Problems with Endura.

Almost all my gear is Endura, excellent quality ime, currently hammering a pair mighty mitts and singletrack shorts, couple of pairs of liners and tops too, Zyme 3/4 about 4 years old and a bit knackered but certainly not falling to bits etc

I have long had problems with stitching on many items. I did black list brands for a while only to find they're all as bad as each other. Names include Endura, Altura, Pearl Azumi, Shimano, Specialized, North Face, Lusso.... Currently trying out Mavic roadie bibs and at a Price! Have found stitiching particularly bad on Endura and Altura...

My eVent jacket is fine but someone else had to send his back - got a replacement OK.
One trader told me he was going to stop stocking them, he has had too many returns, doesn't want the hassle.

I've had stitching come undone on gloves and liners. Belts with Humvees are cr*p and I've had similar problems with the popper on Humvees as Cripspy bacon although I sorted that out with a gentle tap from a hammer (it was easier than losing weight
).Seems a bit random, if their stuff lasts to the third ride you're probably OK.

My Endura Jersey pockets stiching falling apart and I have only used it a few times.
My stealth Jacket has been nice.
My Altura gloves have fell apart in 2 weeks. The lycra shorts have been good but coming away at the pad on one.
My Endura winter gloves are solid though.
I have a jersey from '03 Endura jobbie which I wish I could still fit lol as it is tough jersey -not like the poop they are selling.
I suggest keep your receips and contact Endura as they have good customer service normally.

2 pairs of shorts came apart at the seams in the last year, both in exactly the same places and within days of each other. Both pairs had been worn (exclusively for commuting - so from off-road abuse) and far short of how long I'd have expected them to last. The receipts were long gone otherwise they'd have been heading back to Endura.
I had a pair of long-fingered gloves from them last winter that also came apart at the seams.
The difficulty I had/have is that given they were all more than 3/4 months old it doesn't seem quite right to be sending them back. It's also a fair bit of hassle traipsing back to LBS / getting hold of customer services - either way I'd have had to buy replacements given I need them for my daily commute so it's not like I could send them off and happily wait weeks for replacements.
IN the end it just gets chalked down to experience and noted that Endura gear, in my experience, whilst well designed and comparatively reasonably priced doesn't last very long. I won't be buying any of their gear again.

Well it should last a year min.
Give them a ring regardless of receipt-I did with my Endura stealth jacket which was coming apart at the seam.
Never know.
I've used DHB for winter gear and it's been tough as nails for last 3 yrs!

Bought some bib shorts and they had been stiched together wrong so that one side was 2" higher than the other !!! Put them on, knew something was wrong but didn't spot it for a while. Find their sizing inconsistent as well.

I've got quite a bit of Endura kit (shorts, jersey, jakets, gloves) and I'd agree with the comments re:inconsistent sizing. The only item that I don't really get on with is their gloves, sizing is OK, but gel padding is badly placed.
IMO, the inconsistent quality seems to have co-incided with production moving to China.

What? The glasses are sent to bike shops in the hard case, they easily fit.

my experience of endura -
1. The usual one about sizing being all over the place between products. this can be resolved by buy from LBS after trying on but its annoying you cant buy online with any confidence
2. The finish of a lot of endura stuff is average to bad with loose threads etc. However, strangely it doesn't seem to affect the performance or durability in my experience - not sure what those threads were meant to join together but they are still there and still loose 3-5 years later yet the gloves, shorts and baggies are still going strong function wise.
