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

Looking into Voler or Jakroo. Jakroo would be more feasable for me since it is local, though I noticed that there are more groups in my area who uses Voler. Any of you guys have used both? Need pros and cons based on your experiences. Thank you in advance for anyone who wants to comment.

I haven't dealt with the custom aspect for either but I own a jersey from each, both custom for particular organizations. I'd say the Voler is a thicker material. The Jakroo seems thinner. I haven't used either jersey in a while so I can check if you don't get much feedback. I can't check for a few days though, I am not where the jerseys are stored.

Only have experience with Voler, good stuff and if you don't like it they have a great return policy. Best of all they always send treats

We have one Jakroo kit and several Voler kits in our house. The Voler stuff is pretty good - I would go through about three, maybe for Voler kits per year.

The Jakroo stuff is ok. I understand their thing is to do low volume custom orders - Voler requires a minimum of 10. I'm not sold on the quality of the Jakroo stuff. It feels rather cheap.

OP,

A suggestion for the future is post the subject in the thread title.
