5BBC Apparel - One Last Chance
Primary tabs

We are ordering the jerseys for our 21 in '21 leader recognition special award. It's an opportunity to let the general membership order jerseys too. The picture shows you what's available. If you'd like to order, please e-mail president@5bbc.org and Toby will tell you how to pay after letting her know what you want. Here's how to specify your selection including sizing information:
Finding the right model, cut and size for yourself.
Getting your size right. Read the sizing charts carefully This particular supplier has excellent documentation of their products so you can select the right size. It's the best we have ever seen - but you have to really pay attention to it. Each Jersey DESIGN comes in 5 different MODEL-CUT combinations from which you can choose the typical sizes. You can read about them in detail on the web site but to net it out for you:
There are two MODELS of Jersey: Elite and Core. The Elite jersey is described on the Verge web site here (toggle between men and women at the top) and is a time-tested classic you can use for training, off-road or charity events. It’s built using durable Trafo™ fabric on a traditional pattern including side panels, and three rear pockets. Despite being a budget jersey ($65), it’s more than capable of providing you with countless hours of enjoyable rides. If you like a looser fit, there are 3 cut options in this model: Fitted, Relaxed and Comfort. The Core jersey is described on the Verge web site here (toggle between men and women at the top) and is a modern update to the classic form; it’s everything you love about a traditional jersey with the addition of up-to-date technologies. Built around next-generation Focus Lite™ fabric means you will be comfortable in this jersey regardless if you take it out for a spin on the road or carve up the single track. It's basically $10 more for a more modern look. There are only 2 cut options in this model: Fitted and Relaxed. So even though Elite sounds like it should be above Core - it's not. It's the basic jersey but has looser fitting options. Core is the more up to date modern and sleek design for which you pay more.
Basic descriptions of the CUTS are provided here
- Fitted: Snug fitting and designed to contour your body.
- Relaxed: Comfortable fit with a little extra room throughout.
- Comfort: Cut large and designed to be loose-fitting. (Only available in the Elite!)
All of this is taken from the web site. Read the sizing charts carefully. Why so complicated? Because we have many preferences on how clothes fit within our membership and want to satisfy as many as possible rather than assuming one style or cut may please all which experience shows it does not. And this provider has the flexibility so we thought, let's take advantage of it. If you are an L in one supplier, it is not a safe assumption to just pick L in this one. Read the sizing charts carefully and make an educated choice. There are no refunds or exchanges. Period. Another way to confirm sizing is to make sure you check the “Sizing Tables” link at the bottom of the individual product pages for the items you are purchasing before selecting your size. Cycling clothing sizing varies widely across brands and returns or exchanges are not possible with custom clothing orders.
What to order?
Have you ever been frustrated by the fact that a club typically has only one design per year? If you don’t like it - you don’t buy it. Last year, we had a member who helped us with a branding exercise. In the end, after many creative brand re-designs were offered, the club's board decided to stay with an updated version of our familiar logo and branding. You will see it featured prominently on each design. However, we had so many creative treatments of our 5BBC moniker, we thought why not turn them into Jersey designs and voila, you now have a choice to make from 7 current designs. We also have shorts and bibs as well as two cap designs. Happy Shopping!
Our 2018 5BBC Design is available again:
Our 2020 5BBC Designs are:
Accessories:
- Lowers (shorts or bibs)
- Black Cap and White/Red Cap (once size fits most)
And for leaders leading 5 rides between October 1st, 2020 and December 31st, 2020, we have designed a special thank you jersey visible at this link.
If after all this - you get stuck? E-mail president@5bbc.org for help :)
