WTB Orca Distance 226 Kit

Classifieds
1

I’m looking for the Orca “Distance” kit for my 2009 racing season - prefer the “Plus” version of hte tri-short. Looking for black (i guess it comes w/ an orance stripe), and i think the top is white/black.

Sizes - M or L on the short, L on the top …but, if you wear it already - I’m 6’2", 175 - so i’ll take advice. I already wear the “Race” line, so i assume the sizing is consistent.

I like how Orca fits, but the Distance gear is tough to find - and i’m not excited about trying a whole new kit at $100 per item to find out i dont like it…willing to pay fair price, just not ‘retail’.

So, you pro’s and semi-pro’s - if you have any extra pieces laying around from 2008; let me know what you have - new or “lightly” used.

Thanks!

I could get the 2008 distance 226 kit(pants and top), to you for $80 USD delivered. The colours are different from 2009 but that is all.

Chad, if you like the color go with this guy. I ordered a vest from him a couple of weeks ago and it was exactly as described. Everything is inexpensive and shipping is cheap as well. Plan early though, from where he is it can take up to 10 days to get delivered.

Still trying to rock the “slow pro” look, huh?

Thanks, I’ll keep it in mind - i was really after the black, but in a pinch, i might just pull the trigger.

By the way - i appreciate your fast response and shipping on the items i’ve ordered in the past month or so!

agreed - the two orders i’ve placed with him have been great experiences, and prices are hard ot beat.

Holding out for black (Crowie look) - but we’ll see.

Dude, always going for the SloPro look.

Thanks for the feedback above guys.

Just send me a message if you are interested in the 2 piece distance-226 orca gear from last year.

i also looked up the orca site in NZ last night for you and see you can buy directly from it. I logged into the NZ site and they were asking for a NZ address only.
About $60USD for each item but that doesn’t include postage. Am guessing you have to go through a USA rep to buy the gear in the USA.

could the black/white kit be purchased on the NZ site?

The above is the link.
The 226 gear is the same colours Craig Alexander used. I like those colours also.

They work out at $75 USD for the top and $65 for the shorts. Doesn’t include postage. You could email them.

Hope the above helps.

And thanks again for the feedback on my website!

P.S: I also have exactly(well colour difference only) the same style of **race **trisuit for sale, but at a lower cost including delivery.

not going to let us Yanks buy the good stuff, are they?

Thanks for the research, and for the great gear i’ve bought so far - if i dont find the black kit, i will most certainly purchase the coral blue from you.
