What Products Should My Team Get?
1. The Gold Standard
For most teams, we recommend starting with our Sport Cut Kit. This includes our Sport Cut Cycling Jersey and Prisma Shorts. The pattern is an American cut, so it fits most people comfortably, slightly loose but not baggy. We can easily translate the design from jersey to shorts for an unbeatable look on the bike.
2. The Upgrade
If your team is looking for a slight edge on the competition, we have an upgraded Nexas Kit. It features High Definition fabric, Mesh Panels, a rear zipper pocket, and reflective accents. The Nexas is also a sport cut jersey and fits slightly loose but not baggy. The upgraded fabrics give a prof appearance and feel without the tapered fit.
3. The Evo
The Evo is the perfect fit for those looking for something a bit more tapered and a professional level cut. This kit features upgraded Q3 Fabrics, Mesh paneling, Flat-lock stitching and laser cut grippers for the legs and arms. This premium level kit can easily be sized up if you’re looking for the elite level product with a looser fit.
I have my jerseys and shorts, now what?
You’ve chosen the kit, now complete the look. These accessory items can help with fundraising incentives, team branding in inclement weather, training, and to give your team that top-notch professional look.
- Wind Vest
This is the most versatile outerwear item. Lightweight and packable, the Primal Wind Vest is perfect for that early morning departure. It also can serve as an excellent apparel item for volunteers or can be used over any jacket to keep your teams brand on every rider. This vest protects the core from the elements without bogging you down with extra weight.
- Arm Warmers
Convert your jersey into a long sleeve with our thermal or light-weight Arm Warmers. This accessory can be easily stowed in a back pocket and brought out on descents, windy sections, or can be used to block the sun’s UV rays. Fully customizable, Arm Warmers are a great branding opportunity!
- Socks
Everyone Needs Socks.
Our fully customizable socks come in three different lengths; Tall, Mid, and Short. Team members will love them and so will all your support crew. Keep everyone’s feet happy with custom Socks.
- Hoodies
The hoodie is our top selling outerwear item because it is excellent on and off the bike. It gives your riders the ability to show off the teams colors the other 363 days of the year. It quickly becomes your favorite jacket and looks great in all settings.
Key takeaways:
- Get the product that best suits the riders on your team.
- Don't be afraid to go for a different fit. Going a size up to wear a premium product is not a bad thing. Just because a product was designed for a Professional Athlete, it doesn't mean it won't fit you. Our sizes can go up to 5x in most cases.
- Low minimums on most products give you the flexibility to try out products for your team and see if there is interest. There is no obligation to buy a product, so let Primal design it and test the waters. We are totally fine with the toe dip. Not everyone likes to jump right in.
Fundraising Incentives?
Can you use apparel for fundraising incentives? Yep! We work with several teams that require a minimum fundraising amount to earn the privilege to purchase an accessory or they award their team members for hitting certain fundraising milestones. It’s a great way to thank them for their efforts and give them recognition for their commitment to helping the cause.
