@bens I think someone has bought then and are currently planning new designs. They are currently trying to shift the old stock.

I tried on a pair of those polaris shorts, the fit was ridiculously bad... plenty of room round the waist but couldn't fit my thighs or arse in them!

Not sure if this should be posted here but it looks as though Ethical Superstore are offering 1 day reductions on selected products.  Today you can get up to 33% off selected Miniml personal care, cleaning and laundry products.  This includes various 5 litre products making quite a saving.

In sure they are good, but they look a bit oompa band

You're surely wearing a jersey and a jacket if it's wet enough for waterproof shorts and braces though

Agree its a strong look if you go with just shorts and braces

Good shout with the polaris stuff - FYI there waterproof socks are the best I've ever had, miles better than sealskinz in my experience. They are a bargain for thirteen quid.

Even more of a bargain when they're 2 for £20 or 3 for £24

Noticed some more reductions, namely 30% off,  that may be of interest.  Coffee and cleaning products respectively.

https://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/special-offers/groceries-and-everyday/cafedirect.html

https://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/special-offers/cleaning-and-household/ecover.html

Isn't it always the way that once you've ordered something it gets reduced.  20% off OceanSaver products and fwiw am happy with the recent switch to their laundry sheets.

There's piles of Montane stuff in their sale.  Minimus jacket is £74. Anyone ever used one of these for running/mtbing?

I have the minimus pull-over from a few years ago. I don't use it a great deal but it is a nice top. Very light, breathless fairly well, has 4 way stretch to the fabric so very comfortable.

I had a Minimus as well in 2016, used it for the Tour Divide in some horrible conditions and it never let me down. Sadly lost it somewhere between the finish line and Phoenix. I'd definitely buy another, in fact I'm tempted by these....?

My intention when I started the thread was literally what the title says, but it's become THE psa thread somehow, perhaps aided by being pinned.

@kitchener I have a Minimus for running. I bought my wide one too. I'm not sure I'd use it for MTB though as it really is very light and feels quite delicate. It wouldn't stand up to a fall and would likely even be ripped by thorns etc.

@kitchener @scotroutes

Have they changed the fabric recently or have I misremembered which Montane jacket I had? It certainly wasn't a flimsy item.

Thanks for the Montane PSA, thats two new jackets sorted.

My turn - 50% off the Affinity suite (Photo, Publisher and Design). Its a decent alternative to the Adobe stuff but you only pay £79.99 to own it outright.

£200 for a carbon frame does seem hard to ignore! These never-ending Planet X deals aren't helping me sell my lightly used Scandal frame though... keep meaning to list it, but it's probably only a hundred quid's worth right now.

If its a medium, PM me, as I might be interested in taking that off your hands to replace my BigWig with a seized seatpost!
