It's proper.

Looks good, you definitely look the part!

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Purple, gray or pink bike - tomato red or fishing green waterproof bottoms - orange or yellow high viz waterproof jacket - bright red skateboard type helmet
Bikes always spotless

 

[black'n'yellow]

Is that Chinese clothing or legitimate team kit?

neither..

 

[derrick]

neither..

It's proper castelli.

derrick, maybe you made this choice knowingly, many people do since Castelli is generally small sizewise, but I think you could size down in the jersey if you wanted, Castelli kit is generally cut small, especially in the front, feels a bit daft when standing up, but on the bike, there is no bunching at the front and the pockets are placed in the small of your back (rather than your arse). IMO it really enhances comfort on the bike.

(I have a fair bit of Castelli kit, it cost's a fark tonne but IMO, it really is worth the money for the superior fit and material's used, especially the speed suits and the body paint bib shorts!)

The next size down was to tight, my other half wears one size down and it's not comfatable.

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

I do colour coordinated pretty well
The Bike, bottles, helmet, bib shorts, jersey all match (kit and bottles are official team products, given to me)





Also have Castelli San Marino speed suits and three different helmets for days When I do not want to match

Forgot to mention the shocking pink rucksack

 

[Easytigers]

Don't always match the bike but feel weird if the jersey and gloves don't match...

Was it actually too tight or as it was intended but tighter than you are used to? Your's is quite loose and long.

BTW, not criticising your choice, in case you took it that way, I was just asking, dress as you feel most comfortable.

 

[Large]

Matt black bike (Cannondale Bad Boy). Black shorts, black base layer trousers, black Night Vision jacket and gloves for when it's dark (!), black helmet, black socks and black shoes. Usually wear a black t-shirt or polo shirt as my only cycling shirt, a La Vie Claire 80s replica, is too small. Sometimes I do wear a bright red lightweight coat during the day if it's windy and my base layer long-sleeveed top is also red.
