Gear Orders for the Fall
Gear orders for the fall are now available through Denver Athletic until Sunday, August 23d. Once the site closes you will not be able to order again until the winter. 

• Denver Athletic Website (Store Closes Sunday Aug. 23rd)
• Additional Gear from SafeTee Third 

What Gear Should I Order?
We would like all athletes, and parents, to have a neon green Vista Nation XC T-Shirt from Denver Athletic. Everything else is optional to order. Here are a few things to know about available gear:

• Neon Green Vista Nation Shirts: This is our standard shirt and one that every member of the team, including parents, should have. It is what we wear at every meet. Either the cotton shirt, or the performance  shirt are fine to order. 
• Athletes going to NXR may want to consider buying an extra lime green cotton T-shirt for the T-shirt exchange. 
• Warm-Ups: We are giving everyone on the team the opportunity to purchase your warm-ups. Warm-up tops, and pants are optional. We do not check warm-ups out during the season. 
• Additional Apparel: Hats, bags, additional T-Shirts, etc. are all available for purchase, but not required. 
• Sizing: Moms have noticed that the American Apparel Women's Cut shirts (50/50 blend) run about two sizes too small.    Consider ordering larger sizes or going with the men's cut instead.

Uniforms to Purchase and Checkout​

• New Uniforms (tops and Bottoms) $50 a set
• Used Uniforms (tops and bottoms) $25 a set
• You can checkout a uniform for the season if you prefer. These will be returned at the end of the season.
