Do any of you have much experience with Craft gear? How do their products compare to others? Other than Trek Leopard wearing them, I havent heard or seen much of Craft.

They're a swedish brand and they're pretty awesome. Materials and construction are top notch - on par with Giordana/Castelli/Capo I have a few jerseys and their base layers. Their fit is a euro fit so if you're the typical fat guy, you might want to buy a size or two up.

I purchase a Craft light jacket - very good stuff as mentioned above. Agree that if you like a little extra room, go one size up.

I have a craft ultra light weight rain jacket, and a couple of their Winter base layers. Love their stuff so far.

ive also found craft products to be very nice. i had a pair of craft gloves last year that i really like but they dont make anymore. its a same because i thought they were the perfect glove. they also make really nice base layers.

I have multiple pieces for running and cycling - both styles are cut small for my pudgy USA body. At the risk of sounding like a broken record -go up a size unless you're anorexic. Otherwise they are great.

+1 on its awesomeness.

Like most manufacturers of quality cycling gear, Craft's size charts are accurate if you're reasonably fit. They are NOT, however, vanity sized so your the size of your sleeveless, club cut, Pearl Izumi jersey from Nashbar won't translate.

Their base layers are excellent.

+1 to that... One of my favorite companies in general and I pretty much only use their base layer for biking, running, snowboarding.

I have a Craft finisher's jacket and I loooooove it.

I don't know about that. I think Craft tops and bottoms are sized a half to a full size larger than Assos or any of the Italian brands. I wear a medium Craft, but large in those others.

I recently got a pair of the craft elite bibs. They are very comfortable.

I just bought a Craft jersey for $50 which I thought was a great deal for what you get. Wasn't familiar with the brand until then/now.

Craft bibs rock. Haven't tried their jerseys because I don't fit in them

halfspeed

I'll take your word for it. I've just been wearing their base layers which fit like Castelli, Giordana, and Etxe Ondo jerseys. The really big stuff in euro gear is Campagnolo.

Velo Gator

Their stuff runs small, IME.

I've only worn craft base layers, haven't tried their bibs or jerseys. The base layer works well and its pretty inexpensive compared to the other brands out their. Quality stuff.

frisky99

BIG name in nordic wear for years.

ILUVUK

I have two Craft jerseys and a pair of their gloves. Quality is nice.

orcanova

Craft has been around and is one of the quality standards in cycling apparel. Sidenote, didn't Tyler Hamilton used to pitch their gear?

scirocco

I'm surprised to hear they are a top brand. PBK always seem to be selling them cheap, and I have a couple of jersies. They are okay, nothing special and I would say the sizing is normal cycling sizes or even a little small.

I haven't used their warm weather gear but the winter gloves and base layer I have are great.

rangerdavid

european cut i believe, so they are certainly cut a bit smaller. I've actually gone from wearing a med/lg to a lg/xlg in the european cut. Just buy the next larger size.

The front of their bibs are cut to low for my taste. They seemed ok other than that. Jerseys are good.

I use the tights version of these in the winter. Very, very comfortable and great breathability. I also swear by their minimalist boxers with windstop fronts for 20 degree and under rides and also for the ability to wear my team kit on race day in cyclocross season.
