Description
2020 BAA Cycling Vest
“We have created our very own private label of cycling apparel manufactured and produced by the bets in the world. Manufactured by the same manufacturer who also makes the Tinkoff Saxo kits, and other notable pro teams. These kits are made with exclusive and top of the line imported Italian fabrics. The bibs are made with an absolutely top of the line chamois. Seriously – these chamois ROCK! We did this to ensure our team and club members have the best possible apparel and only ever have to pay direct cost for them. We love our team and love providing them exceptional apparel.”
-Ben Dodge
The Vest
Classic full zipper cycling vest with 3 pockets like a cycling jersey. Available as a thin wind breaker material. It really cuts the cold air down on your torso. A must have for winter riding. The vests are more unisex sizing and the women should consider ordering a vest based on the size of a unisex t-shirt they would otherwise get at any retail store.
Design background. The Inception of the 2020 Edition of the BAA Racing Kit.
The 2020 BAA Kit is simply classic. Months of designing, and redesigning went into this years racing kit. Influenced by a European look and feel, it combines classic clean lines. An overall “less is more” approach, this kit is impressive with as much as it leaves off, as well as what creative elements survived the final draft. With a sleek black base color combined with colors we all know and love in the BAA family- this kit POPS! Be seen out there. That is what we always do with our high visibility kits. This year is no different, in how the high vis colors contrast against the black. Made with the most incredible material we have found in Italy, these kits breathe and breathe some more. No hesitation in wearing this kit in the dead of summer.
With much forethought this years race kit can mix and match jerseys with the same bib! The notable exception is the pink edition of the 2020 kit. The pink jersey only matches the pink bibs. However, the High vis neon yellow/green jersey and the white edition of this jersey can both use the same bib. One could reasonably order two jerseys and one bib and have a completely different kit just to “change it up” a bit. 😉 Check out the GIF below for a quick example…
Kit Details, and Material Upgrades
Some noticeable upgrades this year. You will note the jersey and the bibs both come with reflective material sewn into the arm and leg cuffs as well as the bottom pocket area. The inseam and leg length is a bit longer. The leg cuffs have more of a grip feel. The arm length is a bit longer as well. The neon yellow and pink stands out from a very far distance against the black bits of the kit. The material used in the 2020 edition will be the same as our last kit order, the RAAM kits, and the Rebellious kits we made for the Race Across France. Essentially the jersey material is brand new technology and super thin. It feels like your cheating just wearing it! The pattern of the jersey and bibs are slightly different and more comfortable, longer, and better fitting. The suspenders on the bibs are new and amazing- they breathe and are completely hidden in the back as well. The grip feel to the legs is awesome and very improved.
The Chamois Pad: The chamois pad is comparable to the famous Assos pads. In the 2020 edition of the kit we are using exclusively the endurance chamois pad. The Endurance chamois is more comfortable over longer periods of riding and provides you with the support you need for both short and long distance cycling goals. There are no cycling shorts options, just bibs.
Sizing
Please note that we make these in race fit for a reason. Even our club members who only casually ride will benefit from the comfortable and sleek feel of the material and patterns used in the higher performing race fit edition of the kit. Check sizing carefully and know that when you order your kit you are committing to the size. We custom order your kit for you and can’t simply return it. There are no returns, and we do not carry much in stock. You are welcome to order more than one size if you are unsure. They are meant to snug your body. So if you like it loose then you may want to order a size or two up. See the sizing chart below.
Turn Around Time
Each kit is custom ordered and made for you. We open the store for a short time period (usually a week or two) and then we close it and submit one large order. From the date we close the team store and submit your order it is usually about a 5-6 week turn around time. Plan accordingly.
We custom make our cycling gear and do not keep it in stock. We will indicate on our store if a particular item is “in stock” or “back ordered.” You may buy any of gear at anytime, however if it is “back ordered” then you must wait for our next batch order. We submit the our custom gear orders to our manufacturer in batches a few times throughout the year. The turn around time is approximately 5 weeks from a batch order submission. Here are the cut off dates and approx delivery dates for our batch orders for the next season:
- Cut Off: October 9th 2019 | Approx. Delivery: November 11th 2020
- Cut Off: January 16th 2019 | Approx. Delivery: February 22nd 2020
