Yeah, I had the first generation ones which were great value but the seat panels were a bit weak according to some. Got a pair of the new ones recently and they are more reinforced so should last well. Given that you can get 3 or 4 pairs for the price of Altura or Endura they are a winter no-brainer for me !

found them to be a bit on the slim side, went for some madison ones instead. really well built and comfy. only downside is no belt loops.

Got about 6 months or so out of mine which is abar what I expected for the money - still usable but stiching has gone in a couple of places on the aris.

I only wear overshorts when it's filthy, though, so that's prob not big time in the saddle at all. OTOH, they're a good fit for me and I've worn out shorts three times the money in the same time. I'd buy them again.

I bought a pair recently but I've only had them on once so can't comment on longevity. They are quite a slim fit. I like that but others may not.

The new ones seem a good bit chunkier on the seat panels so I'm expecting a full winter out of them, which if is the case then good for under £25

Price vs quality they're very good

With the summer we're having these might be worth a punt and if they only last a third of the time my Endura's do, it's still not a bad thing

I've got some, they seem as good as the "big" brands £50+ offerings.

I have their pro line road bibs and jersey too, as comfy as branded Italian stuff for a lot less money. They do really good value kids stuff as well, both my boys have jerseys and gloves etc and they are bearing up well

Definitely worth a punt at the price, yes. Sizing pretty normal, I am 34 waist and wear large - a lot of adjustment with big Velcro waist straps. I tried Mediums but a but tight and as others have said they are fairly slim cut.

Went through 3 pairs in less than a year approximately 4-7 rides each pair. All fell apart at the arse seam.

Errr I'm not a big porker either.
