A: The NOAA Cycling Jersey is made by Champion Systems.
Q: How does the jersey fit compared to other company's like Voler?
A: The "Club Fit" is true to size and the "Race Fit" is truly race fit (snug) This page will show you how other jersey manufactures compare to each other regarding size and fit. If you are a tall rider and are near the upper end of your size range it would be a good idea to go up a size (the jerseys are a little shorter that most).

A: No. You can order just the jersey or even just the cycling cap.
