Just had an email from them ,their new jerseys have arrived and have a few minor issues so selling at silly prices. This is NOT the same deal as a couple of days ago, these tops are different and better IMO.
Ordered myself a nice blue one 😀

Anyone know what the sizing is like on these?
Looked like a bargain to me so i've gone for a blue & a yellow one (commuting)
Nice to see a zippable pocket on the rear (looking at the pic) for more phone/key security.
I went for large over my usual medium looking at the size guide.
Usually XL (broad shouldered, honest 😳 ), but gone for XXL.
I liked the zippable pocket too.
Tempted to get a yellow one too now...
Usually a medium, but measuring round my nips I seem to be 40, so going to have a shot on Large.
2 blue s/sleeve ones please mr shopkeeper!
I like the sound of the musty smelling bib longs.
Usually a medium too but gone for a large in the short sleeve blue and the tights. How long do they take to deliver? May get some more if the size is ok.

Couple of days usually.
I'm usually a 38" chest, thinking about medium or large. Any one know what size would be best?
*waits for them all to be sold off cheap next week on teh classiflids*

It's a brand new product, only just released...
Nah, I will just eat more until it fits.
Hmm 36 chest here and went for a large, now thinking it may be a little too large 😕
It probably won't be.
Size Guide (inches) S M L XL XXL

What do I do with a 38 inch chest and waist?! Am I abnormal?

If it doesn't fit I'll give it way free on the classifieds! Cost me less than a tenner.

Jamie, if it doesn't fit then it's yours!
Nice!
This is a STRICT ONE-OFF NO RETURNS PROMOTION - NO EXCHANGES, NO SWAPS
is that legal?
Why does the page say 'From £9.99 75% off [s]£39.99[/s] free UK delivery' then charge add £2.50 delivery in me basket?
The shipping page says 'Free, Free, Free on all orders over £10.01...Orders of £10 or under will cost £2.50 to ship.' ... but that def isn't what the jersey page says ....
it says all jerseys are 14.99 when i look, yet there's references for 9.99 jerseys ??!
[edit] numpty, long sleeve are 14.99 🙂
How does the sizing on the bib work out? I'm not the biggest chap, but an inside leg of 24 inches...? I font get it? My inside leg is 32 inches, which would be xxxxxl...
DrP
"In others the jerseys are still a touch damp, there’s nothing really wrong, but were worried if they are on our shelves for a period of time then there could be a bit of mold"
Sounds a bit dodgy... anyone willing to buy one as a guinea pig and find out? 🙂
I have, and I believe quite a few others have too. Shall report when it arrives.
Those tight sizes are a bit ?????????
A bit???
Ok a lot?????
Don't follow
Blue one looks nice, I have ordered a L/S one in large.
Thanks for P.S.A. ordered a l/s blue jersy, looks slick!
Blue s/s and Bib on the way...both XL
Hmmm, 42" chest so I went for xxl. Hopefully I'll be able to get a shirt under it in cold weather. More hopefully, it won't be hanging on me like a big blue binbag
2 blue for me, a long and a short sleeve, got the chance to use up my voucher code for a free beanie that I got with my last order from Planet X.
Thanks for the PSA.
Tempted - the sizing looks really odd though - are they mega small? I'm normally a medium in most brands but according to that chart I need to be buying XL....
L/S in the blue...nice!
Big sizes are fubar though, in side leg of a dwarf....I'd have a pair if I could figure it out
A note on the bib tights sizing http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/CLPXBIBT/planet-x-super-roubaix-bib-tights- Measurements are unstretched shorts. I've added a row in the sizing chart for approx rider height, although with any bib tights sizing is a combination of height and waist size. Hope that helps.
My jerseys arrived this morning.
Can't see anything wrong with them at all. Great quality. Good fit.
(I'm normally a L and ordered XL)
Very pleased

Hmmm, I ordered xxl on the grounds that every other set of shorts I've had from on-one/px needed to be an xxl for approx 36" waist. But I'm only 6ft 1. Oh well, just have to see what turns up. Guess next week someone needs to start a thread on which everyone can post to arrange swapping sizes 😀
I can see a "swap top shop" starting here soon 😉
Ordered 2, hope they fit....
Just ordered a large long sleeve blue and bib tights for next winters commute. Can't complain at those prices, hopefully will fit okay.
Yeah On One sizing does seem to be ridiculously small but is not as small as it sounds. I once asked what size I should be based on their measurements and they got back to my saying XXL... WAY too big, hangs off me like a bin bag (back when they were doing their black jerseys for £15). I later visited the showroom and tried them on in person, turns out I needed a large (normally an M), so one size over should suffice. It's recommended that you err on the smaller sizes when buying lycra anyway...
Just ordered the long and short sleve blue ones, look ace. Hopefully they won't have mold on or anything of the sort...
If it helps I wear a 42" dress shirt but could get away with a 44 too.
Ordered the Nonnas Long Sleeve Jersey after the last PSA and it is 'snug' but wearable. Bit tight on the waist, but most things ar these days 🙁
Top quality kit though (compared to the Aldi and Endura stuff in the wardrobe).
Got mine today. I am an xl so ordered xl top and bib.
Both perfect fit and perfect condition. Superb bargain and super fast delivery to the Highlands.
Also just got my LS jersey and bibs. Both were medium, which is my usually size (6'1", 33" inside leg, 38" chest), and they fit great. No dampness detected and I can't see any cosmetic problems.
38" chest
...that bodes well for me ordering a large @ 40" chest.
Was hoping the postie would be here before I went out, but no joy. Looks like one more road ride wearing my mtb stuff 8)
if anyone gets some bibs in medium that don't fit, fire me an email and ill be more than happy to buy them off you.

Postie has just delivered my large short sleeve. 36 chest here and while it fits, I would say it's more of an mtb fit than a road fit. I'll probably order a couple of mediums for road use and keep the large for mtb rides. Tempted to get a long sleeve but suspect sleeves will be way too short on the medium.
Mine arrived too - one long, one short (oh, and some orange Ourys for my Brompton!). Both in perfect shape with none of the issues they said there might be.
I'm normally somewhere between M and L, went for L and the fit is spot on.
Mine have just arrived too, one short sleeve and one long sleeve, both blue. They are the tiniest bit damp but none of the issues mentioned - no marks on the back of the neck from the tag and no mould either. Going straight in for a wash right now and should be fine. They look absolutely stunning - probably the best looking jerseys I own now, and the full length zip will be welcome on hot summer days. The zipped pocket on the rear for car keys is welcome too - more manufacturers should include that.
One odd thing about the sizing though is that the short and long sleeves differ slightly - while the short is nice and tight around the waist the long seems to hang off a bit. Seems slightly different to their older long sleeve jerseys. At this price though I'm not complaining.

I'm kinda lanky and the arms on my medium seem fine, although i've not sat on a bike, just stretched my arms out a bit.

Hmmm, I'm wondering whether these particular Planet X jerseys are not of their usual Italian slimline sizing. I'm normally a L but went for an XXL, as I have with other Planet X tops. I fear that I might be modelling a baggy comedy cycling top when the postie arrives at work on Monday 😕
If anyone gets a xxl blue short sleeve that's too big send me an email and I'll buy it off you.
Cheers
Just got the bibs and I'm not happy. They changed the description since i ordered. The original description clearly stated padded bibs, these are not and i would not have bought them otherwise. I'll be sending these back "no returns promotion" or not...
My jerseys arrived this morning.Can't see anything wrong with them at all. Great quality. Good fit.
(I'm normally a L and ordered XL)
Very pleased
+1
I ordered one L/S, one S/S and a bib.
The jerseys are great, but the zip's gone on the bibtights.
As nockmeister says, the description has changed, I was prepared to let the lack of a pad go, but faulty goods?
That's a different matter.
Mine turned up today ordered them yesterday and nothing wrong with them no marks and bone dry 🙂 I like the long sleeve top, it's slightly thicker than the short sleeve and even though both are XL the long sleeve seems to fit better.
mine arrived bit smelly/musty but not hat bad but no marks went for medium given all the comments above but would have got away with small [snug but not quite tight] despite being some way from a 24 inch waist
Long and short sleeve turned up today. I normally wear a medium in everything, but upped this to a large based on the sizing chart. Quite happy with the fit - slightly on the "comfort" side of things, so I could almost certainly have gone for my usual medium for a slightly sportier fit. The slightly heavier feel of the long sleeve jersey is ace - I'm going to order up another of these (and I'll be getting the same size as sleeve length seems spot on).
Bib turned up today!!
XL ordered to be safe and fits perfectly, sometimes I am a large...
No damp, no musty smells
Superb!!
Thanks Mr On-one 😆
Mine arrived today.
No dampness, smells, marks anything.
Looks wicked as well.
Got my long sleeve blue top through this morning, looks ace IMO.
It was a *little* damp, nothing major and the sizing was exactly as the chart said.
I went for XL and it fits around the chest, but is a bit tight around the belly... I suspect that's mostly my fault though - not the top! :]
Just ordered another two medium short sleeve, one blue and one yellow, and a medium long.
Expecting to go out riding tomorrow and see hundreds of them out and about!
Thanks for the headsup, I needed some new commuting tops.
I'm 5'8" and a 39" chest, so gone for 2 large long sleeved, and a large short sleeved 😀
Hey you lot! stop ordering more! My sngle order/test size hasn't arrived yet and I'll be miffed if they are out of stock before I get a cahce to try it on and order more! 😉
mttm:Quite happy with the fit - slightly on the "comfort" side of things, so I could almost certainly have gone for my usual medium for a slightly sportier fit.
Likewise. I did actually email them and said the usual italian jersey, like the Nonnas ones, were nice and tight in Large and was advised to go for the same. Bit miffed as all the mediums are gone now, but I guess I am covered if I put any weight on 😉
Saying that, if anyone wants to get rid of a blue medium s/sleeve give me a shout.
my xxl's arrived today. Perfect and no problems with them.
I am a 44 chest and they fit just fine.
Arrived today, seems to be perfectly fine.
I would usually be a medium, bought a large.
It's a little long in the arm and a little short in the body - but within acceptable parameters for £15.
Happy with it anyway.
🙂
My LS XXL in blue arrived this morning and fits fine, in a slighty baggy kind of way. No fungal colonies or hibernating amphibians nestling in the damp fabric. In fact, mine was bone dry with no dirty marks or nothing. Defintely larger sizing than the Nonna or regular Planet X jerseys though.
Also got a free cotton SS On-One T shirt for posting a piccy of my Inbred on their site. It looked like one of their LS ones that someone had taken scissors to to turn it into a short sleeve T. 😕
Guys, I'd've been just as happy if it'd arrived with the full length sleeves still attached 😉
Right, that's enough cycling jerseys for me for a year or two.
Mine arrived on Saturday, bone dry, no marks, top notch jersey for £12.50! Wish I'd bought two.
I got L and I'm normally a M - fits just dandy.
Got mine today also, xxl bib seems just about right, xxl ls shirt way too big. Already unloaded it & going to try down a size.
All of it in excellent condition though, well worth a punt
I've bought 2 lrg ones... depending on how tight others like there lycra mine might be up for grabs.
Blue L/S XL arrived Saturday, slightly big if I'm honest but it'll be find over the to the other stuff so im not that fussed.
However, I would swap for a large if anone is interested!!
Mine arrived on Saturday.
Got an email this morning saying it had been despatched.
On the off-chance that anyone has a Medium long-sleeve blue that is a little too small and would be willing to swap it for a large one (unmarked, unridden of course), my email is in my profile.
Got mine yesterday. 2 x short sleeved shirts + 1 x tights. All in perfect condition.
Ordered 2 x long sleeved shirts this morning. Silly not to. 😀
My sizing all fits perfectly.
5'11 tall = Large tights
42" chest, 34" waist = XL shirts
Well my xxl tights turned up yesterday and they seem to fit ok despite only being 6'1. Ordered some XLs for comparison which turned up today.... will try them later and flog the size that fits least well.
really? 38" Chest is large??
I mean when did you see someone with a 38 inch chest and think... Oooh that's a big fella!
Just got mine .. great deal happy with fit and can't see a single mark atm
I mean when did you see someone with a 38 inch chest and think... Oooh that's a big fella!
never but I have thought it of a fair few ladies
