Custom Kona Castelli Kits 



Say THAT 5 times fast!!! 

Ok Kona peeps - because of the nature of waiting until the last minute for everyone who qualifies this order always goes super fast. It takes about 6 weeks to produce (Im going to grease the wheels for 5) and its 8 weeks to Kona 

The above picture is the kit 

Free Tri Short - $95

Stealth Top - $105 

Head over to Castelli for sizing.

I need to know by EOB THIS THURSDAY August 18 if you are IN 

I need to know your size 

 

- Mahalo!

    Just to throw my 2 cents in... This kit is SICK!!! (and I mean that in the best of ways)...

    I'm in for one of each!  Hope this works so I can represent EN.  Medium on both..

    Oh...and this kit matches MUCH better than P's wheels in Kona.

    Jeremy - last year I raced in small shorts and medium shirt, and that medium was skin tight on me.

    Medium Shorts and Large Top fit me perfect.  Snug, but perfect for aero...

    this is what is in the mail for me.    only tall guy suit.     I think it meets company guidelines.

    This kit is perfect for Kona. Eliminated sun burn, super aero (no flapping) and now you can swim in them in the ocean (had to put it on in T1 last year = no bueno). Literally nothing bad to say about it other than it doesn't fit me right now. image

    Any concern wearing it in the salt water and it causing chaffing, etc?

    If not, why wouldn't I just wear my LG M2 aero suit?

    Great looking kits! Unfortunately, I'm currently a sponsored athlete in my local tri club. In return for free swag, I wear their kit. If you're looking for me on TV, I'm the guy wearing a Forward Motion kit image

    No concerns on it with salt water...it's a better kit. But you can wear the other one if you want? Let us know...

    Tom. We've put up with you for years...that has to count for something...one of these days you'll wear EN...
  • JeremyBehlerJeremyBehler

    Also...what's the recommended lid for Kona?  I have a Bell Javelin that fits great and is super aero but my guess would be too hot in Kona.

    Thanks for the heads up, Mariah.  You can put me down for just the shorts in a size small.  I plan on wearing my Castelli top from my local bike shop sponsor.
  • John WithrowJohn Withrow
    Mariah-- I'll be in for a size Medium shorts (to replace the ones I tore when I wrecked in Wisconsin). They'll likely sit in the package for a couple years until I have a good reason to wear them... Seriously love that kit.

    @Jeremy-- 3 reasons:
    1) The Castelli is faster than the M2
    2) It is the most comfortable kit you will ever wear
    3) it says Kona on it!

    Jeremy - Full Kit 

    Rich - Full Kit 

    Withrow - Bottom

    Mark - Bottom

    Mariah, I am definitely in for a Kona racing kit but have no idea how to size it and am incompetent on negotiating the castelli site to size properly.  My Garneau racing kit for IMLP was Extra large delfino top for the run and large bike jersey and shorts for the bike.  I changed everything during transition.  Want to wear body kit for first time at Kona but still have to work on my solution for severe chaffing and ulcers on bike so ..... figure I need large bike shorts but the top??? Large or extra large.  Can any one help - I am 6' 4" and 180 lbs.  So looking forward to the EN mojo and camaraderie at Kona.  Rick

    If you don't fill out an order, I'm willing to loan my Medium shirt and/or Small shorts to anyone for the race. But let me know before the end of the month, as I will leave town then and be unable to send out after that.

    As you can tell we did not make minimum order for these kits - There are still other kits available in the store if you want something new but I hope you are all planning on representing EN some way on the island! We will have EN goodies for you of course but it is A MILLION TIMES EASIER to spot you on the course if somewhere on your body is EN! Thank you for representing and we can't wait to party island style!
