Capo winter line up!
Man now I wish I hadn't bought discounted 07' winter stuff this summer! I'm loving how they went with the M1 design for most of the winter clothing.

There was supposed to be a black and white kit for 2009. I already have the cap that matches it, but where's my kit?!

I AM a Capo fan boy, I'm not going to lie. I really like clothing and fashion, I'm not going to lie or try to hide it lol. I don't spend very much money on street clothing and try and spend wisely and save the money for the riding gear I want. I figure I notice the quality of a bib short and jersey on a 7 hour ride farrr more than I'd notice the comfort of a pair of Diesel Jeans. I don't know why I like Capo, maybe because it was the first real kit I saw when I started riding and wanted; I think they have a really good balance going on as far as price and quality goes, there's definitely better stuff out there though.

I know what your saying, I think they totally blew it with the Diavolo kit, at least you can get the same technology logo-less in the CSS (I think).
I'd like to know what kit this is, it's not listed in the new gear.

I too am a Capo fanboy. At work they call "Capo man." Whatever, they make nice stuff and the owners are super nice. Plus they're a local company so I'll support them all I can.
I like their products because they don't put random advertisements all over their clothing. Plus it's comfy and very well made.
Here's my new hat btw. I was told they were making a kit to match it. The M1 has orange on it.

I do have to say I'm very disappointed with the quality of their "skins", especially the arm skins, the tags are ripping out and the wrists are coming undone. If it gets anyworse I'm going to have to return them to my LBS like the gloves I had did. Seems bergamo is very lax about the quality on some of their products, gloves, hats, and arm skins being a few items.

I like the Capo stuff. It is the best thing going(looks/price) besides a team kit. That being said, the top of the line stuff is way overpriced.

Well their knee warmers should be fine, they seem top notch; it's the arm and knee skins. The problem is they're made of single layer lycra but they aren't flat lock sewn like bibs so the lycra seems to stretch and tear and it just doesn't look right. I mean they're GREAT if you live in climates where it's cold but not freezing like I do, they're even not that bad in the heat, I wear the knee skins almost all the time. I'm a 120% happy with the performance, the problem is they need beefier sewing to hold them together because I can already tell these will barley make it through the winter season which is ridiculous.

I will have a look at them when I get the chance. I need white knee warmers.
