So annoying! Was waiting until I got paid today to order some stuff and now it's back to rrp. Arghhh!

Yeh I was hoping to pick up some more bibs after trying them and seeing the quality.

Boxing day sale in a couple of days though so get a second go hopefully

Got my second batch now.

Windproof jersey very nice, lovely chunky zip & close but not uncomfortable fit. Just hope it's long enough and the rear doesn't pull up when riding.

Got a few more baselayers, all fit nice and seem very good quality. I'm sorted for these for the next 20 years now I reckon.

Liner gloves fit great in medium, which is a relief as I usually go large but didn't want to risk them being baggy for obvious reasons.

Winter neoprene overshoes seem good quality and chunky, hope they fit OK.

All in all a superb PSA, well done folks.

Whooop. My Cadence bibs turned up. Great fit and feel well made with decent amount of reflective bits.
I'm 5'6 with 32 waist and around a 30 inside leg....medium were fine. Legs are a little bit long, but nothing major. Small might have been ok but the M are quite snug fitting so happy overall.

As above the RBS socks are two pairs which was great. It didn't say in the description but did say at the basket it was a 2 pack so want really sure what I'd get. Nice and bright so good for roadie action...

Well my delivery arrived - I'm really happy! The base layer is really good - a great fit and seems really comfy. The tights are great too, first ride on the commute tomorrow. Great psa (second time lucky for me!)

Yep, big +1 for OP PSA.

Ended up placing 4 orders over the last 10 days. All were delivered NBD with everything as requested.

Very happy with everything so far ...

Tornado tights are excellent - already been out in them twice and they're an excellent cut and very warm.

Tornado jacket is crazy value too. Really well specced and proper comfy when biking and running. Can see how it RRPs at £95 and I got 2 for £25 each. Insane.

Base layers are epic. Prefer them to my finest HH. And they're only a fiver!

Gloves - dry grip and flouro hoolie - are excellent fit and cut.

Aquanaut holdall is the only odd thing. Looks a bit [i]council workman[/i] and has velcro seals. But it's big, seems durable and for £20 it's more than good enough for carting around my outdoor gear at work.

Jerseys not yet opened, but imagine them to be equally good.

Must've saved £300+ 🙂

Yep great PSA! I bought a few base layers which are great for a fiver - can see me using them a lot. Also got the missus a softshell, which she loves.

My kit arrived yesterday, really pleased with the softshell jsacket, cadence bibs and merino socks.
I too went back to buy some more only to find it back at RRP!

Try again on boxing day

Do we think the prices will be the same in the boxing day sale as the flash sale?

I have already done 3 orders but still feel like I need more.

One order is enough for me. Are you a hoarder? Buying for buying sake is wasteful.

Seems good quality - the neoprene gloves are very odly sized though- large is very very slender.

I bought the mediums and they're, well, medium. Same as any POC, Endura, Gore, Sealskinz gloves I've bought.

I'm sure they're supposed to be a tight fit.

No im not a hoarder. I commute 5 days a week all year and proper ride 4-5 times a week so having lots of clothes is easier than constantly washing A few items.

Long sleeve base layer with neck zip is a winner for £5! Enough of a thing to look like a general top as well as a functioning base layer. Did well on a Peak road ride.

Windproof jersey lived up to its name yesterday on a blustery road ride, with just one of the short sleeve base layers underneath.

Not quite as good as the endura one we had a psa on recently, but marvellous for £20.

Had a proper look at the aquanought holdall today, having turned it into a Christmas gift.

Is it just me or is the closure system really confusing?

Worn the "enduro" soft shell today. Bloody brilliant in biting winds whilst out on the hillsides.

So, is Polaris owned by Planet X?

Cha****ng - is the holdall decent? Am tempted but it's probably way bigger than I want

Nope, just takes a bit of fettling. I like how you can roll it down tight with varying amounts of stuff in it.

I got the holdall. Bit of a bargain for a well made waterproof bag. Closure seems easy enough to me.

Yeah I retrieved the instructions from the bin where my wife had stored them.

Used it for a Christmas trip, quite like it now.
