direct from chamois kings Cytech. Being anatomic means it’s pre-shaped to curve with the body, an the seamless one piece of material that contacts yer privates should make for smooth riding on even the hardest saddles (which tend to accentuate even the slightest bumps in the groinal region). The different thicknesses of foam mean better comfort, and the anti-microbial silver ion threads reduce bacteria growth. Look for these on Capo’s inline and custom kits by early Spring.
NEW FROM CAPO For 2010 – Inline & Custom
Custom kit has become so popular in recent years, that many top tier brands actually sell more custom orders than they do inline kits. And where there is demand, the smart guys also offer supply, like Capo’s Super Corsa Cut bibs and jerseys that take custom kit to a level previously offered only to pro-level teams.
These in no way lessen the quality of Capo’s previous and still offered models of custom kit (like PEZ’s own kit based on the Corsa style), but for teams and clubs who want a very fitted, more aero-looking design, this could be for you.
The GS Capo “Super Corsa cut” is available in both custom and inline, and presents tighter-fitting race cut garments, and sleeker cuts, all in fully sublimateable fabrics.
The men’s inline Cima kit is based on the Super Corsa cut, and shows longer, snugger sleeves, a mesh panel under the arms and on the body sides. Sleeves are longer by 2cm, while the bodies are cut shorter, and more fitted than other ‘custom’ styles. The super smooth polyester fabric is lighter and form fitting (think skin suit), and is available for custom orders – but you gotta ask for it by name.
The GC Capo Super Corsa series bib shorts come in higher compression fabric, and stay snug around the legs with an 8cm band, sans gripper. They are cut longer, and fully sublimateable – so whether your design is awesome or ugly, you should at least feel pretty damn fast.
No serious line of kit should be without their own compression sock, and Capo reports these are holding up to more than just on-bike use, as a couple of their homies wear ‘em all day long. It’s made from a blend of Merril Skinlife & lycra yarn which is anti-odor and anti-microbial.
The Men’s “Recicli” jersey is made from 100% reclaimed plastic – cut is standard cut on top, while the bibshort is made by 100% recycled Power-Lycra and uses their Anatomic Light EiT chamois with lateral back panel. The Short is also made from low water consumption lycra, which uses less water to dye it, and therefore less junk flushed back to the earth.
Men’s jersey will retail at $119.00 and the bibshorts at $159.00
The Recicli Donna is specifically cut for women, and made from the same fabric as the men’s – by their Italian supplier in Italy – which means the fit is pretty much guaranteed to fit well – very well.
Ladies’ jerseys will retail at $109.00 and the shorts at $129.00.
