Shutt VR clothing - a bit like rapha

That softshell looks nice..........and not too pricey ;O)

I want a Rapha one, but can't justify the price.....I will have one, one day!!

I have the new winter softshell and it is good, it has come through the cold snap with flying colours and it thankfully washes ok too.

I like the look of thems. Sizing seems a bit obtuse though. Im usually a 38-40 chest unsure of which one to go for? Can you give me some advice re sizing in real life?

You need to go Morvelo there's a write up on their kit on here velofixie.blogspot.com

The Shutt VR blog has put my report up from a ride few weeks back:

Never heard of this brand before but the stuff looks pretty good and i like that its a small company, British and seems actively into cycling.

I've got some of their coolmax bibs. They're the tiniest bit short in the leg for me, but the pad is excellent and really comfortable.

Anyone had reason to deal with S VR from a customer service point of view in recent weeks?

I emailed them about a week ago with a stock query. Never received a reply.

I emailed them about custom kit for 300 cyclists and no reply.

:(

Their twitter feed still looks active, so I presume they are still in business. Not sure how long they will stay that way if they are ignoring potential orders for 300 sets of kit.

I bought the softshell last year, the one they described 'same material as Assos'

Absolute bolleaux

OK, I just had a bit of a bizarre interaction with them. I'm a bit hesitant to reveal too much about it at this stage as I want to get a bit more concrete info. Does anyone on here actually know them at all?

Fwiw, I have dealt with them in the past. Unfortunately the sizing is bit hit and miss, but have to say the customer service was excellent.

In 2010 they were ace. Stitching on one of my jerseys was unravelling and after I posted it for repair they sent me a new one promptly!

Does anyone on here actually know them at all?

Haven't bought anything from them in a while, but have been on an organised weekend ride with them and have their sales and marketing director as a contact on Facebook. That any use?

re: Pascalo's post above...I had the same service when holes appeared above my Sportive LE jersey pockets, sent back and replaced with no hassles.

Cheers for the heads up. You have a pm
