Quins Cycling Jerseys Now Available to Order


By Prof
April 21 2010

Quinssa had the idea, foska had the skills, the new Quins Cycling Jerseys were born!!!

Come on you Quins... Get on your bike and raise some money for charity. A number of Quins supporters are taking part in fundraising bike rides this year and Quinssa approached foska about doing a jersey. So here it is :o)

£10 from the sale of each jersey is going to support The Great British Bike Ride charities plus Wooden Spoon (see below)

Not going on the ride? Why not buy one anyway, they look great! Need some shorts? We will donate £5 for each pair of Foska shorts purchased with a Quins jersey.

Click below for information on the rides:

There are three versions of the shirt:

I think they look fantastic and I've even ordered one - not one of the skin tight ones I hasten to add.

Since I don't ride a bike it will purely be for sauntering to pubs and drinking in smiling smiley

They do look great. I may be tempted to forgo a jersey & get one of these instead! And now that summer is on its way & I can ride my bike, it might have to be a birthday pressie to myself!

Fantastic idea by the way!

I really like the look of these, but would love to see one in the flesh before committing to buy one. I'd like to know how tight the ladies' cycling ones come up because it would be cool to have a shirt in Quins' colours that actually fits properly!! The best ones I have are the kids' replica shirts I've bought. (Sm14)

They look so much nicer than the replica shirts. I assume that the 'green' is a proper green on these? (Sm13)

RB,

you know what I look like,and I bought an XL free ride one, which I think will fit me reasonably well (not too snug)

by the looks of the sizing avid cyclists are all skinny...

A few pointers from someone who has a number of foska products:

The freeride shirt is square cut at the bottom like an old style rugby shirt would be & fits like that ie not tight but is still in wicking material. The "road jersey" is a normal road-race cycle jersey ie it has elastic in the waist to keep it in place so your kidneys keep warm when cycling.

For the Ladies' shirts, I've found them to be much the same as M&S sizing if that helps. One thing I would say is that because of the very different heights women can be, if you are 5'6 and over, then I'd either go up one size in the women's cut or head for men's sizes to make sure it's long enough if you're going to be cycling in it or if you want to make sure it covers below hipster jeans waistband.

For the freeride shirts, I'd say that a medium is around a 14-16 in M&S, a large is a 16-18.

If you work near Victoria, then Action Bikes there stock all the sizes. The other Action Bikes in Sheen, Wimbledon, Embankment and Whitton (0.85 miles from the Stoop) has some stock of road jerseys. Also some Evans cycles have them and also Harrods.

Will pop back again soon if there are any more questions.

Action cycles stock Foska kit so you may want to try them to check sizing in store (as I did in their victoria shop, not sure if Whitton has them tho) as Foska sizing can be generous. I have a 39/40 inch chest and the Foska medium (road top) fits fine. I also fit a medium kooga top.

This is great work by Quinsaa and all concerned. I'll be keeping an eye out for other supporters on my daily commute to Westminster.

ScubaChris, you could probably do without the 3/4 length zip and the back pockets if you're putting it on under a wetsuit.

The freestyle one is for my cycling (or attempts to get between pubs oin two wheels).
I just wondered if the tradional road one would work for the rash-vest.

This is a great idea! Indeterminately barred from cycling due to major knee injury suffered nearly a year ago (protip... don't damage your knee in a fall 3 hours into a London-Paris ride and then complete said ride on a diet of codeine and pernod) but in the event that the knee recovers... I'll look!

In a year of not cycling I'd have gone from the small to the XL... d'oh.

If anyone knows anyone who wants a nearly new road bike (RRP c£2500) then shout...

I ve just returned from a holiday in France, I wore this in Carcassonne when the mercury hit close to 40C and I was delighted that it "wicked" very well, enabling me to still feel relatively cool despite the heat. (Sm134)

Jolly useful too for helping other members of my party to find me in the streets of the crowded old city (Sm13)

I have the freeride one, now looks a little big as I've riden around 1,500 miles in it so far.

Might go and pick up one of the proper cycling jerseys for the summer now.

The harlequins / foska water bottles are nice as well.

Any of the pockets on the rear have a zip? and also whether the centre pocket is narrow so as to hold a pump?

Many thanks.

The rear pockets don't have zips. However, they are deep/tight enough to store phones/wallets in. I sometimes wear my on my 12 mile ride to work, with I-phone, wallet etc in the back and it's not a problem.

You could probably get a small pump into one of the pockets.

My mistake - it does have a zip and a small pocket which could fit one of a wallet/phone. It's not very big though. I have a XXL (but I am massive) and it's a good tight fit. In all, they are not bad quality and a must for any quins cyclists.
