Capo Forma has been making top quality cycling clothing for only a few years but they have already developed a very strong following.

I have never had the opportunity to wear the Capo Forma clothing until they sent me one of their Super Corsa kits. I have heard my teammates rave about the comfort of the Capo gear on really long rides and I was looking forward to experiencing this for myself.

The first thing that you notice about the Capo Forma clothing is the attention to detail. Their seams are flawless, and the color is exact between the jersey and the bib shorts. And the zipper is about the best I have ever seen.

Once I put the kit on I was even more impressed by the fit. It felt like it was custom made for me. I couldn’t believe how comfortable I was in the Super Corsa kit even after a 75 mile ride in over 90 degree heat. The material wicks sweat to the surface and it evaporates almost instantly.

But for me the chamois is the clincher. It feels perfect, it works perfectly, and kept my sensitive parts completely comfortable while on my journey.

There are less expensive kits on the market, but you would be wasting your money. Spend the money and buy only the best cycling clothing, and make sure that Capoforma is at the top of your list. You will be very happy with the purchase.

My final thought is – Capo Forma has produced a top notch kit, at a competitive price, and has delivered as close to a perfect cycling kit you can find.
