Twin Six gear?
Anyone wearing it? How's the fit and has it held up well? Not many dealers in Canada (with any selection) so my order online but want to get some first hand impressions.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I've got two jerseys and one set of bibs from Twin Six. Everything has held up very well (the bibs + 1 jersey have lasted for well over a year without so much as a popped stitch). Jerseys are snug but not tight, very comfortable.

They make really good stuff and it is somewhat unique. I have a couple jerseys and bibs for a few years now and no problems. Good sales too in the fall although that won't help much now.

I have the merino long sleeve jersey. Probably the single nicest peice of clothing I own. Would buy other products in a heartbeat. I like that their stuff doesnt make you look like a rolling billboard.

I have several of their jerseys, all are great quality. I find they fit a bit snug compared to some of my other jerseys of the same size, but nothing too drastic.
Good to know about the sales in the fall, I'll have to keep an eye on their site in a few more months.

This is a definite plus. Their branding is often a lot more subtle than some of the other stuff that's out there.

Am I the only one who clicked on this thinking that 'twin six gear' was some kind of new monster drivetrain?

I have a couple of their jersey's, great quality, kind of unique, but the short sleeves are a little snug around my arms.

I have a Twin Six jersey and it is my favorite one. The designs are unique and sometimes funny. I have a pair of their socks too and while ok they are not as good as other cycling socks. BTW they are actually made by "Sock Guy" and just licensed by Twin Six.

100% a fan. Have a couple different years of Fatcyclist kits, but wouldn't touch anything else until they made their regular jersey's full zip. Looks like they have moved to full zip on everything this year, so later this summer I may end up with a couple of kits. really dig the Argyle in white this year!
Big fan of their tshirts also, and the newer hats made out of performance material are the best! Socks hold up forever as well.

Has anyone tried their bibs? I've got four of their jerseys and I'm looking to buy one of their bundles (jersey, bibs, socks) and the pictures of the bibs give no hint at the chamois.

Couldn't tell you anything specific about their bibs, other than the chamois is my favorite out of the four sets of bibs I own. Very comfortable bibs.

I was also curious about their bib's. I currently own a pair of the Castelli Endurance bib's and I love them, but didn't know if I would be better off paying the extra $30 to get the Velocissimo Due bib's, or just get the TwinSix's.

I love their jerseys. I have 3 or 4 of them. Haven't tried any of their bibs, but I'm due for a new pair soon so I might buy a pair if I see any sales coming up. Their socks are OK, I guess.
