And now AUK....
Orders close before many will have done their qualifying 600/ know they're actually going...
Oh dear, I looked forward to an Audax UK jersey, but soon as I saw the manufacturer, I died, Stolen Goat has to be the worst kit I have worn.
My Stolen Goat Club SS jersey never felt good, too hot and sticky with sweat, the material does not seem to "breath", after a long day and into the evening, I always felt as if I had sweated buckets and then rolled in all the dust and muck in the kerb and it had dried on me all crusty.
LEL on the first day, I was really suffering with the jersey and the Sun behind most of the time, constantly trying to pull the collar away from my neck to cool down and blaming the strap on my documents wallet causing a hot spot. Later on the next day I had my jersey hung up and noticed something I had never noticed before, a sort of "latexy" stolen goat motiff on the inside below the collar, that was the source of the hot spot, the place were you pour cold water or apply an ice pack to cool down back of your neck, cannot work out the point of what its for or if I could remove it without damaging the print. According to Stolen Goat, its known as a "Heat transfer neck label", only problem is, it retains heat. At the first bag drop with my spare jersey at Brampton , I swapped jersey to my old Pactimo club shirt and never had an issue rest of the way round.
Sadly though, I will probably buy one, but not for long days out.
For a size guide, I am 6' 1", 44" chest and I take a XXXL. By Stolen Goats size chart, I should be next size down, but even an XXXL fits the "Contours" a bit to snug, they are a performance fit tailored to fit snug, but the next size up, XXXXL, could be massive as it for a 49" to a 52" chest. They have also gone up £20 in 14 months.
