I got a couple of pairs of the Howies Chada stretch cycling chinos for my birthday/Christmas and I think they're great. I also got a Barrier Light softshell jacket which I love, and which is now only £39.50 in their sale:

I always wondered who made these "it is safe to overtake me at any time" bags

These are pretty good for winter. Although more for an upright riding position as I find the medium is too long at the front and too short at teh back! (The opposite to how it should be cut), but its almost windproof, water sort of beads off it for most trips, and its warm enough to just wear a t-shirt underneath down to about zero

Just got an email from Howies: they've launched jerseys and bibs. Look nice. Will someone buy some first and let me know if they're decent? Ta.

;)

Bit boring imho + shame there's no women's collection.

^ Fast work

I have a ladies' jersey that I bought from them about 2 years ago and absolutely love- it was £60 full price (I got it in the sale) so not mega-cheap but I think it's awesome, really well designed and manufactured, good fabric, perfect pockets, ideal.
But they've been through some changes so not sure if what they're producing now will be comparable?
Great company though, shame they closed their Carnaby St shop as I'm not so happy about online shopping.

Cheers Sparky, you're a good un.

Don't think they're making any women's ones now. Shame.

How are the shorts working out for you? I'm looking at swiping a pair myself.

Well into this.

Same here...I ordered the leadout bib shorts from wiggle hoping the "34/36" description of the larger size goes up to my mamil dimensions.

They do look nice though, been after an unbranded pair of black shorts for a while

not sure if it's already been covered but has anyone got one of these

How much of a kickback did you get from Wapha for putting the hyperlink into the first paragraph?

Sparky, how snug is the fit?

That's what I was wondering. I'm quite tempted by the Jersey.

The big question though is how the bib shorts compare to Rapha and Assos.

Also (and my spelling is atrocious) I spotted a typo in the last para - "*and the bit shorts are £59*"

ah...apologies, laziness strikes
