ARCC Kit – Frequently Asked Questions
What kit does the club keep in stock?
We keep a small range available for immediate collection:
- Short sleeved jerseys (mainly for new members)
- Socks (sizes 37–39, 40–42, 43–45, 46–48)
- Caps (sizes 51–53, 54–56, 57–60)
- Snoods (one size)
- Fleece-lined arm warmers (sizes 1, 2–3, 4–5)
Occasionally, we also sell extra kit on behalf of members, but this is ad-hoc.
How do I order other kit (gilets, jackets, bibs, tights, etc.)?
These items are available through ordering windows that open a few times a year.
- Minimum order quantities apply (usually 3–5 items depending on the product).
- Ordering windows are announced via club channels and ride leaders.
- Kalas Club Kit Shop – Currently Closed
How long will my order take?
Once the ordering window closes, Kalas begin production. Delivery is typically 5–8 weeks (closer to 5 weeks in most cases, but not guaranteed).
How does Kalas sizing work?
Kalas use a numbered system (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.), not the usual UK small/medium/large.
- Jackets and gilets are designed to fit over layers, so they come up larger. Many riders size down.
- Always check the official Kalas size guide before ordering: Kalas Size Guide
What’s the difference between Elite and Pro kit?
- Elite – excellent all-round kit.
- Pro – more fitted, aerodynamic, and made from slightly different materials.
Jackets – what’s the difference?
- Pro Rainex – premium material, aero fit.
- Elite 35 – high quality, slightly less premium than Rainex.
- Elite-Z 38 – 2-in-1 design with removable sleeves (jacket + gilet).
Gilets – what’s the difference?
- W&W Mission Flow – thicker gilet for colder days.
- Microfiber/Net – mesh back, no pockets, very packable into a jersey pocket.
Shorts and tights – what makes them different?
These come with Kalas’ top-quality chamois pad for maximum comfort.
- Chosen from the higher end of the Kalas range.
- Designed to last and stay comfortable on rides from 50km up to 200km+.
Do I need to wear club kit on rides?
No, it’s not mandatory. But it’s encouraged.
- Every member receives a short-sleeved jersey when they join.
- Wearing ARCC kit helps build a strong club identity.
Can I return or exchange kit?
No. Custom orders placed in an ordering window are non-refundable.
We recommend trying on another member’s kit for sizing before you order.
Can I order specialist kit like skinsuits?
Yes. Some items (e.g. TT skinsuits or crit suits) have a minimum order of 1 and can be ordered outside the normal windows. Contact the Kit Manager for details.
