"Thank you again for ensuring we received our unsuits in time for our fall race the "Head of the Schuylkill"! Our young athletes looked professional and proudly wore their new Brick City Rowing gear (BCR)! The BCR staff and our young athletes cannot achieve our goals without the support of people like you."
"Our team is so grateful for the support you've provided for us last year and that you continue to support us! It's one of the best rowing suits our team has ever had."
"Please pass along to the design team that our team LOVES their uni suits!! They are so happy with them. The design is subtle, yet it popped off the screen in photos/videos we captured during the last race. So great!!! Thank you for all your patience with me!! The results are fabulous!! It took a bit of time and conversation but so beyond worth it. I look forward to working with you next cycle of orders.”
“Just writing to let you know we received both our tech shirts and our unisuits ahead of promised delivery and in time for the start of our season- THANK YOU! All orders are complete and we so appreciate how easy it is to work with ya’ll and how helpful you’ve been in getting this order to us.”
"JL fits into my rowing life because it makes me feel confident. I’m always ready for a strong water session in JL gear. The company is devoted to their athletes and supportive of all different backgrounds. Not only is the gear superior in make, but the designs are involved and inspired."
“I love it how your products last for such a long time I have had 2 club zooties/unisuits for about 5 years and they have been the only club ones I have ever had and they have lasted me all that time. I have never had a club or school unisuit/zootie last that long. I also love the fact how I have the option to customize the JL gear so I can get the fit spot on for me no other brand offers this at all. JL is I like any other rowing brand in the world and on top of it all they are the best looking rowing gear on the market.”
"We just received our unis and they are AWESOME! Our seniors got a peek at them and they are so pumped to wear them. Thank you for all the guidance and advice on materials, design experience, as well as making the process enjoyable and user-friendly."
"Thanks so much for all your help with the CJRC Henleys. We couldn’t be happier with how they came out! In fact, they are such a hit that we need to get several more for the team."
“We really appreciate you going the extra mile to be sure we got our uniforms in time for our race. We are thoroughly impressed with the look and quality of the unisuit, but we are even more impressed with the effort you made to be sure we had them in time. Thanks again, and we look forward to doing business with JL again! Thanks so much!!”
“I’m just confirming that we got our unis as of yesterday and that everyone was very pleased with how they turned out. Quoting one of our team members: "I feel like a hero when I put this uni on." Thank you for getting everything taken care of promptly and thanks to JL for an excellent product. Thank you again”
"We've had nothing less than amazing experience working with JL for our small club here in The Bahamas. Our rep Portia has been a dream to work with and they've done a great job producing our uniforms. The Best!"
"JL is my go to brand for rowing and cycling apparel. The quality of the sports apparel I have from JL is unrivaled".
"The JL sequel jacket is my go-to for cool weather rowing. I wear the hi-viz jacket to increase my visibility as I row alone. For Fall and Spring, the vest is a must. The vest and sequel jackets have a zippered pocket on the lower back where my keys sit safely in a ziplock baggie, and a napoleon pocket on the front to hold my sunglasses till after the sun rises. My favorite cold weather gear is the coxswain splash jacket. It’s lined with fleece and has fleece-lined kangaroo pockets. I row with this over a tech shirt."
“Today I had a talk with a FedEx representative since I was afraid the given address would not allow me to receive the package. However, in the same time my package was delivered. I must say that I am very satisfied with the quick reception of your products regardless of the long distance: USA to Turkey. But foremost, I was really amazed to the quality of the material and the sticking and the embroidery of the products. Top quality. The sizing was also as per to given description. Many thanks and keep up the good work.”
"Cold weather rowing for me is all about layers. The JL sequel turtleshell vest is great over a short sleeve tech shirt for early Autumn so I can keep my core warm and dry. In early Spring or end of season in October, I swap out my JL trou for my JL tights and occasionally a splash jacket for that extra layer of warmth."
"I have been a customer of JL Racing for many years and the quality of their products has always been amazing. I have shopped in-person at their Southern California store, purchased from their online retail store, ordered from their online collections' presales, and customized team orders for bulk shipment. Each time, their customer service was amazing and everything was done seamlessly. They really show professionalism and superior knowledge in their specialized craft. If you need help with sizing or product recommendations, they are always very friendly and easy to communicate with. I see why this brand is so well-respected in rowing communities around the world and I would definitely recommend this brand to friends and family".
"We got the unis and trou yesterday - and the kids love them! The quality is great, too! Thank you so much for all of your help during this process. We look forward to placing another order in the spring!”
"The goal is the apparel should never be a distraction for you while rowing, and it checks that box. I was almost always wearing a JL unisuit while rowing. There is a good amount of stretch and I never felt restricted by it. It got to the point where I just stopped wearing other brands."
"Great rowing and cycling specific clothes! JL Racing allows me to focus on the task at hand. Regardless if it's the last 300 meters sprinting to the finish line or reeling in a break-away, JL Racing takes my mind off what I'm wearing and into winning!"
"JL makes some of the best rowing and cycling wear available. Comfortable, long-wearing, well made and good looking. It can't row the boat for you, but it does everything else!"
"I absolutely love your brand. If you ask anyone on my team they would call me a devout super fan, borderlining on zealotry. I buy your products at every race I go to, and I love them all. I want to be a part of your company and see it succeed and grow. I love rowing and I love what you guys do and would be honored to assist you any way I can."
The comfort is unbelievable and they work Great. Amazing feeling of additional flexibility and freedom of movement because of the thin, lightweight material."
"WOW! You guys do great work. We are in the process of inventorying everything now. One thing is for sure the quality and style is unmatched...Thanks once again for all your help!"
“Each of these items fit me perfectly and are super comfortable while rowing. I had my first uni for 4 years before it got its first hole which shows the quality material used.”
“For me I find that the JL training kit is the best of the best and the most comfortable training kit there is! I will always wear my JL kit long before a lot of my other training kit including kit from the big brands (adidas, nike etc). But this is because of its form, fit and functionality in rowing.”
"JL means quality and comfort. It allows me to concentrate on my training and competition knowing it is hardy enough to withstand the strain rowing can have on kit. Out of all my kit, I always reach for a JL unisuit because comfy to train and race in.”
“Since I got my first ever Unisuit, which was a JL one, I have sworn by the brand and have gone on to buy other products by them including tech tops, leggings and splash jackets. I’ve always liked the quality and range of designs, also the collections such as Hudson and Concept2. I also admire the way JL has built itself up into the brand that it is, with such collaborations and also the ambassador program.”
“JL is a really quality brand which is what I think a lot of rowers value including myself. My current racing kit is JL and I've had the AIO for 6+ years and it shows no sign of stopping. There also seems to be a really great community amongst those on the ambassador program that I would love to be apart of.”
“I love the quality of JL kit! I have so many AIO and leggings from JL. All my JL kit from when I first started rowing 11 years ago still fits and still looks relatively brand new! There are no wear or tear on them.”
“JL has fast and comfortable racing and training clothing making it perfect for winter and summer training, allowing you to train on the water regardless of the conditions and generate the maximum power every stroke.”
