Hey team, some questions have come up so I thought I would share some insight/observations concerning Cuore compared to Eliel, and answers to some FAQs concerning the store.
*Gloves, booties, other accessories are available in the Cuore store. Stay tuned, I will be posting the discount code in Shop Codes soon.
*Socks, warmers, base layer are under accessories tab.
*Note that the “default” sleeve length on short sleeve items is +4cm. You will get the longer custom length at no extra cost.
*Silver bib has been upgraded to the “top of the line” chamois. The same chamois as the Gold X1 bib.
*Bronze jerseys are a “relaxed” fit. More like an Eliel Solano/Laguna Seca
*Silver and Gold jerseys are a “race” cut. More like Eliel El Capitan.
*The Polo Shirt has the subtle “opaque” lightning bolt pattern on the small panel on the left breast. It does not show up in the shop image.
*All shorts, bibs, 2:1, and aero suits will have a “creative blue” stripe on the cuff, there will be no champion stripes on legs.
I really like having team gloves to wear.
I hope those become available soon.
Thank you,
Jack
For the custom length sleeves and shorts, how do you know where to start the +/- measurement from? I don't know what normal length is anymore since I started racing in the 80's, and prefer my tan lines higher. Any guidance on this?
Q: How does the vest sizing work? Typically in every brand of clothing I have ordered a size down, to avoid a floppy ill fitting vest. Is that the same with Cuore?
A: I wear Medium jerseys and vest. I could probably wear a small vest but it would be really tight. I do not feel that the vest is unusually loose. Today I wore an old Pactimo vest and it was too big, that is a brand I would go smaller.
A: Same size for the light vest (s), but for the thermal vest I actually sized up for the thermal.
Q: How is the Cuore fit compared to Eliel?
A: We've found that the bibs are comparably sized. Jerseys are bigger than Eliel by one size. For example... I am a medium jersey, small bib in Eliel. Small jersey, small bib in Cuore.
A: What we found, in general, bibs are about the same, Eliel jerseys run small compared to Cuore. I wear Eliel L top and M bottom. I wear Cuore M top and M bottom. I am 5’11”, 165-170, 40 chest, 32 waist. For 2:1 and aerosuits I had to size up to L at Eliel, M at Cuore.
