My Order of Linebreak and dhb Arrived 我的單車衣物到了
(拆過後重新包裝,所以沒有很整齊)
收到Wiggle的包裹 (見前述),比我預期的要久一點點,約10個工作天才到。這次很滿意的,因為像是袖長及腿長等大小都很合。 [PS: 有什麼問題問Wiggle,客服回覆也都很快。加分。]
dhb的長袖車衣(dhb Ladies Merston Long Shirt Cycling Jersey)顏色確實如其他reviewers說的一樣,實際看比在網站上的好看,是有點粉綠。雖然樣式很普通,不過我比較喜歡這樣簡單的設計勝過花花的圖案。
Linebreak的Compression Tghts 衣料比我想像中要厚些,比我的Cannondale Lightwieght Tights (沒有墊子)要厚一點點。含運約兩張小朋友。
褲子內部的前面還多了一層倒三角的布。嗯,很貼心的設計。(原因見下面)
穿上去是有點困難,要慢慢從下往上拉。不過,穿起來感覺還不錯,不會覺得難受;倒是覺得肌肉變得紮實,肥肉也不會亂晃。 實際上復原效果的測試就要等這週六苗栗遊山觀海100K之後。其實我覺得都可以當作車褲來穿了,因為我不太需要有墊子的車褲。這點在官網的FAQ有談到:
Are LineBreak products suitable for cycling?
… It is not recommended for them to be worn during a ride as they do not have a chamois (;) however if you do want to support your legs whilst training, we suggest you wear a pair of cycling knicks beneath your tights.
When should I wear my LineBreak tights?
… After training or playing, LineBreak compression tights should be worn for two to three hours whilst you recover. The improved circulation will increase your level and speed of recovery.
我先試試recovery (復原) 的部分 。
我email問客服,當天就收到回應 (nice!):
Does one needs to wear the underwear beneath the tights? 需要在長褲裡穿內褲嗎?
Generally speaking we recommend wearing our Full Length Tights either as a baselayer (i.e. nothing underneath) or with a pair of compression shorts underneath, so they can do their job at moving the sweat away from your body. Having said that, it really comes down to personal preference, as I know many women wear some sort of sport brief or thong underneath. Also, many people tend to wear a pair of playing or running shorts over the top, but again, not everyone does.
建議是不用穿或者是穿compression內褲。然而,這其實是看個人習慣。有的女生會裡面穿著內褲,有的則是外頭穿著運動短褲。
How should I wash the compression clothing? 我該如何清洗彈性壓縮衣物?
In terms of washing, a gentle machine wash and spin is fine (just don’t use fabric softener as this reduces the temperature control abilities of the fabric), but no tumble drying, just hang out to dry on a line. If you swim in them as well, rinsing and wringing dry is fine if that’s easier.
普通的機器清洗及脫水是可以的 (注意不要用柔衣精),但不要烘乾。如果穿著游泳,想簡單點也可以只要沖洗擰乾。
