ChampSys Store Master Thread [Last Minute Team Gear & Casual EN Stuff]
Kids! Excited to roll out a new gear option for you all. ChampSys is a great option for us to fulfill your last-minute, mid-season, I-missed-the-annual-super-high-quality-gear-order. Gear options include Tri Kit, Cycling Kit, Running Gear, Run Shorts, Long Sleeve Shirts, Wind breaker jackets and even socks.
Please read the stuff below.
Here's How It Works
Every Champ-Sys order for the TEAM has a 10 piece minimum. A piece can be anything listed in the store...down to a pair of socks. So we can run orders frequently.
The store is open for set periods; we will start out on a 30-Day cycle right now, through March 29th 2019. When the store closes, the order is placed and then it's anywhere from a 4- to 6-week turn around depending on what you've ordered and how busy the production situation is.
When you order, you can choose to be a part of the group buy (ships to RI and I ship it out, billing you my cost after delivery)..This will be cheaper but could add another 7 to 10 days to your order. In a rush? You can pay $30 at check out to get it sent direct to you from the Champ-Sys factory overseas.
How You Order
Option 1: When you go to the store, you'll see a sheet of gear images in the center of the page. These are all the items we have actual proofs for and can be made. So you can click on the image to see run gear, Chose the type of gear you want From the first pop up, then you will be shown the proof / example. Choose the one you want by entering the quantity you want in the right sizing box and add to your cart. Simple.
Ordering a cycling jersey? You can choose from casual to race level gear in EN colors...your call.
Like any EN gear order, please be sure to review the sizing details before you order as you get what you get.
Option 2: You can click through ALL the gear options in the left side bar. If you choose an item that does not have a proof yet, it will be sent to EN for approval first so you don't get some random thing. If you don't like it we can always cancel that. This is if you want Men's Capri Running Lycra, for example...in EN colors. I am assuming this will be a non-issue for most! 🤣

FAQ
But, I just bought some amazeballs cycling kit..what's this?
Yes, we have Castelli as our preferred Cycling and Tri Race Kit vendor, but we can only feasibly do one order a year given the cost, required minimums and turn around time. ChampSys lets folks order stuff in May, for example, rather than waiting until November to order for the next season.
What do you mean by different "types" of cycling jerseys?
You actually read what I wrote ^above^? Mind. Blown. 🤣 Not everyone wants skin tight cycling jerseys that accentuate their 16pack abs. Now you can order the gear that fits your budget and your comfort zone.
I ignored the sizing chart and ordered a monkey ton of stuff that won't fit me. What do I do?
Your best best is to reach to to the Team and see if someone can take if off your hands using the forums or GroupMe. If you are genuinely concerned about sizing, then maybe wait for a few folks to get their kit first to see their feedback?
How Often will the Store Open?
As of March 2019, our plan is to run the store every month and we'll see what the minimums look like.

Nice! Socks!
@Dave Tallo Keeping it real yo...
Almost cool enough to get me to wear socks!
Lots of nice stuff in there. Not as sweet as the Castelli, but this is a great addition.
Nice job, Mariah and Patrick.
HOODIES!
Exciting stuff!
Geez LewWheez, I just finally verified my correct Castelli size and if I read this right, there won't be a Castelli order before Kona?
Paul other orders are TBD, but a high-end deal like Castelli is hard to put together....
Oh! That Orange Mud gear vest looks tempting!
The Orange Mud gear vest looks sweet (and they have really nice stuff). Done!
I've always wanted/needed an EN Polo shirt. Done!
3 pairs of EN socks. Done!
Extra EN bike Jersey (because you can never have too many). Done!

@John Withrow Thanks for shopping!!!! 👍
This looks amazing! Socks, Scicon bag , gear vest.....wow!
@Abbey Bonner - All the things you need to be Roth Ready!!! 🤣
This is great stuff! $352 later...
I might be doing something wrong here - can someone please help me out? I love the proofs but when I click to order (ex: running tops) it takes me to a page with general running tops, not those from EN. See below if it helps. What am I doing wrong. #helpmehelpyoutakemymoney
@Julia Herrmann - I've been here b4, Champ sys is a bit confusing. if you look at the layout sheet, there are different layouts for the different named jerseys. Apex, tech pro, etc... choose that from the page you see with the different logos.
then you have to pick your cut, pro or club, you can see a description for all things champion here -

Oh mah gawd, got it now. Wow, yes. Holy confusing Batman. Thank you so much Scott!!
one last question... Apologies to everyone I’m bothering here. Wanted to order the running skirt, but couldn’t get it to pull up appropriately with the modified protocol (above). I can only get knickers or shorts not the skirt specifically. Everything else went a-ok!
@Julia Herrmann Find the skirt and order it regardless of art, P or Mariah will get a document to proof and approve before order goes through per what I read.
@scott dinhofer I think that the issues is the art is there but there is no way to select the skirt.
I’ll bump them on the skirt now!!
@Coach Patrick - did some stuff disappear? I remember seeing the orange mud vest the day this was announced(and the scicon bike case with EN logo), now it's not up ^^there^^ ? or was it somewhere else?
Yes, thank you everyone! Janyne is correct. No skirt to be found past the art. And curious about the orange mud vest now too... 🧐 😃
The Orange Mud order is separate, @scott dinhofer, in an email that@Mariah Bridges sent. I ordered an Orange Mud vest right away! I'm still deciding what sizes of stuff I should get for the ChampionSys stuff -- and what my budget it 😉

thank you @Janyne Kizer !
I have so many questions!
Thanks for your help and patience. I really hate ordering gear without trying it on. Last year I ordered from Pactimo -- tri top was XL and running top was S. What?!
@Janyne Kizer
I hope that this helps!
Order submitted! ... Jersey, Warmers, Socks ... oh my!
@Rory Gumina Nicely done!! March order closes this FRIDAY! ⏰
March Order is closed and IN PRODUCTION...I'll keep you all posted...
