An exciting development in your cycling wardrobe.

Hi all,
With the Winter and cold and wet weather rapidly approching, the fine folks at MADmtb have been looking into some proper club winter cycling gear to keep you all warm, dry and looking great.

We'll have an exciting new range of:
-Water/windproof jerseys
-Bibshorts
-Thermal bibtights
-Windproof Gilets
-Arm and leg warmers


We should have items to try for sizing in a couple of weeks, but sizing is roughly the same your existing MAD jerseys, if anything a little bit larger. Both myself and Morgan tested Medium jerseys and they fitted fine, the tights are a little shorter.

In another exciting twist, we can confirm that women's specific versions of the club gear can be arranged, please just specify on the email.

In order to get some accurate pricing, we need you to give us an idea of what you're interested in and how many you'd like to order. The likely pricing is about €75 for the Jerseys, €35 for bibshorts, €45 for bibtights, €30 for Gilets and as usual, the more we order, the cheaper it gets.

Note that the Thermal bibtights are designed without a chamois, but are specially designed to fit perfectly with a standard cycling short/bibshort underneath.


We've checked out some samples and can confirm that the gear is good quality and is far better value than any similarly priced items you will find in the shops.

Please send an email stating what you'd like get along with your name, email, phone number and probable size to Sean as soon as possible so that we can get ordering before winter really sets in.

    Hi folks,
    As you may have guessed, we've put a lot of work into planning and organising this.
    But the orders have been very, very slow in coming. In fact, so slow that if you don't start piping up soon, we'll have to pull the plug on it altogether and nobody gets anything.
    I realise that some of you may be waiting to get some confirmation of sizes or to try on a sample size, but WE DO NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN BUYING. Sizes can be confirmed later, but without orders, we can't go any further.
    In terms of sizing, I'm 6 feet tall and skinny, I'll be ordering medium tops and large bottoms.

    I'd also like to remind you of the prices we're getting this for. You will struggle to find items of this quality for anywhere near our prices in the shops. Remember that winter is quickly approaching us and it won't be long before you all have to go out and find a new pair of tights, jackets or whatever it is you need to stay warm this winter.

    Get ordering!
    Email me!

    I've already contacted Sean and I'll be getting at least one of each thing.

    It is a lot cheaper then the shops and it is a whole lot more comfortable riding in the winter with proper gear! Remember (although I could be off on this) that this will be the main order for next years reacing gear too!

    Get replying to Sean!

    A couple of people have been asking if there'll be another oppurtunity to order this gear in the near future.
    The simple answer is NO, not for the foreseeable future. Things like this are only viable if its a bulk order, we can't go ordering a couple every month. So if you want to get your hands on club gear, YOU MUST ORDER NOW!

    Even if you don't intend ordering things, it would be nice to get an email from you stating so, so we know that we're not waiting on people.
    As I said yesterday, unless the orders start picking up, NOBODY GETS ANY OF THIS EXCELLENT VALUE, TOP QUALITY MAD CLUB GEAR.

    Hey Morgan, how's the fees coming in for the jersey order? (not the winter gear) hopefully you've got them ALL by now (hint hint for anyone outstanding).
