Actually I have two black/yellow and one black/red ones. Black/red is half zip, yellow ones are full zip.

Those white tops are nice.

Never understand why people want black cycling tops. Doesn't strike me as very bright.

Perhaps a nice yellow top with black logos next time?

Gen 1 was all black, from Foska. (I have one, and it's now quite baggy at XXL.)
Gen 2 was all white, from Foska. (I have one of those too, and it's a bit baggy at XL.)

Gen 3 was when there were MTB options, I think, and was mainly white, but with quite nice yellow bits. I didn't partake that time, I don't know who made them.

But you seem to be missing Gen 2.1 - red (or was it yellow) from Owayo and Gen 2.2 - yellow (or was it red) from Owayo, both pictured above and not from Foska.

Those are all Gen 3 variants from owayo

Foska was the Gen 2 black white one

The black Gen 1 was also Foska

Foska was the Gen 2 black white one

The black Gen 1 was also Foska

So 3 Gen 3's in all then (2 road and one MTB)

I've a black / white / red road one which was bioracer and got it in 2015 and still ride occasionally.

[anonymous-user]

There’s obviously been a few of these over the years then?

[louiebaby]

Perhaps someone with a better beard can produce a better generation list?

Gen 1 = Foska.

Gen 1.1 = road, black with white PH logo.
Gen 1.2 = road, which with black PH logo.

Gen 2 =

...

I dunno.

There was a "Gen 4" collection, pretty sure it was courtesy of Gruffy.

I have some "Gen 3" OWAYO jerseys. Two still in their wrappers. The XL was too big for me from the off, the L was a nice fit when I bought it but now more of a MTB/comfort fit. I also have a long sleeved full zip top - not quite depths-of-winter warm, but a nice intermediate weight for autumn and spring.

The "Gen 4" stuff I bought a more snug fitting 'Race' jersey and some shorts (with pistons down the thigh) which I wore to RideLondon last year. Also a winter jacket, all by BIORACER. These could be reprinted, as far as I recall, because BIORACER kept the designs on file. But they'd be low volume rerun prices, so pretty expensive and they weren't what I'd describe as cheap in the first place.

As said, I have kept a couple of "Gen 3" jerseys in their wrappers and just worn the same ones over and over. The "Gen 4" race jersey seldom gets an outing because the pockets aren't much use for carrying the amount of swag I drag along on my long rides. OS maps don't fit in the pockets for a start.

I have a bunch of other cycle jerseys in plastic storage boxes in my wardrobe, but they don't get much of a look in as I almost always wear a PH jersey or jacket when I'm out. They don't exactly take long to dry when they're laundered so I find I wear the same ones to destruction rather than rotating them and spreading the wear. The "Gen 3" stuff, which I think was what this thread was about, has had a hard life. I've just stitched it to reinforce the pockets where they were pulling holes in the fabric of the back of the jersey, and darned a couple of holes in the right hand pocket which were caused by getting caught on a barbed wire fence.

2012 was the white and yellow Owayo, then a few years later the same design was done in black and red, then I believe there was a set from Bioracer, which also included the MTB designs.

Yeah, mine was from the black & red Owayo run that Gruffy organised in 2014 (where does the time go?!)

The jersey has lasted well, but the Owayo fit wasn't great - bit flappy on the arms/shoulders - but i might be interested in an updated one, especially if it's something tarty like Rapha

[ian in lancs]

I'm in too!

Mine are a great fit, and are lasting well. The white/yellow one gets a bit grubby though, it needs a soak in some magic stain stuff every now and then.

[Slaav]

Mine are my most commonly worn jerseys and up until my holiday, have managed over 1,000 miles during Covid!

Love them and hope it increases the chances of being given a wide berth by PH non cyclists - of which there are loads if you read the relevant topics

I think after this amount of time, there would be demand..... ?

The PH jersey mirrors my cycling development.

I’m started with an XL, then in the second wave bought a L and now wear a M and even that is now baggy although that could be due to the fact it is well over 6 years old and is washed twice a week!

I’d have another but someone needs to put their hand up and volunteer to sort it out.
