    DHB, except for things I receive as presents – which I have to admit are a bit nicer.

    Gore when it’s cheap or used. Specialized and Dhb the rest of the time. Specialized for gloves, shoes and hats. Rapha doesn’t do it for me at all.

    Rapha.

    Assos for shorts, Rapha for jerseys.

    It’s just what seems to fit best, Assos tops are just too short and square, Gore shorts aren’t long enough.

    Aldi or Sports Direct.

    DHB if I’m feeling flush with cash

    Dhb between those too but most of my road kit is Giordana from the sales.

    Rapha is a bit gauche now, LeCol, Assos and the odd bit of limited edition Milltag and superdomestik plus club kit (not trade team FKW kit)

    I go towards whatever is in the sale, apart from the DHB Dyno shorts, as they are nifty.

    Used to be Rapha for me but now I’m a massive Castelli fan

    Random cheap stuff.

    Sometimes DHB, sometimes Endura, sometimes decathlon, sometimes Fox etc … once it was Rapha.

    Just whatever seems good value.

    I always end up wrecking gear, no point in expensive and I’d rather have 2 decent bits of kit than one excellent.

    Rapha out to two mentioned, but mostly Sportful.

    (assuming this is a roadie-based thread)

    Castelli and Assos seem to be cut for a slightly different shape to me (glad its not just me, tlr), I’m a Giordana man; the FRC range, naturally. Oddly Sportful (same owners as Castelli) bibs fit okay.

    I bought some DHB bibs cheap (and even PSA’ed em as they were on offer), probably one of their cheaper range but they are pony; the lycra is baggy and loose with little tension and the pad is too soft and bunches up.

    Gore

    DHB is feeling a bit frugal

    Rapha when I can get hold of the discounts.

    Sportful too.

    My DHB kit gets used for commuting and shorter MTB rides. The higher end race stuff is ok too. Decent pad, but not on par with the Sportful race pads.

    Sportful and Etxeondo for road, don’t like DHB tops but rate their bibs. Endura for MTB. Too much of a cheapskate to try Rapha 😛

    Rapha, my kit is being washed 4x a week at the moment and still looks like new, Touring Shorts, Bibs, Jersey, worn on the Road bike and MTB

    had an 18 month old pair of GT Shoes, damaged in a crash, replaced with a new pair, superb!

    just sent a 4 year old pair of touring shorts back for a worn out crotch, free return, free repair,

    Jerseys – whatever I like the style off – a mix of morvelo/castelli/gore
    Bibs – assos and gore

    Loads and Loads of cheap scott stuff in the sales…should keep me going for several seasons!

    I like Rapha’s tshirts…a bit different

    should’ve mentioned howies – their recent bib short is simply superb !

    I’ve got a right old mish mash of kit. Some dhb, as I really like the (pre Honda) Wiggle team bib shorts, which they don’t make any more. Also a big Pearl Izumi fan, as the quality and fit are excellent.

    No Rapha, it’s a bit hipster / celeb for my tastes.
