Polaris Easter Sale here:

https://www.polaris-bikewear.co.uk/category-s/1422.htm

A good range of stuff with some large reductions.

I've ordered some 3/4 length shorts for my Wife - £5 down from £45
Some Adventure bib shorts for myself - £13 down from £40
and have also got a colleague some MTB baggies.

I ordered some of the cadence bib tights in their last sale and they are very comfortable, so hoping that these ones will be as good.
They've also got a range of jerseys, socks etc.
I got some of the £3 RBS bright yellow socks last time around and they are a bargain for the price.

Thanks for that, got a decent long sleeve mtb top for a fiver (down from £43) and a Gillet for a tenner. Even with the postage I saved about £80 on the rrp.

Mrs monkeyboyjc however, doesn't thank you.......

Does anyone know how their bike bags compare to the EVOC bags?

The long sleeve mtb jerseys size up large - I went down a size based on reviews, which was the right decision. Everything else I bought sizes as you'd expect. Seems good quality but the pads in the shorts are a bit stiff. I wouldn't buy at the normal prices.

I got the socks, very nice feel (even for a 3 hour run including mud and wet feet) but just a bit on the small size. I found one of their shirts a bit skimpy too, but just ok.

We have one of the bike bags. Got it when it was at half price. You can easily get a 29er medium Enduro in it and it's very well made and padded. It will get alot of use this year when Abigale travels to some of the EWS rounds.
There is a review of it somewhere on line when one of the mags takes one to Canada. Also a video on the Polaris site showing how it's been packed

Glad people have got some use out of this...

Regarding sizing.....stuff I ordered previously sized up about right based on other kit I've bought...not had any of their tops though...

Yeah, they frequently do have sales running. A lot of various kit in this one though.

My order was shipped today so hoping to get it tomorrow, although it might not arrive until Monday I guess.

Gilets arrived today. True to size for me so the XL is going back for a refund.

Very pleased for £10

FWIW seem to be a few quid cheaper for their jerseys at least in GoOutdoors

Yeah, my bits turned up today - not tried them on yet, as I'd probably get escorted out of the office walking around in my bib shorts....but they look half decent & a bloody bargain at £13/pair - although the real test will be how comfortable they are.....

The colleague I ordered shorts for seemed happy with his. They looked a little baggy to me, but he went safe on the sizing and ordered a size up.

Yep, my 'Enduro' top and Gillet arrived this morning. Bit medium and both fit perfectly.
Very happy - thanks again to the OP 🙂

2 short sleeve base layers (got one long sleeve in the last PSA), long sleeve MTB jersey and one of the packable wind jacket things. All size up nicely (MTB jersey is big, but it'll be fine over pads).

I then got the missus the £8 womens long sleeve jersey to soften the blow. Worked.

Got my stuff - sizing spot on. Seems fairly good stuff, tho not sure i'd want to pay full price - the bib shorts don't feel like 60 quid jobs, but they're fine for 20 quid.

@Kuco can only say good things about their bike luggage, have used it traveling with the road bike and the MTBS - nice to find a case so easy to pack and that will take even big DH frames comfortably.

Also treated myself to a few more bits in the sale cheers @stumpy01 reading the pad comments I think it depends on what level in their Range they are, I have their new Geo Bibs and they are one of the comfiest pads I've worn. The new stuff seems to be better for that I think 🙂

It's all decent stuff for the prices in the sales. I just wish they'd be a bit more "honest" with their RRPs and then they might sell more without the constant discounting.

@scotroutes difficult for brands that used to sell mainly into the big retailers I guess, where the RRP would have been valid. Will probably come into line as more is now sold direct... 😐

Don't think the bike market is too easy for anyone at the moment, I know our local IBD struggles and we try to go there as often as we can
