Which final jersey design?

[burriana]

Ok guys - here are four options of the final design. Please choose just one. Please do not add any more suggestions, as that has been done on previous threads which has brought us to this point.

The poll will only be open for a couple of days. The design is a full front zip and we are looking at the option of having one of the pockets zipped but, this will depend purely on cost. The base will also feature the rubberised "sticky" hems to help reduce ride up.

V5a


V5b


V6


V7

My personal preference is for V7 as the black collar will stay clean longer and the black rear pockets will not show road crud quite so much. Happy voting

Have you got any more details on material choice yet and the cost (beyond between £50 and £60?)

The stuff I've seen so far claims unrivalled quality etc. so I'd like to know what this actually means before I vote and influence the choice.

I should see the material sample this week. Due to trying to keep somewhere near the £50 mark it will be a Coolmax material and of a quality on a par with the Foska top which, Garlick has confirmed most people were happy with.

If we try to push for Rapha type quality I fear the price may put a number of people off.

Cheers. Sounds sensible to keep it at that price. Much more and the material expectations are much higher, i.e. merino.

I voted V7 as it has the least amount of yellow on it and the back won't look too dirty as stated above.

I want one regardless of the yellow or what design gets the go ahead.

Wouldn't it be cheaper without the yellow detailing?

[burriana]

No. No difference and, black/white/yellow are the PH brand colours

Voted.

Also, if you put a pasty in the pocket on a sunny day, it'll be nicely warmed from your back and the sun for a 35 mile snack...

My vote is for "whichever one has a XXXL".

My first choice was with the yellow collar, but equally happy with the black collar, so long as the pockets are black.

I like V5b but it seems like V7 is the most popular.

Where could one try one on? or does one relate the PH jersey to a regular cycle jersey??

I know need to buy some sexy road bike kit and this looks perfect. I was never on any list saying I wanted one, are these limited numbers? Would I need to commit? Can I just buy one from the shop?

[BPC7]

V7 for me too.

As has been said the black will hide some of the road dirt splashes as they dont wash out,(as my £70 Castelli waterproof jacket is living proof), and also the collar will hide sweaty neck marks lol

I have added your name to the unofficial list (on about page 3) Chris. 126 provisionals so far so i think we will be getting a fair few overs done.

Next thing will be to work out how many of what size when we get a guide. I will probably do it as a poll to give us a rough idea rather than having to go through the whole list again.

It would in hindsight have been easier to put name and size down but, as yet we don't have a sizing template to go off, so it may have been inaccurate.

Bit of a Henry Ford model choice this.

[burriana]

This is the result of the previous design option discussions. I think most of us are hoping for a 2012 model

The same for me... Loving the look of the new top, so any chance of being added to the list?
