2014 CUSTOM CYCLING APPAREL
WHAT MAKES GIORDANA BETTER? EXPERIENCE & QUALITY We have over thirty years of experience in the cycling community and continue to work closely with riders at all levels of the sport; including the top athletes in the world, to stay at the forefront of cycling innovation and technology. We offer a wide variety of proven quality garments, fabrics and chamois to accommodate all ability levels and every climate. ADVANCED PROCESS Our state-of-the-art facility just outside of Verona, Italy has improved and expanded our capabilities. Most importantly, it keeps all manufacturing processes under one roof, allowing us to monitor every step of the production and uphold our strict quality standards. GREEN INITIATIVES Our factory not only meets, but surpasses Europe’s strict environmental manufacturing standards. We have taken many steps toward making the process more green, and we continue to grow with this as a priority. All inks used are water based and excess ink is recycled. Transfer paper is also recycled along with excess fabric trimmings. Instead of artificial lighting, skylights are used to provide a natural light source, which significantly decreases energy consumption. As Giordana moves ahead we will strive to further lessen our impact on the environment and its resources. 24 HOURS OF BOOTY Giordana has been a proud supporter of 24 Hours of Booty since its inception in 2002. We are the official 24 Hours of Booty cycling apparel provider. 24 Hours of Booty, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit charity headquartered in Charlotte, N.C. that provides extraordinary cycling events that are safe, fun, and open to all levels of cycling ability. Their mission is to conduct 24-hour cycling events that increase public awareness, funds, and support for the LIVESTRONG Foundation and local cancer organizations. CANYON BICYCLES

GIORDANA IS ALL UNDER ONE ROOF
READY TO START? STEP ONE: DECIDE IF YOU’RE A FULL OR NOW CUSTOM ORDER
You can determine this by reading over our program options on page 6 or just give us a call and talk to a custom clothing specialist at 704.943.7914.
STEP TWO: REVIEW PRODUCTION DATES FOR FULL CUSTOM ORDERS ONLY 1. January and February are our busiest production months. Orders placed in January may take up to 1-2 weeks longer than our standard 65 days. 2. April through July allow RE-ORDERS of existing artwork to be reproduced at a lower minimum order of 10 pieces of the same garment. 3. June 1st is the last day for approval of NEW artwork in order to receive your order before the factory’s annual August closure. June 15th is the last day for REORDERS in order to receive your order before the factory’s annual August closure. 4. October 15th is the last day to send approved artwork to our factory and avoid an extra 2 weeks added to your production time for the Christmas holiday factory closure. 5. October and November are the slowest times of our year and would be a good time to order and potentially receive your garments faster than our standard 65 days.

WHICH PROGRAM IS BEST FOR YOU ?
FULL CUSTOM PROGRAM The FULL CUSTOM fabrics and features have evolved as a result of the symbiotic relationship Giordana has enjoyed for over three decades with the teams and athletes we sponsor. The Giordana brand has grown over the years with the sport of cycling. As new materials and construction technologies develop, our teams put them to the ultimate test in competition. Similarly, we constantly solicit feedback from these athletes to evaluate every aspect of our apparel. We aim to understand what features they find most essential and what in the future they can imagine might improve their performance. All of this input is directly beneficial to the entire Giordana line. All fabrics and features are professional quality. Three full custom lines are available:
