Heart of England Cycling Club Windproof gilet - SPECIAL ONE-TIME OFFER The committee has identified a suitable HoECC garment. The thinking being that most riders will already have jerseys and are less likely to want another - the gilet works with any jersey, summer or winter.
An initial design is here
http://www.heartofenglandcyclingclub.org.uk/index.php/news (and RobG has a sample):
Lightweight windproof fabric with high collar, full length zip and a zipped “key pocket”. Folds up to go in a jersey pocket. Green body with silver grey detail and darker grey collar. Sizes from Small to 3XL.
To start with we are asking members to say whether they would like to buy a gilet - please reply to this message by Forum PM - or email
gilet@heartofenglandcyclingclub.org.uk Subject to a minimum quantity the price per gilet will be £30.00 - this is below cost price with the difference being subsidised from club funds. This price is a one-time offer for members only - any future orders are unlikely to be subsidised and we do not expect to hold stock.
We need your response no later 22 September 2016 at which time we will decide whether the project is viable and if so ask for payment before we place an order on 5 October 2016 - for delivery in approx 4 weeks (in time for that self-purchased Christmas gift!).
The gilets are manufactured by the same company that made the CTC HoE jerseys so if you have one you know the size that you require (the size is printed in the jersey neckband) - we will also have a set of try-on samples available.
Buying a gilet, apart from getting a superb garment at about 50% of market cost for a comparable item, supports and promotes the club..
Don't forget - if you want one you need to tell us by 22 September 2016
