Squadra Gear

Saved by Squadra!

Greg, I have to tell you....

I just got back from riding the White Rim in Moab (100 mile mountain bike ride). We did this in one day and were out for about 10 hours. I decided to give the Squadra chamois a true test ride. I’m pleased to report that the Squadra shorts are, hands down, the most comfortable shorts I own. I didn’t even use chamois cream and I couldn’t even tell I had been on the bike for 10 hours.

I’m so glad we went with Squadra this year.
Thanks!

Callaway Golf recently added SQUADRA cycling jerseys to their company store for employee purchase. They have many people that ride to work and some that race on weekends. As a fellow Carlsbad company we are supporting their company's bike to work day event next month. They do a killer clam bake and beer party that day. Stone Brewery IPA, ya cannot beat that! Thanks to Peter from Callaway for being a great neighbor!

Dough from Squadra and Steve raced against one another since 1979...wow that seems like a long time ago!!!! Teammates on 7-ELEVEN back in the day...now doing some biz togther. This shot is from a 20 year team reunion in Cabo San Lucas, MX

Steve Bauer Bike Tours has come to Squadra to produce their Tour De France trip jerseys this year. If you ever dream of getting to France in July, you should try and see the TDF in style with Steve and Josee as your guides. Nothing beats having a former "yellow jersey wearer" as your personal guide!

Attached is how customers view their art proofs for sign off prior to production. This will give any of you potential customers out there a snapshot of whats to come when you decide to go forward with your sales qoute, tackle the 50% deposit and decide to give your team, event, club or group ride the look you have always wanted and deserve!

diggin' it all!

Happy customer review:

"I agree with all the happy Squadra Customers, I have been doing several sets of uniforms for teams down in Monterrey, Mexico, and we all agree is the best gear, top quality, great color sublimation. Great on Hot Summer Days, that Microspitech Fabric really does the job at 40 C..."

Thanks Squadra!

Testimonial from a Happy Customer!!!

We're really psyched with the suits. The sublimation is first-rate and
construction even better. We looked at doing Podiumwear for half the
price, and I feel we made the right choice. If you want to get a peak at our
suits online, I have some shots on our site from our first race:

Kona Finish 2006

We built this suit at Squadra for Sugar Cycles the week of Ironman and shipped it overnight to Kona for the race!

Dan, the scorpion, then and now!

2006-10-13T13:06:00.000-07:00

Squadra founder Dan Weatherford had a vision nearly 2 decades ago to bring Castelli into the US market. The vision at that time did not include "custom gear" and was run out of a friends garage in San Marcos, CA. Dan still digs into all facets of his company today, Dan is seen here checking out some freshly printed stuff.

The Castelli scorpion icon has nearly 4 decades of cycling heritage with victories in all 3 grand tours, Olympic titles, multiple world and national championships.

Today Squadra occupies this building in Carlsbad, CA. It is slightly larger than Squadra's humble "garage band" beginnings. But I think the garbage can is from the original office!!!!

Last year the 7-ELEVEN Pro Cycling Team celebrated their 25th anniversary of its founding (1981-2005) in Cabo San Lucas, MX. Squadra was the official apparel supplier for the event with full sublimated Tech T's. These shirts worked well for golf, snorkeling, morning runs and out on the town at night. How many of these former athletes can you name? One of them is Andy Hampsten, who won his Giro d'Italia title in Castelli Clothing.

Interbike 2006

2006-10-13T12:11:00.000-07:00

We did or own SQUADRA booth this year at Interbike Las Vegas. Founder Dan, co-owner Tom, Dave and Dough were on set up duty. There is nothing like the experience of trying to get something done on your own in Las Vegas at a convention center w/o labor union help. But we managed to get this thing up and ready for the show somehow on time. No a/c in the building on set up days, had a nice sweat going for 10 hours. But we managed to find some fluid replacement at Hofbrau Haus afterward with a few cold ones!

Squadra Golf Debut

2006-10-13T11:53:00.000-07:00

September 2006: Squadra's first golf shirt order was for the Cancer for College Charity event, sponsored by Fed-Ex and held at the Temecula Creek Inn. Craig Pollard of Global Tour Golf, Squadra's golf distributor, hosts this annual charity event benefiting Cancer Survivors who go onto College, granting them with scholarships. Was a great night after the charity golf tournament. Actor/Comedian Will Farrell was the guest of honor. Will and Craig went to school at USC together.
