Ladies: FWIW, I have a pair of Capo Cycling Shorts (bought them a few years ago, don't know the exact style, but the waist line matches the above). Anyway- they are my favorite cycling shorts - very comfy. I own a pair of Medium and fall in-between sizes S/M. I'd say focus on the hip measurement vs the waist measurement if you are looking to order a pair.
Coach Rich - may I ask what size you wear for your cycling kit? I'm close to your stats @ 5'8" and 158 - 163 lbs. and I wear a 40" jacket and a 29-31 waist.
I ask because have a capo kit I purchased here at the Tour of Dubai and I feel it's Euro Sizing as it a Large on both the bibs and jersey. It fits super snug and does feel like the larges back in the states.
The model of Capo kit we're getting is a not a super skinny EU cut. I've been wearing a large but will go down to a medium. I'm currently about 162lb, plan to stay here or <158lb</p>
so will there be a short sleeved aero tri top at some point ?
Robin,
We just finished a complete redesign of all of our gear, building a new store, and are currently running a sale on all of this, encouraging everyone to buy their gear for '16 now. To be completely honest, I don't think that we or the Team have the bandwidth or the broad interest to offer specialized items like this, not at this time. As I've said, at some point we will organize a one-time order for the one-piece LG tri suit that Jeremy, a couple others and I raced Ironman Wisconsin in this year, but I can't say when that will happen.
Coach, Thanks for organizing the new store. I just ordered some bibs and agree they are the way to go when riding outside. Do you really have a stack of unsold tri-shorts? I'll send you a pay pal for a couple pairs if you want to get rid of them. I need some new ones anyway and do like them for trainer/treadmill work.

I need to get our old inventory of stuff shipped to TS so I can see what we have and make that available for sale at blow out prices, to clear it out. I'll update everyone when that happens.
Yep, interested in some old tri shorts. Down south (Mississippi Gulf Coast), just about all of the regional triathlons (Oly and below) allow for shirtless competition, because it's too HOT/HUMID. Although I plan to get some, the bib shorts and associated cycle jerseys are just not practical for training and/or competition down here.
I've spoken to customer service on the website concerning shipping of my order (3 tshirts) and they told me to 'ask EN' because all orders are still in the 'pre-order' status. I've read this entire thread multiple times and the only answer concerning shipping of gear is Rich's response of 06 Dec and I still cannot find whatever previous guidance on shipping that post refers to. My question is are 'all' order (regardless of what they are) going to be shipped at the same time as the yet to be made tri/cycling gear is (February 2016-ish) or will stuff like tshirts be shipped earlier / later / different? My grand plan of having stuff under the tree has obviously failed. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
Ditto! I've spoken to them 3 times as well, and each time they said they would call me back - but never did. I'm pretty bummed about the Xmas presents that are not there:-(
New product suggestion: A bennie hat for winter. As a mostly bald guy, I need to wear a hat every time I run. I spend a lot of hours in the cold and snow of Michigan and would enjoy having an EN winter hat that covers my poor little baby ears and keeps my bald head warm. Thanks
My n=1 experience is no. I ordered a couple things off the site unrelated to EN and those things arrived in 2 days. The EN specific stuff is listed as back order. So, if you order non-en things, I think they come separately and right away.
Sorry I missed these posts so close to Xmas, as I wasn't actively monitoring this thread. Here's an update:
Our entire order of shirts had to be redone, as the quality of the printing was not there. The shirts (good) are now in stock, about a month or more later than expected.
Hats and visors are in stock
I'll work with TS to have ^these^ items shipped out separate from the tri and cycling kit, with EN covering the additional cost of the extra shipping.
Shipment of tri and cycling kit will probably start mid-late March.
I ordered a small amount of cycling inventory and bigger amount of tri inventory so that we should be able to satisfy "most" orders throughout the year

This is a great move. TriSports has outstanding customer service. Nice!
