This week, I added some new kit for the new year. And it may be months before I wear it, because this is definitely warm weather stuff. The bibs should look familiar; I’ve been wearing Louis Garneau bibs and shorts for years. Love the chamois. The orange jersey is from Sugoi, a brand with which I have a limited but positive history. The greenish-yellow jerseys are from Santic, a brand with which I have no history. I took a chance on Santic in part because of many positive reviews but also because the price was so good. In cycling, you don’t always get what you paid for. Sometimes a big name brand is a big disappointment and a smaller name is a better value. We’ll see where Santic belongs. I had to replace some worn-out articles in my cycling wardrobe, but now I’d like to be done buying kit for 2026, no matter how inexpensive it is.
