Ok, so everyone can use the above chart for sizing.
The items we're ordering are all 'unisex' items. i.e., there are no male or female specific items on our list. This is quite common among tri/cycling clubs.
There will be the option when choosing padding for cycling/tri shorts to choose m or f.
Thanks, Niall.

I just can't imagine how they'd fit well. I will come and try though!

Also disappointed that its unisex. I see the little drawing on chart is more male than unisex. Would be reluctant to purchase. Is there any feedback from women who attended on the sizing & fit?

Ellen. It was better than I expected. The speed suit in Small fitted very well and I'd definitely buy it I needed one. There were women's cycling shorts which were also good, but they were actually women's sizes. The XS mens long sleeve cycling shirt was only ok. The sleeves were too long and it was a bit loose around the shoulders, as mens stuff usually is on me. I spent a good bit of time talking to the Velo guy. (When I say talking, I was in a complaining mood... ) He said that he can never sell women's sizes as people don't order them.

Helen, I was in touch with Niall and he followed up with Velo Revolution. I understand that a women's specific cycling jersey & womens tri suit (short sleeve) will now be offered. Presumably we will also have women specific sizing for winter gear. I am sure Niall will post up details on sizing & when sample sizes can be tried for summer order. In my opinion, it would not be satisfactory to work with a supplier unwilling to provide women specific sizing & I am glad that this issue has now been rectified.

Liked the quality of their gear, will hold out on ordering the tri suit until sample ladies sizes are available!

Hey all.
I have some samples of the Tri Suit and the cycling jerseys. I'll have them with me at UCD tomorrow, Thursday evening at the run and then again at UCD swim on Friday. I'm in the pool from 6-7 so can have them around at the 'breakfast'!
Hope this helps.
Thanks, Niall.

On behalf of all the Belpark women, I did some trying on this morning:
Short sleeve cycling jersey: Medium was ok on me but slightly loose so I'll be going for Small. The back was nice and long. (This was not the type with the speed suit style sleeves which was available at the gear fit evening. It had a normal cuff on the sleeves. Niall will know what one it was.) Tri-suit: Small was a bit too short in body length although I could get into it ok. Large was a bit loose on top but length was ok. There wasn't a Medium to try on but I'd be ordering a Medium if I was to get one.
For those who don't know me, I'm 175cm tall, size 10 normally, unless it's a full body item where I need the length in which case I'd go for a 12. I'm a 36 in Zoggs, TYR and Dolfin swimsuits.

Hi Helen, thanks for sizing advice. Did you also try the women’s cycling shorts? What size would you get on these?
