SUFFERLANDRIAN NATIONAL TEAM GEAR

NATIONAL TEAM JERSEY

You needn't say how you've been training. The design of our National Team jersey speaks for itself. Our national motto: IWBMATTKYT makes a discreet statement on the left chest and back of the collar to let everyone know you've been beating some ass lately. 'SUFFER' and 'OBEY' on each shoulder leave no room for doubt on how you'll treat this training session.

This jersey is super-light and designed for warm-weather comfort. It's made by Champion Systems and features side mesh panels and luxurious flat lock stitching. Three deep pockets in the rear are adorned with the Sufferlandrian National Flag. Class.

NATIONAL TEAM BIBSHORTS

Our bib shorts are black, with white sides and a red back. 'The Sufferfest' features on the sides and the Sufferface on the back serves as a mirror to the rider behind you. A discreet 'Everybody Hurts' on the back of the right leg offers a degree of sympathy to, and solidarity with, others.

The material choices are world-class. The fabrics provide a cool and comfortable feel with the same lightweight mesh as on the jersey sides for the bibs themselves. The ErgoPro chamois is a seamless, 3-layer, 4-way stretch, air-channeled pad. The thighs end with silicon gel gripper bands so they're not riding up when you're dropping it into the big ring.

A 'communications' rear pocket is a pro touch, allowing you to stow your iPod or race radio with ease.

NATIONAL TEAM SKINSUIT

It's like bringing a machine gun to a knife fight. The Sufferlandrian National Team Skinsuit, made by Champion Systems, is one fast piece of equipment. This suit combines the aerodynamics of a skinsuit with the breathability of a jersey, making it the perfect suit for longer events.

• The entire upper and short side panels are made from exclusive CS Tech Mesh, a breatheable stretch mesh fabric for increased ventilation. Fantastic for hot weather. Looks amazing, too.
• Two rear pockets and an interior pocket up by the neck.
• Superb leg grippers with Champion's unique dot gripper technology.

NATIONAL TEAM WINDVEST

There was that time, when you had broken away on the Galibier. You had, what, two minutes on the chasers? You crossed the summit alone. Glory waited in the valley for you with open arms. And so you went over the other side. Descending like flowing water. You forgot about the wind and the cold that day, didn't you? But they didn't forget you.

If only you had a Sufferfest vest with you then...you never would have frozen up, you never would have got caught, you never would have asked your director to pry your hands from your bars as you collapsed in tears.

Don't let it happen again. The Sufferfest Wind Vest not only rhymes conveniently, but is made by our friends at Champion Systems, official gear of Sufferlandria. In stunning black with 'fest logo on the front and sides with the acronym that means so much to us all - IWBMATTKYT - on the back. This is seriously PRO. It packs up small so it fits in your rear pocket when you don't need it. The front keeps every little draft out, while the high collar keeps you comfortable. Full length zip with zipper puller. A mesh back lets the heat out and a zippered slot allows you to reach in and access your jersey pockets.

NATIONAL TEAM TRIATHLON

Among those who like to swim, bike and run, nothing strikes fear into the heart of competitors quite like the sight of a Sufferlandrian emerging from the water. Perhaps the only thing more frightening is the sight of said Sufferlandrian throwing down the power on the bike.

Our Sufferlandrian National Team Trisuit, made by our partners Champion Systems, includes:

• 3/4 invisible zipper
• Seamless, quick-dry pad - perfect for cycling and doesn't get in the way of your running
• Superb silicon gripper legs
• Champion's dry feel, water-repellent stretch fabric
• Unlimited supply of badassness

Sufferlandrian National Champion's Jersey

When the peloton goes by, you can see them. The National Champions. They stand out from all the riders wearing standard issue kit. They are resplendent.  The national colours wrapped around their torsos remind you of the glory of their nation. They ARE their nation. And they are badass because THEY WON. Other riders look on in envy. They, too, wish they could stand out. That they could stand for something. That they could represent their country in a way that few ever do.

Our Sufferlandrian National Champion's Jersey. The Red, White and Black wrapped around the torso. The Bleeding Eyes looking out from the chest. Honour and Glory on the arms. Sufferlandria on the back. Mesh sides, lycra sleeves, full length zip, three long rear pockets. If you've ever suffered and won anything in your life, whether it was a race, a personal best over your favourite training road or a sprint to the top of Alpe d'Huez against Alberto Contador, then this is the jersey for you.

RACE CUT : IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT VERY VERY TIGHT, ORDER ONE SIZE BIGGER.

IWBMATTKYT ARM WARMERS

Through the mist and down the descent, across the valley. Now the pace has picked up. The cool air that they've protected you from gives way. And there is the moment on the ride when you start to roll these down. They come to a rest around your wrists. It's then that the rest of the group knows you mean business. It's IWBMATTKYT time.

Our Sufferlandrian National Team Arm Warmers are made for us exclusively by Champion Systems. Featuring all lycra construction and a special 'dot' gripper technology to hold them firmly in place on your upper arms. Unlimited Badassness included.

SUFFERLANDRIAN NATIONAL FLAG

SHOW YOUR NATIONAL COLOURS

Pride in one's country. The Sufferlandrian National Flag.

Measuring 150x90cm (3ft by 5ft), it's big enough to tie to a big, big stick and fly high above the crowd when you're next along the roadside at the Tour of Flanders or Paris-Rouabix. Or on the back of your car at your next race.

It's also not so big that you can't hang it on the wall in your Bike Torture Chamber. Or maybe in your living room as a, uh, conversation piece when guests come round.

Flag is bound at end and has two grommets for running up flagpoles.

GALLERY

SUFFERFEST DECALS

IT’S OK FOR ADULTS TO WANT DECALS. REALLY.

Think of them as band-aids for your soul. Or warning signs to those who dare ride beside you of what you've been doing while out of sight. The Sufferfest decal pack. Includes bumper sticker, large IWBMATTKYT and a set of small assorted decals. Perfect for cars. Laptops. Bikes. Stems. iPhones. Or coffee mugs.

These are not paper. They are very high-quality, no-fade, water resistant, 3M material with long-lasting adhesive (but which are easy to take off with no residue).

GALLERY

Winter Jacket

It's cold outside, but you've got some ass kicking to do. Our absolutely stunning Sufferlandrian National Team jacket is perfect for your late fall and early winter rides. When it's between 17c/62f and 10c/50f, we wear it with a normal jersey underneath. From 9c/48f to 0c/32f, we wear it with a long sleeve base layer and jersey. Below that, you really should be training indoors to the Sufferfest.

Made by Champion System, it features a Thermoshield front - that's a three-layer, wind-proof, fleece-lined front that keeps the wind and chill out. The rest of the jacket is lined with Tech-Fleece, which is soft and warm on the inside and smooth on the outside. Obey and Suffer on the shoulders and large IWBMATTKYTs on the lower sleeves let everyone know why you're out in such ferocious temperatures. Three long rear pockets.

GALLERY

Bleeding Eyes Rain Jacket

The riders make way as you ride up through the pack. It's respect. They recognise you - they see your National Team colours. They know you're a Sufferlandrian.

Then the rain comes down. The rain jackets come on. The Sufferlandrian Team Car drives up. Hands you your rain jacket. While other riders disappear into anonymity underneath jackets which hide their team kit, you emerge. With your Bleeding Eyes Clear Rain Jacket, the others still know - make way for the Sufferlandrian.

Welcome to a revolution in clear rain jacket technology.  Unlike clear rain jackets of the past, which were more like heavy-duty garbage bags, our seamless clear rain jacket not only stops the rain and wind from getting in, but it's BREATHABLE.  Constructed using Seamless Technology from Champion System, the entire jacket has bonded seams, rather than the traditional sewn seams which can leak and let in drafts. Mesh underarms. Bleeding Eyes featured on the upper right chest. The result?  Increased circulation and improved comfort. And you can still see that gleaming Sufferlandrian kit underneath. You win. The weather loses. So do the non-Sufferlandrians.

Bleeding Eyes Hoodie

In casual settings, amongst non-Sufferlandrians, its appropriate to be discreet. This will attract curious stares. Sufferlandrians will recognize you as one of their own, and nod approvingly. Non-Sufferlandrians will wonder furtively and look away when your gaze catches theirs. Our Bleeding Eyes hoodie, made by Champion System, has the beautiful Bleeding Eyes embroidered on the upper right chest.  It's perfect for coffee shops, lounging around the service course, getting your team debriefing before the race start or doing alpine climb recon. Made from a heavy warm fleece material and with a ribbed bottom for a perfect fit. Two side pockets. A clever collar inside the hood keeps drafts out at chilly start villages.

GALLERY

Sufferlandrian 'Bleeding Eyes' Cap

Standing at the race registration table, they will look away. Those in front of you will see the Bleeding Eyes and come to terms with a harsh reality - a Sufferlandrian is here. Those behind you will note the mantra: IWBMATTKYT. And realise that tomorrow has come. In casual settings, non-Sufferlandrians will be educated. They might not understand, but they will know.

Our cap is the heavyweight, top-of-the-line from Champion Systems. All logos are embroidered for maximum class. One size fits all.

GALLERY

Cycling Cap

Over in the corner of the team bus, a rider gets ready. Team kit slipped on. Shoes cleaned and tightened. And as the rider heads out of the bus and over to the stage for sign-in, one last essential item is picked up and slipped on. The Sufferfest Bleeding Eyes cap. IWBMATTKYT on the back and bill, and the Bleeding Eyes on the front. Pulled down low, the rider makes his way to the stage. The crowd parts. Gasps. Here is, surely, the favourite.

Our cap is made by our partners at Champion System.  Four panels and one size fits all. Black and white. The graphics are sublimated - not screen printed. So they're not going to fade or peel, even if you throw it in the washer again and again. They're there for the life of the hat. Which is a very long time, indeed.

GALLERY

Tattoos

As the rider behind you slowly, painfully slips off your wheel - they'll be able to do nothing but look at your leg. It's like neon and they silently chant it over and over as they fall further and further back. It burns their morale. Suddenly, the elastic snaps and they're gone. But you're hardly gone from their memory. They'll never forget.

You're surely thinking of a real tattoo. But our temporary tattoos will give you the chance to test out where and how you want it. Each pack includes ELEVEN tats:

• 5 IWBMATTKYT
• 3 Sufferlandrian Flags
• 3 Sufferfest Logos

Super safe and easy to apply - just put them on your skin, rub a wet cloth over it, wait 30 seconds and - there you go - instant badassness. They last about a week and a bit.
