Have been looking at reviews recently for some cycling / walking kit and am amazed how often people put “bought size x and it’s a great fit”.

What bl00dy use is that without some indication of the reviewer’s body size / shape! Totally meaningless, so why do people do it?

I’m sure others can relate equally useless information in reviews…

Yes often noticed that nonsense.

Steve Jones of Dirt mag makes the same comment about lots of bikes too, although he might be making a more subtle point – it’s hard to tell.

“What helmet?”

“My XXXX fits perfectly, get one!”

😕

I find my clothing to be laterally stiff yet vertically compliant. Also, it corners like it’s on rails.

Love my xxl Baa Baa base layer, fits my frame well and makes my man boobs come alive

^^27.5b cup size?

dunno what’s worst. review like that that give no useful information, or those where one review is 5***** excellet quality, lasts forever, and the next is 1* broke, shredded, fallen to bits after one ride.

Same as anecdotal sizing advice for bikes “I’m 6ft and ride a 57” meaningless to anyone but the author yet bike forums are full of these glib useless statements.
