New Club Kit

[plain lazy]

Does anyone have any good ideas for where I can source decent quality O-club kit ?

I’ve got details of the some of the main suppliers:

Trimtex
Noname
Kampela
ISC
Craft
Ultrasport
Champion System (do bike gear but have made O-tops apparently)

My club is currently using Noname Combat tops and old school Compass Sport tops but we’re looking for someone who can offer race tops for some, and baggier versions for the less athletic folk who still want to represent the club. The Combat tops haven't been as popular as we'd have liked.

Trying to find out anything online is tough and I couldn’t even find a thread on here that helped…

Any help would be much appreciated !

Matt Speake is the noname rep and they will do both in the same design - as with SYO for example
I think he has organised a good deal despite the Euro at the moment and re-orders are usually a good price in any case...

We have recently bought club kit from Trimtex and the quality is okay but their customer service left a lot to be desired. The tops were delivered with a slogan printed on the collar which we had told Trimtex we didn't want, and it took months of argument before they agreed to take them back and put them right.

In future I would definitely favour buying from a company either based in the UK or with a UK rep, rather than dealing with someone in Scandinavia.

GG is the rep for Tackla which offers a variety of styles to the same design. Check out his web site for the details.

the tackla stuff looks great - our kit is coming from them this year as their garment/shipping costs are much more negotiable than other suppliers we've used in the past, courtesy of GG...

The SWJOS club tops were the subject of some discussion on nopesport last year. They were from Halo Sports Management Limited in Andover.

I tried a local cycling top manufacturer for our new club tops last year. They were very accommodating but had a minimum order which being a small club we could not meet.

Similarly, NoName have a minimum order too.

ECKO got some new smart tops from http://www.wasp-sports.co.uk for a very competitive price about a year ago now and they look fantastic.

In the end we purchased from Ultrasport because they were the only supplier with no minimum order.

anyone tried this bunch?

I bought a top from them at Austria WMOC (06) and it was good
They were handing out flyers at last year's POM
and seem cheaper then most

Thanks everyone for your input. Tackla was one I could not think of. I think SEDS used them for their tops recently but I'm not 100% on that...

I'll certainly give them a shout and see what they can offer.

Mole Valley are pretty pleased with their new Ultrasport tops.

As already mentioned, I am the TACKLA rep for the UK, so please feel free to send me a message if you would like some info on club tops, bottoms, jackets etc...
We will have a UK website set up soon (hopefully)

Tackla kit is pretty good quality and fits well (though I suppose that may depend on body shapes!). Trimtex is also excellent though their cost has recently become extortionate with GBP and Norwegian Kronor exchange rates.
