I enjoy putting on your Jersey (Majestic Glaciers) before each ride.I get so many compliaments on how nice it looks. Plus having spent QUALITY time in Alaska coaching at National Cross Country Ski events "the Jersey"also helps bring back fond memories of great people and a very special place on earth. For that I say, "1000 thank yous." Coach Weston

I was walking the South Downs in England and saw cyclists riding from Winchester to Eastbourne. From a distance I saw your jersey and when I asked the guy if he was from Alaska he said in a very British accent, "No, are you?" We decided we should get one too, since yes, we are from Alaska...
Thought you'd like to know how International you've become.

Hi, I just wanted to thank you for a great and easy site to order from.  I just ordered the Washington bike jersey.

Thank you and keep up the good work

I just wanted to say THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!  I ordered a California shirt from you on Monday, Nov 30th and asked that you ship as soon as possible because it was for someone leaving the country on 12/12.  Well, I received it today, in PLENTY of time to give the gift before my friend leaves!  You are awesome—thank you so much for getting it out so quickly!  That is TRULY customer service – which is rare these days!  J
 
THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!
Happy holidays!

Dear Freespirit,  thank you so much for the jersey.  The colors are brillant, just like Colorado!  Nice graphics on Aspen!  I will wear it proudly!  I will also try to get Lisa on board with your jerseys.  Something fresh...
Thank you again for the lovely gift.

Kathy,
Just a note to let you know that I had a biking accident and my beautiful Kathy Sarns jersey had to be cut off me!  If I hadn't been so doped up on Morphine I am certain I would have insisted they pull it off rather than cut it off.  I feel so BAD every time I think of that jersey in shreds.  A lady pulling of the McDonalds drive thru hit me throwing me into the traffic on Lake Otis.  I broke 3 ribs on my right side and my left wrist.  My right wrist had muscle and ligament damage but not bad enough to cast.  I had surgery on my left wrist and it's coming along fine but the ribs are really sore still.  Eventually, I'll want to buy or tradeout for another jersey so keep me in mind when you order.  I'll need a rather large size.  I think what I had was 2XL.  If you order more sizes of the no bottom elastic I think I might like that one even better.  Or maybe I'll want the jacket.  I'll check them out next time I see them in REI.

Take care! C

Hi Kathy & Pat,

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the fit of your cycling
shirts. I got my "Arizona" jersey at a bike shop in.....Arizona. Its a
(mens?) small and fits great. Just wanted to let you know in case you ever
get a call from a woman wanting to know about the fit...I'm 5'4" 115 lbs. I
tried on the womens sizes, but they were too short for me.
I love the graphic on the shirt too...so thanks for a great product.

Approximately 3 years ago, I purchased one of your Alaska Jersey while
visiting Anchorage.
I love the design, fit, everything about it.
It is the most comfortably fitting jersey I own.

Sincerely,

                I have the Gold Rush Jersey but the Denali Bear is for me THE jersey. With 2 friends we bike camped starting in Anchorage, to Portage Glacier, then the train, and on to Valdese.  From Glen Allen we traveled west to Palmer and then north to Denali where we spent 2 days without a cloud in the sky.  On our motor trip into the park we did see a large "Denali Bear" with cubs.  Onto Fairbanks for a couple of days to finish our 1100+ mile trip.I have bike camped thru out the United States but biking Alaska was my greatest "free spirit" trip.   Thanks for the great new jersey.
Very Sincerely, Craig A. R, (Germany)

Dear all at Free Spirit Wear,

While on a ride here in Oregon I saw a jersey that I just had to have, a beautiful yellow jersey with riders cruising down the wooded mountain slope with wildlife, a meandering stream and "Oregon" proudly displayed.  I've been there many times, in many parts of our fair state and I've had the feelings that the jersey evokes.  I finally found out from a fellow club member where I could order the jersey (well geeez, just read the address on the arm). I did order it, while sitting in the Las Vegas airport, brain dead from a vacation.  Of course I missed one small little detail -- like ordering the right size, I didn't move the check to "large", so ended up ordering an extra small, which would have probably fit well over my right arm.  I called your 1-800 number and a real person answered, actually had my order already and made the correction.  She was extremely friendly and she didn't even mention how brain dead I must of been when I ordered.  A few days later my jersey arrived and it was indeed as beautiful as I remembered, even my non-riding wife and two polyester knit/wicking jersey impaired daughters thought it was really beautiful.  There was even a "Thank you" and a smiling face on the receipt with the jersey.

I've tried it on and it is really comfortable and fits well.  But I'm saving it for the first day of a four day ride that my sister, brother-in-law and myself are taking in September.  They also bought the Oregon jersey, so we'll look like "Team Oregon" on the ride.  That first day will start in the high desert country of Central Oregon near Bend, then go up the Old Mackenzie Pass Road (a road following the path of the old wagon road going up the east side of the Cascades).  From the summit you can see Mt Hood, Mt Jefferson, Three Fingered Jack, Mt Washington, the Three Sisters and Crater Lake, all while standing on an ancient lava flow.  The decent down the west side of the Cascades is appropriately called Dead Horse Grade (because it will kill you if you go up it, and might just kill you even if you are going down).  On the way down we'll be cruising down a wooded mountainside, with wildlife and a meandering stream off to the left (where have I seen that picture before?).

After all my ramblings, I would like to thank you for designing a jersey that really captures the spirit and reality of riding in the Oregon mountains. I would like to thank you for your friendliness and help correcting my mistake and thank you for the speed with which the jersey was delivered.  I guess I'll have to ride in places like Washington, California, Colorado and come up and visit Alaska, to continue my Free Spirit collection.  Unless of course you want to produce a second Oregon jersey, maybe featuring the rugged and beautiful Pacific Coastline in Oregon.  And, if you never have, you might want come down south and enjoy riding in the great state of Oregon.

Thank You from a very satisfied customer/rider/Oregonian,

Bill C

Good morning Kathy:
Your work has so much beauty and character, I make it a point to
wear my Fireweed jerseys on special event, including Paris-Brest-Paris.

Thanks for creating such a piece of functional art.

Hi Kathy and Pat,
Simply have to tell you that your jerseys attract so much attention when I wear on rides that my biking companions are left in awe at the popularity of the jerseys.
Last Saturday while riding in my area, 3 different riders and one kayaker discussed the quality and beauty of your shirts.  Awesome is the most used adjective!
Sunday on an organized ride, three fellow riders copied the website from the salmon jersey and one other young woman came up to me to inquire of the jersey.  She is from Wasilla, said she always wanted one of your jerseys and now was positive she would buy one.
Two groups of friends are leaving for Anchorage within the next 2 weeks and I urged them to visit you.  Hope they do.
Anyway, your reputation grows.
Thanks for the fun jerseys.
Mary Ann

Kathy,

I just wanted to let you know that your Do Rag is awesome! I use it with my high speed tricycle just about everyday. I’m trying to convince the Texans that there is another state that is much bigger and a lot more fun! I will be wearing your gear on the way to the Elmendorf Airshow at the end of June.

Thanks for your great products.

Doug

Hello Pat,
I am the guy from Tennessee that you met at the Anchorage Farmers Market June of 2006.  On June 30, 2007 I reached the Pacific at Florence Oregon after riding 1800 miles from Pueblo on the last leg of my 4200 ride across America.

As you  might recall, completion of the ride was interrupted with a diagnosis of cancer.  The cancer is currently in remission.  God is faithful and faithful in detail.
I told everyone I met that would listen my story.  It was a perfect ride after even getting caught in a blizzard in Wyoming.

Attached are pictures with the two jerseys I bought from you.  They are my favorite and generate a lot of interest.

It is 102 today in Tennessee and we have yet to have a high below 94 for the month of August.  Oh how nice it must be in  Alaska!

Hi,
Just wanted to say that I received my order today and love it!
I am 6'-5" and 210.  I have a lot of trouble buying jerseys that fit.  They are usually too short unless I buy a tall size which is real hard to find.  Yours fits great!
Thank you, Kevin

Meeting your husband in the Downtown Bike Rental Store and you at the market is one of favorite stories of our Alaska Summer Vacation.  Right up there with seeing whales which is my daughters passion.  Both my mom in Wisconsin and AJ and myself in Texas have gotten a lot of nice comments about the jerseys.  We now just respond that it was a long ride to get here.  We were able to be together again in Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago.  Here are some photos if you chose to use any.  We keep looking at the gold rush wind jacket but then we want to come back next summer and maybe you will have more designs.  Thanks so much for the fun that you have provided. Carrie

Hello!  We recently bought two Alaska jerseys from your company...they are beautiful!  Anyway, last weekend we rode in the MS 150 Bike Tour in Michigan.  We had so many wonderful comments on our jerseys.  We just wanted to thank you for your services.
I have attached a few pics of our ride.
Sincerely,
Cherie & Carla

Sam, Nik and their dad, Leon Unruh, of Eagle River recently completed an
eight-day, 500-mile cycling trip called Biking Across Kansas. More than
800 riders started at the Colorado state line and finished by dipping
their wheels in the Missouri River in northeastern Kansas. This was the
first BAK for Sam, 11, and Nik, 9, who met their goal of riding every
mile. The Alaska jerseys were a real hit and big attention getter all across the
state.

Kathy: I have three of your jerseys...

Alaska w/fireweed
Alaska w/howling wolf silhouetted
Oregon w/Mt Hood

Whenever I wear any of the three...I always get compliments and "Where can I get one of those?" Keep up the good artwork!!!

Hello,

Last year my wife and I each ordered an ALASKA Gold Rush jersey to wear when
we skated the Northshore Inline Marathon in Duluth, Mn ( largest inline
event in North America)
Could not believe how many people asked us about them. We lived in Alaska
for 23 years and miss it terribly. We skate 10 to 12 marathons during the
summer and plan to wear our Alaska Jersey's at each one this year.
Thanks for making a great jersey that is not just for biking.

Glenn

I am, also, a cyclist and when I was in Anchorage last summer, I wanted to buy something really special to remember the trip.  And there you were at the Anchorage open air market!!!  One look at the jerseys & I was a goner!  They are just beautiful!!  So, now I wear my jersey in Los Angeles & get tons of comments while out on my rides.  I think your jerseys are really the best looking I've come across and buying it was the best  souvenier I could possibly have & the most useful.  I would like to buy a California jersery soon, but I'm torn etween California & Washington....which is were I'm from originally.  We'll see.  Thanks again......kathy from L.A.

Kathy:

Thanks for getting back to me. Welcome to winter! We've had nearly 8 inches of snow and the temperature hit -2 last night here in Delta. The wind jacket took a little getting use to with the left hand zipper. 56 years as a righty is hard to overcome. Other than that, the jacket is an awesome performer during my training runs. It gets rid of moisture very well and the bright colored design makes me visible to the vehicular traffic out on the Richardson highway. I've used the jacket with and without the sleeves. Same great performance either way. Thanks again for the excellent customer support.

In October, the doctor told me that I was in a complete remission from the lymphoma and that the remission could last only a few months or could be several years.  I  going to take each day and make it the best!
To celebrate my 59 th birthday, I rode my bike 59 miles proudly wearing the Wolf Jersey.   It was a beautiful ride with the  fall colors at their peak even though dogs caused me to crash at mile 57.  I finished later to find I had a broken shoulder, extensive brusing and 5 stitches in my face.  Still it is great to be alive!!!  I will not complain.  Just as soon as I get healed up, I plan to dawn the wolf socks I ordered, get the jersey on and do the ride again (not the crash).   If I do not get to come back to Alaska next summer, I hope to complete my ride across America.  I have the Pubelo, Co. to Flourence, Or. segement left.
