The TriKirk Triathlon and Cycling kits arrived today and they look incredible!!! See attached photos. Thanks to Holly for modeling the women's apparel. I forgot to smile a few times while modeling the men's gear (sorry if I scare you).

The only thing that did not arrive are the jackets which are set to arrive early next week.

Please get your orders and money in soon so I can start paying down my monster credit card bill........

I went all-out when it came to choosing the highest quality chamois and materials, so rest assured the comfort and fit are second to none.

If you are local, you are more than welcome to come by and try things on beginning tomorrow (Friday). If you are remote, please use the sizing chart below as a guide in helping you select the proper size. I can also help advise you on size selection if necessary.

That's about it -- TriKirk triathlon, cycling, and run kits are here!

(btw: the Newton Running decal on the TT Rocket Aero helmet is not standard equipment, but I have extra if you want one.)

Feel free to email me or call with any questions, and to set up a try-on appointment.

Thanks to Nick Salazar of Salazar Photography (www.nicksalazar.com) for providing the Running Kit photos taken this past Monday at Chautauqua park in Boulder, CO.

Nick was also instrumental in coming up with the triathlon/cycling kit design.

Thanks,

3. Who are the sponsors and why? Adage IT, Zipp, SRAM, Zeal Optics, Salazar Photography (instrumental in helping with kit design), Colorado Multisport, Infinit Nutrition, Vitality Specific.

TriKirk Racing sponsors appear on the uniform because they are sponsoring me, and (in most cases) my athletes and supporters as well. Beyond this simple answer, it's a little more complicated, but I'd be happy to tell you how it works if you are interested.

Louis Garneau Cycling/Triathlon kits (see attached layouts):

Below you'll find the Louis Garneau Custom Sizing chart, the shipping charge chart, a list of the apparel items with pricing, followed by the sizing that Holly and I are in Louis Garneau apparel to help you decide on sizing.

LG official Sizing chart can be found here:

http://www.louisgarneaucustom.com/tech_info/sizing_chart.asp?language=ENG

FYI: I chose the highest quality EVERYTHING whenever there was a choice: Best Fabrics, Best chamois, Best Quality that Louis Garneau Custom offers.

Please consider this fact when you see the pricing (which is still generally the same or less than what you will find for retail pricing on the same level of quality apparel). This stuff is going to last and it is going to be comfortable! (For the record, I obtained sample custom kits from multiple companies during this process, and I have tried over a dozen different brands of cycling and triathlon apparel throughout my career including Sugoi, 2XU, Pactimo, TYR, Capo Forma, Champion System, De Soto, Orca, Profile, Castelli, Craft, etc., etc., and Louis Garneau's top-of-the-line stuff is the BEST I have come across in my 5 1/2 years of doing triathlon!)

There are two different Cycling Jerseys available:

A = Standard TriKirk Jersey -- doesn't say anything Christian-y. Holly is sporting an "A" jersey in the photos. I am as well in the pics w/o accessories like arm/leg warmers, skull cap, etc.

B = Christian TriKirk Jersey -- says stuff like "Powered By God", "Running For HIM", and contains an FCA Endurance Logo. I am sporting jersey "B" in the photos with arm/leg warmers, skull cap.

Every other apparel item (arm/leg warmers, helmets, shoe covers, triathlon jersey, jacket, etc.) is "A" or based on the "Standard" TriKirk Jersey.

The "B" Christian TriKirk Cycling Jersey is the ONLY apparel item with Christian text/logo.

You will not offend me whether you choose Jersey A or Jersey B so choose whatever you feel most comfortable with!

Regarding sizing, Holly and I are the following sizes based on the sample kit we tried back in January:

Holly (5'7" and 128lbs). Holly has fairly narrow shoulders and small arms/upper body. She has slightly more developed quads and calves relative to her upper body. She has a small head, probably slightly smaller than average for women, if I had to guess.

Kirk (5'10" and 147 lbs). I have a short torso with long, skinny arms. Because of my kyphosis (in my back), i have a slight bit of a "barrel" chest for my size, but still my upper body is pretty scrawny for the most part. I have long chicken legs that are at least bigger now than they were in high school! I have a really small head/helmet for a guy. I would be surprised if any other guys besides me fit into a Small Helmet!
