Hi!
A few weeks ago we launched the new Supershirt 2.0.
We knew that demand would be high, but we didn't expect to sell out quite as quickly as we did.
If you bought one, thank you.
If you are waiting for one, our restock is in progress right now.
Here's a few questions and comments we've picked up on our socials and Helpdesk so far.
"Is it stab proof as well? Asking for a friend in Brixton"
- Robert
Er no Robert. Please tell your friend that The Supershirt 2.0 is designed to protect him if he falls off his bike, not if he gets mugged in south London.
"Mine came the other day - literal game changer, and will become a bike staple. Can't believe something this light and soft could potentially save me some skin 👏👏 very impressed!"
- Dan
That's great to hear Dan. I hope it doesn't ever have to save your skin, but it's good to know it's been properly crash tested by our stuntman Rob.
"Supershirt 2.0 and air flow armour arrived yesterday, super fast postage and I'm sure cheaper than the original was?"
- Aiden
Yes, we worked really hard to make smart decisions that helped to bring the price down. By moving our fabric production to the UK, sourcing new armour, and shipping with the Flow chest and back armour as optional extras we are able to make The Supershirt 2.0 more affordable than ever.
"Any thoughts about expanding to do some women’s sizes?"
- Lorna
Our first batch of Supershirt 2.0 included size S, which sold out quickly. We can see that smaller and female riders are enjoying the potential of The Supershirt 2.0. We are in the process of making and testing size XS which we think will work well for female riders in particular. If all goes as planned these could be with us in summer 2025.
"The Supershirt, Baltic, Linesman and Singeltrack cover just about every single riding condition."
- Marc
That's exactly why we designed The Supershirt in the first place.
Marc raises a really good point about the freedom that The Supershirt creates. By putting on your CE AA protection first, all of a sudden your options for layering to the conditions you are riding in are endless.
Personally, I love the Supershirt 2.0 and Linesman Jacket combo.
If it's hot. Supershirt 2.0 and Linesman Jacket with sleeves off.
If it's comfortable. Supershirt 2.0 and Linesman Jacket. Open or close chest and back vents to regulate cooling.
If it's cold. Add the Baltic Hybrid or Insulated underneath.
If it's windy or wet. Add the Singletrack or Aqua Pac Jacket over the top.
We have a limited amount of Linesman Jacket stock in our UK, EU and USA stores right now, and our Supershirt 2.0 rolling restock is in process. If we don't have your Supershirt size today, the chances are it will be restocked between now and May.
If you made it this far, thanks for giving me a little of your time today.
I know it's precious.
