I know its pricey still but it is good kit.
Code: save50
Where do you enter the code? I can't seem to find anywhere to do it.
There's a Code box on the checkout page that applies the discount. Awesome PSA, been wanting a pair of their shorts for ages, but could never bring myself to pay full price! Thanks.
Awesome, just got a gilet for £26 posted !
This puts me off
NOTE: All sale items are final. No Refunds. No Returns.
Surely that’s not legal under distance selling regs?
Anyone know what the fit is like? I am a large in normal clothes....a XXL in castelli! should I go for XL in Aussie Grit?
I wear a large in a lot of stuff, but needed an XXL in their gilet - but I remember feedback from others on here at the time was quite different, they found the sizing OK
Bugger, didn't see the no returns bit! Never had their stuff so sizing is unknown to me.
I'm a medium in most things, small in some and my gilet in medium fits pretty well.
Think the website just fell over...
Is the page for the code after the PayPal stage?
Hmm, seems too good to be true, lightweight gilet for £24 posted, almost feel guilty about that one!
A gilet for me and gilet/ shorts for my wife - nice
@ricb, yep code can be put in once you’ve been returned to the aussiegrit site after opening paypal.
Cheers

Why is overpriced running stuff in the Bike Forum? hmm Oh yeah, there's a few overpriced cycling things too.. £149 shorts! Lol. 50% of that is still a piss take.
cheers anyway 😀
The cycling 'bargins' arn't on that first page
Why is overpriced running stuff in the Bike Forum?
Hang on... this is a bike forum??!
Thanks for the PSA, new running cap ordered
Thanks Jim, I missed that.
Nice one! £50 for the jacket that retails at £200, yes please... Just a gamble on the sizing 😬
Gilet arrived this morning, it's a lovely thing but by Christ it's nothing remotely close to a Large size. Medium (and a tich't Medium at that) would be more accurate.
Pinged them a note in the hope they can swap it for an XL.
I know it's a bit of a fattening time to be alive right now, but blimey.
If they won't do a swap, anyone want a bargain priced Medium-sized Large gilet? It's very nice!
That doesn't bode well for me!! Jacket and shorts could be up for sale soon as well...
@jamesmio Glad to hear I'm not alone, I was miles off on sizing also.
FWIW, Aussie Grit were excellent to deal with on returns, a quick email to them and they dispatched a replacement before I even returned the original, although that was last year's sale.
That Gilet is nowhere near a large. I ordered one a while back. Will get round to selling it eventually but glad to order an xl that might fit me now. They are lovely bits of kit. Just sized oddly
Oh dear.....medium gilet on it's way to me too..I've got a Flint Jersey in a medium and so just assumed it would fit. Oh well I'm sure it will fit someone.
How do the flint jerseys size up? I’ve ordered one in my usual size....
Mine is the blue flint one with the merino chest insert rather than the black one with the contours. I'm a large in Rapha and a medium in Altura. 6ft and 75kg with a 33 waist. Medium in that is perfect.
Just got my medium flint jacket and fits fine, I’m a tall ‘medium’ . If I were being really picky the sleeves could be a tad longer, but it’s a lovely jacket. Also hoping it now doesn’t rain as I bought a jacket! Very pleased with it for the price!
My Flint jersey arrived today in large. (The blue one with merino panel). I'm 6ft, 84kg and it's a good fit for me. Relaxed but not flappy.
@roger_mellie and winston. Cheers, hopefully I’ll be ok with an XL jersey then at 6’4” and 90kg.
Cheers

Ok, how does the sizing in jackets and gilets compare with say Castelli?
I've got one of these gillets in Large after being advised of weird sizing, but I really need a Med.
If anyone wants to swap, let me know!
Anyone got shorts - I'm a 34 waist which is in theory a large but slightly cautious that it is class to the XL threshold.
Stuff I've had would be akin to Rapha sizing more than Castelli. I'm 100kg and 44 chest and I'm an XXL.
I just ordered a flint jacket. Already have a gilet and it's a lovely thing. Hoping the jacket sizes up the same.
Ok, I've never bought any Rapha clothing, so don't know how this compares to Castelli clothing sizes. Is Rapha generally smaller or larger than Castelli?
Well my 'large being big enough' fears were unfounded, it seems that I had sub-consciously accepted my chub status and ordered the xl! They fit me well! 6ft, 92kg (gut heavy!)
Does anyone have the focus jacket? Its it any good for riding?
Just received my medium thermal gilet. Its a perfect fit and a totally normal medium - not even a 'cycling medium' and certainly not a castelli medium.
Its also very very nice and a total bargain
Just ordered flint bike jersey. I'm 186cm/98kg and 44 chest, decided to size up and gone xxl. Hope it's not too big.
Thanks, I already have a normal and a thermal gilet which fit me like a glove in medium, so just ordered another in the other colourway.
Anyone got shorts – I’m a 34
My bib shorts arrived today - I'm probably a 35" (35" almost never exists so I'm 36" and a belt normally) and the XL Bib shorts fit just fine. Snug, I wouldn't want them to be snugger. (fit well for height as well - 6'6"). I wouldn't imagine they'd be too big for someone 34
Nice find, thanks!
Gilet at £22 looks great value.
Phew, 6ft, 85kg and 39" chest, size large gilet is perfect.
Kind of wish I'd got the thermal one though...
6 ft and 14 st large top and gilet is fine
Got one of each - thermal is lovely
PS sale still on
