Stylish cycling kit

/rant

Merino tends to stretch pretty badly which is one of the appeals of sportswool.

This, merino great but after 3 days on the saddle, it became very loose flapping against the wind.

Best I found is sportswool/merino combine, like the Rapha Classic/Lightweight jersey, latter have 21% merino and found it to be idea for long distance ride.

Essentially you could have 3 Torm for 1 rapha though!

Essentially yes! Worth going for the price they're at, especially if you ride long and hard (torm that is).

Only just notice there's no women garment, very disappointing.

Anyway. I bought a Howies jersey. It's nice, and fits well.

I also bought a few Chapeau.cc jerseys - They're nice, but they're for the larger gutted gentlemen.

Actually - they're for gentluemen with fat lower backs - the shoulders and guts fit, but the backs are flappy.

The Chapeau bibs are great.

What's he doing in the river, has he lost his bike?

"Oh, Wait it that my bike?"

"No, false alarm, maybs, its down here in the river...."

He's being 'rad' duh.

Natural break.

I've bought some ciclismo fiasco kit.

Yep.

The ORNOT stuff is quite nice, but still $250 for shorts and Jersey is still quite a lot of money. Is no one doing anything that's still nice but not quite so expensive

nice hotpants.

@dan: wait until you see the other one I've ordered.

If you say JAGGAD really slowly it sounds like Rapha...well it looks like it anyway.

Haven't actually got any of the kit...everything's on sale and out of stock as far as I can tell but maybe worth keeping an eye on if its your bag?

What Fiasco kit did you order and what's the quality like? Was going to order a couple of bits myself?

Dunno what the quality is like. We'll see when it arrives.
I purchased the fruit salad and not the flowers.

I like the POC stuff too... but still, expensive

le coq sportif stuff is nice but apparently the quality is sketchy. it's mid-level pricing

awesome, picked up some womens stuff on the sale for $35 aud bargainous.
Got it delieverd to my folks for free too....see how it goes when i eventually receive it.

I picked up a pair of POC essential bib shorts from Sigma Sport for £126 and I'm really impressed , they look amazing and as someone else mentioned the fabric seems very innovative .

I got the flowers and the quality seems ok for non-merino summerweight - definitely racefit though!

Also I got a slight deal on the bibs as I'd originally just gone for the top.
