Elverys Cycling Gear

TonyStark

Seeing it's silly season again and the third Sunday in September approaches. Anyone have any experience of the Elvery's County colours cycling gear? What are they like in terms of quality? Anyone bought them before? Waterproof\Windproof seems a bold claim for 55 spons.

I was looking for something long sleeved as the winter sets in. I don't think my wife would have allowed it to be red and green as the roads are dangerous enough already! The crest is discreet enough.

No experience of wearing it but it's an Oneills product so have a look at their website. They have non county cycling clothing too so there might be a bit more information.

Can you get it in a different colour ?

They only seem to do cycling county jerseys for Mayo, Meath, Tipperary and Kilkenny.

They used to (around two years ago) have a lot more counties as far as I know. I enquired with O'Neills customer service back then for a present and they said that they'd stopped making the other counties due to lack of demand. A pity, it's a nice idea - particularly with the history of the Rás and the role of the counties. Plus it's a good way to show the colours!

Well whatever about Mayo, Tip, and Kilkenny, it would be unusual to see a Meath GAA jersey being worn after mid June. Couldn't resist! !!

The O'Neill's factory shop on the Naas Road had a rake of them discounted a couple of months ago. Not sure if they still do, but worth a shot.

And I thought the lads wearing their GAA shorts over lycra were bad enough ....
