We're running a 2nd order of our club jerseys due to mass appeal.
Cutaway makes a fabulous jersey. If you're uncertain on sizing, I would caution you to order 1 size up. Please view size chart.

Minimum jersey order is 6 per cut. Order what you want and if we don't meet the min, we'll email you and give a chance to switch cuts as needed.

These caps are fantastic (min order #10). The brim stays flipped up on fast descents.

We did a female jersey order on the first run. If there's more interest in fem jerseys, holler and we'll load it back up for ya.

WAKE UP and smell the LANTISEPTIC! The AIR jersey webstore closes at midnight EST! Historically, AIR jersey orders only occur on the same year of a solar eclipse over our brevet region.
