The uniform store for 2026 is now open! If you did not receive an email from Tony with order placement instructions, please let me know (president@chicotriathlonclub.com). You can also check the website or the CTC Facebook page for more information.

Hey CTC members! 

The uniform store for 2026 is now open. We are excited to be featuring a new vendor: Verge Sport. Please look at the ordering instructions below for the link to the store. 

This is an initial club order and the prices you see now reflect a 10 % discount. The discount will expire at 11:59 PM on Sunday March 22. You will still be able to order if you miss the window, but it will be at the normal cost. I cannot extend the discount if you miss it. Orders should be delivered about 3-4 weeks after the initial order closes. All orders will be shipped directly to you. 

If you were able to make it to our Season Launch Party, hopefully you took the time to try on the fit kits. The kits tend to run small so I suggest  ordering a size larger than you normally wear.  The size chart is also reflective of this, so be sure to look at that prior to ordering as well. I have included links below for the size charts and fit guide. 

All of the products on the site will be in our club artwork. A few of the icons are still showing the Verge artwork. Don't worry, our cool design is what you're getting. 

If you were lucky enough to have won a uniform credit certificate at the Launch Party, please let me know when you have ordered. I will work with you and the CTC treasurer to get you reimbursed. 

Thank you, 

Tony English

ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:

To enter the team store go to the link here:

https://shop.vergesport.com//Account/PreviewTeamstore?passwordHash=fPHw7D1xV79Yh%2bMA7sUHXw%3d%3d

If prompted for a password, please check your email. 

Make sure you are logged into your individual Verge customer account before you start adding items to your cart! You can login or create a new customer account by hovering over the “person” icon in the upper right corner of the screen and clicking “Create Account”.

Shop as desired and when you’re ready to check out click on the cart icon in the upper right. 

Everyone should make sure to measure themselves carefully and use the sizing chart before ordering. Our clothing is “European fit” and may run smaller than many US brands or what you might be familiar with buying retail cycling clothing online or in a bike shop. 

Verge sizing was updated in 2023, so anyone that has not ordered since then should DEFINITELY re-check their sizing.

Sizing charts are HERE.

A jersey comparison guide is HERE.

An outerwear guide is HERE.

A fit guide is HERE.

Jerseys are designed to fit as follows:

TRI TOPS AND SUITS = Top-end race. SKINTIGHT fit.

STRIKE/FLANDERS = Race/serious enthusiast. Snug, close, body-hugging fit. Not skintight but close.

PRIME/THERMAL = Looser, touring type fit. Not quite a “true” club cut, but extra room throughout for comfort. This is still a somewhat close, athletic cut. If you like a very loose-fitting jersey, or T-shirt like fit, you may want to size up.

CLASSIC = Very relaxed fit and a popular choice for one-day events and charity rides.

If you want your jersey to be tighter or looser than the designed fit for the specific product line, you might need size up or down accordingly.

Outerwear is designed with a looser fit suitable for layering. If you prefer outerwear with a tighter or looser fit than designed, you might need size up or down accordingly.

There are no returns on custom clothing so it’s really important customers use the sizing chart before ordering. Customers definitely SHOULD NOT just order the same size they are used to in another company’s sizing.

Happy Shopping,

Tony English - CTC Uniform Chair
