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. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Cycling Gear

looking for new gear, just wanted some opinions on a company called Voler I believe that is how you spell it. I came across there web site and it looked like they have some really cool gear. Quality not sure though, hope someone has bought from them in the past.:cool:

LT1,
Welcome to BF.

I have not ordered from Voler but have seen their ads in two or three bicycling publications. Since they spent the bucks for an ad in a good magazine I suppose their stuff is good.
I noticed that many of their items have team logos. You may also want to look at the following websites for team AND non-team items.

To buy anything from Performance, click the "shop" link at the top of the page.

Good riding.

I know a lot of riders that like Voler. I've never tried their stuff, but my wife has a couple of jerseys. Some other friends like their shorts and bibs too.

We are looking at having them make a jersey for a rally next summer.

I've never tried them. Whenever you buy something sight unseen, you're taking a risk unless you know exactly what it is. If you would be upset by a product that didn't meet expectations (as opposed to considering it an educational expense), I'd recommend buying something you've been able to check out in person.

Bikes: More than I need, really.

Very solid clothing. Very high quality. It lasts a long time. I still have shorts that are a long way from wearing through on the plumber's crack (which is where shorts usually go bad first.)

Their thermal jacket is awesome.

Also, I think it's pronounced: vo-`lay.

Voler has different "levels" of quality. Our club/team went with Voler. (I was the only who pushed for Sugoi because I read in the Race forum that their RS Bibs are the best) I did try on samples of the Voler and it seemed decent.
Anyway the only reason to go with Voler is because of a team/group/club custom design purchase. If you are buying only for yourself, you have lots of options. If price is a factor you might as well get Hammer Nutrition gear/kit.
