I reckon my Swrve jeans are the best pair of cycling trousers I own. The cordura denim seems to just go and go. I've gone through the crotch on one of their shorts though, didn't stop me buying more.
My Torm jersey has just started to reek a little which made me realise I'be been wearing for over a month without washing, which is bad of me but shows the jersey is very good kit. Unlike the Prendas jerseys someone mentioned: not good material.
Personally I like bike kit that doesn't look too bikey i.e. non-full kit wankery and smothered in logos, even for 3 hour plus weekend rides. Quite a few brands mentioned fit that criteria, Rapha being one. But it's all just kit, as Dan said. And all brands produce some shockers, like those horrible hi-viz pink gilets Rapha did a while back that looked like they were modelled on the shaft of an erect penis, veins and all.
