Kit: Glitch on Champion Systems website

A message from Rachael re kit:  ‘ve been speaking to tech support from CS as it appears there is a bug on their website at the moment which means that depending on how you navigate to select the items you wish to order you may not see everything that is available. Until they have it fixed, in order to guarantee seeing everything you must use the left hand “hover” menu rather than clicking on the options below the pictures in the main area of the page.

For example, if any other ladies would like the high end Razor Carbon bib shorts then these are now found under the “Donna Forte” range. Unless you navigate through the left hand menu this range is not visible in the options.
