I'm gonna sit this one out, the slow internets and the NOT SECURE label has given me the heebie jeebies. Chrome has implicitly told me not enter CC or bank info. Wonder if they've been hacked?

Looks like it's genuine, but having a server meltdown

Thanks for the heads up-hopefully ordered 2 pairs of shorts(only took 6 hrs to get there !)-last royal racing ones I had were great and have lasted 7 years with loads of use .

It's genuine but Hope's website can't handle the traffic.

Spoke to them earlier and the lady said that you just need to keep plugging away until you get through.

Isn't this the equivalent of wearing full Team Sky kit on a roadie?

No as I expect road kit is tight lycra for extra ludicrousness.

I had no need for any more shorts......

But I ended up ordering a pair, and a top too - which will probably only get used when it's cold.

Mine turned up today.

They'll be reet for twenty quid. Sizing is a tad on the small side compared to Intrepid, TLD etc.

I'm not a pessimist, but it's obvious that Hope is in shorts supply these days.

IGMC, etc.

Shorts + jersey arrived yesterday here. appearance is certainly challenging on the shorts, might sell them on and get some more endura humvees or similar
