POC Consort MTB Dungaree review

They’ll be on SportPursuit in no time.

I really like the idea.

Bit more flexibility than an all in one, plus can wear the jacket of your choice.

That being said the price is literally insane. It’s more than a fully D30 suit of armour!

Gucci.

Great review!

From my limited experience of bib shorts, having shoulder straps is definitely a positive thing. Not having to worry about things slipping down is nice. The lack of a waist band is also a liberating feeling.

Not a cat’s chance in hell would I consider paying RRP for them though. Let’s hope more reasonably priced options do make their way to market.

Waterproof dungarees are awesome for a sloppy ride, but at 20 times the cost of my current ones.. I’m out.

To fix the cold feet, wear knee length sealskinz under these & the water can’t get in. Don’t worry about waterproof shoes (they take too long to dry).

A valid point Al.

I bloody love my aussie grit bib shorts (not calling them baggies, cos they aint), lycra bib from waist up, inners, and outer shorts with a tidy wee phone pocket.

Trouser length versions of those, please.

Looks like a POC/brant collab.
😂

As a connoisseur of photos of ladies in dungarees I vote that these are fit for the bin…..

Well Hannah I suppose at a pinch you could press them into service for skiing, ice climbing and North Sea trawlering to get your money’s worth.

Who actually buys POC stuff anyway?

their pads are pretty popular in the circle of riders i hang with anyway.

@nobeerinthefridge I’ve got these

They’re alright, nice and stretchy, clips usually stay on and are plastic. The only downsides are that the clips are a little bulky which might be uncomfortable if your rucksack sits on them. This can be mitigated by spacing them a bit wider than you normally would. The only times the clips have come off is when my rucksack or Camelback has caught on the little lever and undone it.

I think REI ship to the UK these days.

I have burton dungarees for snowboarding. They are aces. I didn’t pay £450 for them either.

@molgrips, cheers, I’ll have a look. Only discovered REI on a work trip in Nevada a few years back, I could’ve spent weeks, and an annual salary, in there!.

I have been using these braces for the past couple of years (mostly on Endura and Fox riding trousers but use for shorts too sometimes). They stop the trousers sliding down off waist and have completely cured the baggy arse syndrome (i.e. catching the crotch of trousers on the saddle). Because you no longer need to cinch up the waist tightly and therefore (for me) mean much more comfortable riding.
Plastic clips, wash well and are quite broad. Don’t even notice them when riding.

£450! I’d want a ‘Tested in Space’ label for that money. They certainly won’t be selling like ‘hot cakes!’.

But when they go on sale at £200 people will snap them up, forgetting that they’re not worth £200 either. If I was offered a free pair I’d pass.

What were they thinking with the colour, Some of those photos have a dodgy Sat night Vindaloo look to them.

Is this the most Hebden Bridge piece of MTB clothing ever created?

at 20 times the cost of my current ones.. I’m out.

I was actually half-tempted but they only come in really big sizes?

As an idea these are great, my kids have similar. The RRP is insane though

I like the Demonstrating dungaree qualifications animation.

I’ll wait till Rapha bring out a set 😉

@thegeneralist I’ve had mine for ages. The title on the eBay advert was:
“Genuine German Army Waterproof Trousers (Goretex) Bib and Brace Flecktarn Camo
Super Grade ⋅ 52 Large W-87-94 cm IL-75 cm”

Which I think works out at 36-38 waist. I’m normally a 36″, so they are about true to size. They are not tight fitting, plenty of space for 2 warmer layers, pads etc underneath. Because they have shoulder straps, a saggy crotch isn’t an issue.

When I get home, I just hose myself down when washing my bike, then leave them & a jacket to drip dry in the garage & walk into the house clean.

POC kit always has POC in huge letters just to let everyone know you are stupid enough to pay for POC.

I have been using these braces for the past couple of years (mostly on Endura and Fox riding trousers but use for shorts too sometimes).

@david could you post a link for those braces, for some reason it keeps coming up as a kindle warning when I click the image. Cheers
