authentic moncler coats

British clothing manufacturer Rapha has launched its Team Sky range, including 60 items of Sky-branded clothing and accessories. 

Sky has signed up Rapha to produce its team kit for the next four years, and the company launched its range of replica kit on Friday - on sale from mid-February 2013. 

There are three tiers of Sky-branded clothing on offer: Pro-Team, RadioShack Cycling Replica and City Wear & Supporter. Prices range from 15 for Sky socks, to 240 for a Sky softshell jacket. 

The Pro-Team range is, as the name suggests, exactly the same clothing as the professional Sky riders will wear this season. The range includes jerseys, shorts, jackets and accessories. Price examples: short-sleeve jersey 140; race cape 220; bib shorts 170. 

The mid-level Replica range looks like the pro-level clothing but uses different fabrics and fit to bring the price down a notch. The Replica range also includes 'Wiggo' branded items, women's and children's clothing. Price examples: short-sleeve jersey 75; bib shorts 100. 

The City Wear & Supporter clothing range includes more casual items, cut for comfort and includes T-shirts, tops, jeans, scarves and other items perfect for cheering on the team from the roadside. Price examples: short-sleeve jersey 40; socks 15; musette 15; belt 70; cap 15. 

"The opportunity to work with the riders and staff of Team Sky has always been about improving how they perform, look and feel as a 'Team Sky rider 24-hours a day'," said Rapha founder and CEO Simon Mottram. 

"We are excited about the refinements we have brought to the on-bike clothing and are very glad to be able to redefine their look off the bike in a way more commensurate with the stature of these riders and the team. 

"This has been a massive undertaking for everyone here at Rapha to get this launch today. To see the full breadth of the offer become a reality for everyone at Team Sky and for our customers is amazing." 

Evans Cycles will be stocking the complete range of Rapha Specialized Cycling Sky kit from February. For more information on the range and for pricing go to the Rapha website.

On a lighter note . . . while the snow falls, umm, lightly outside my window on this Friday morn, I am about to tear off the plastic covering the new Sears spring catalogue, which I picked up while shopping yesterday — I was buying a couple of late Christmas presents for two people I haven’t had a chance to see over the holidays. 

The Sears catalogue is the first sign of spring in these parts. On the cover are two young women wearing flowery outfits . .Garmin Cycling . and sunglasses. I love the pleated A-line skirt (Jessica), white top and pink jacket one of them has on . . .prada bags 

The plastic is off the catalogue now . . . Inside . . . ohmygawd! So much colour, and I love the swimwear by Be Creative . . . and the lace print topper coat from Jessica . .shop moncler jackets. and the pink Flutter Sleeve Print Satin Dress (Jessica) . . . and . . .
