Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.

Primal Wear?

Just curious if anyone has used their jerseys or shorts?

Does this brand make good quality stuff?

Buddy of mine wears one of the frankenstein jerseys. Seems like decent quality stuff.

Some "out of the box" designs for sure.

I have a pair of their shorts. They are great....they do run on the large size though. Durable, and comfortable, very breathable.

I have their Pink Floyd - Dark Side jersey. It's fine. There's a bit of room for if you have a beer gut. I prefer a more race-cut fit, but other than that I have no complaints with it. That jersey is on regular rotation.

Their race cut jerseys are pretty good.

I bought an Air Force Jersey from them. The back of it is now completely discolored from sun exposure. It's purple instead of blue.

I have one of their jerseys, and bought one for my wife, when they were still made in the USA. Quality is really good, or it was when I bought ours, a few years ago. This year, I noticed they are now made in China. I am not totally boycotting Chinese products, but since I don't really need another jersey, I put it back on the rack.

They are even manufacturing children in China. And Americans are lining up to buy them.

(That might not be politically correct, but it is correct)

I have a few of their Metallica jerseys. I think they're very well made.

What happened to their Iron Maiden jerseys? I was hoping to to pick one or two up this year.

The ADA gave me one for being a "Red Rider" at the Greater Philadelphia Tour de Cure. I've wore it a few times, and my only complaint is the odd zipper. It stops about 3 inches above the bottom of the jersey, and just seems like very awkward to stop. Other than that, I have no complaints at all with the jersey.

I haven't bought any Primal in, oh, almost a year, but that's mainly because I haven't needed to. The shorts and jerseys I've gotten from Primal are the most comfortable I have, and they're showing no wear at all after circa 3 years of almost daily riding.

I think Primal Wear jerseys are made by Voler. Voler quality is good for the price. The Primal jerseys only come in club (relaxed) fit, though.

I have three Primal jerseys and have been very happy with them. My two favorite ones are the one that looks like a skeleton and the one that looks like a tuxedo. I got mine from www.love2pedal.com . There usually is coupon code for that company floating around BF for $$$ off.

I've got some Primal jerseys and also our team gets our custom jerseys through them. I think they are pretty good.

I have a half dozen or so of the rock jersey's and the pro short. My only gripe is the jersey's don't fit the same, some are tighter/looser in the same "large" size. I got the shorts on sale and they are really good but I like the PI micro sensor short a little more but they were twice the price so no problem.
