Found these shorts (that Bikeradar seem to love) insanely cheap in some garish shades, I got a pair in purple for £18 delivered, ordered Thurs evening, turned up today, don’t see how they’re worth £110 but really nice shorts (colour notwithstanding, they also have turquoise);

Then found them on their website in a more subdued grey, with CODE10 you get an extra 10% off, I ordered a pair for a mate as well so came in at under £36. They also have them on the website in a particularly minging yellow/gold for £15

Fill your boots!

meh, fatty sizes only

😉

I’m a 36″ and the large is bang on. If you’re a grown man with a waist less than 34″ then may I cordially suggest you stop fannying about and get some more beer down your neck.

34″?! jesus I’ve got a long way to go then, currently certain large clothes shops need to special order in my size! 😳

Oops looks as though I bought the last one, Hoping for some decent weather to use them in will arrive soon. Ty for the PSA

Cheers – got a pair of Turquoise ones

They’ll clash nicely with my apple green jacket and blue helmet!

I’ve got one of the green endura softshells, planning on looking like I’m in an MBR/MBUK photoshoot!

some great scott deals on that site, cheers!

Got me a set too!! Bargainous!! I might wear the comedy comic strip liner by itself on my road bike!!

i wear scott shorts. lovely and light but durable to wear.
black or brown for me 🙂

mine are path shorts

The liner material is pretty thin and also short on the legs (comfy though), you’d need to be extremely comfortable with your sexuality to wear it by itself!

Anyone else find that Scott clothing comes up small?

I’m normally medium, but had to size up on shorts, gloves and jackets.

I also bought this softshell and reckon it’s a bargain, good fit for casual and snowboarding as well. It’s Gore material too.

My shorts turned up today. I am a 36 waist with chunky quads, and they fit nicely. You may be right about the liner – my wife wouldn’t let me out of the house! The liner comes in a very handy little bag, which has just become my “pedal sack” for use in bike bags/boxes.

Hmmm would it look a bit much to get the turquoise with the matching top?

I bought the turquoise ones too, not sure I could pull off the matching top

I would normally go for the purple but my 5:10s and bag are purple so I can’t see that looking good.

I’m too tight to buy the black.

I got a pair of these in blue when visiting start up in newcastle at christmas (also got a Scott Goretex Active Shell jacket for £49!) – the liners are white lyrca and very very thin, I use them on the turbo but even concealed from the public eye they make me feel like a pervert.

Got mine today – tried the outer short which I rather like in Turquoise. Not tried the liner yet – might have to try them in private when no-ones in from the sound of things.

ive ordered the turquoise and gone for matching gloves too

d30 gloves for a tenner

I was looking at those too, my gloves have holes in them and I haven’t found a suitable replacement.

Cheers dude got the turquiose in large. Google scott shortts sizing chart and it says large for 34″ waste.
Must have put some more on as they has medium too

Mine arrived as well today. Absolute bargain, good fit and really comfy so good I’ve ordered another pair. Also bought my son some Scott gloves for £6!

Thanks for the PSA Dave!

I have those gloves in black. The D30 inserts work really well. They size up quite snug, and feel to small on first fit, but articulate really well, so are actually fine.

Dantsw13 – I’m the same waist/quads as you. what size did you go for? Large or XL?

I went for the L, they didn’t have XL when I ordered. I’d say L are snug at the waist even with the zips set loose but roomy around the bum/legs. XL would probably have been ok at the waist on max tightness.

If you are 36+ go for the XL. 36- go L. Both will be baggy on the thighs.

I’m about a 36 so went for the XL. Scott actually say on their site that 36 is an XL, most companies tend to have 36 as a L.

Mossy: I have the purple shorts, turquoise top and gloves. Please do not copy, we will look like a right pair! 😛

I have ordered the turquoise top and D30 gloves but now I’m going to order the purple top and make sure we are wearing it all at the same time. Ha ha ha.

Thanks guys, gone for XL plus a couple of the short sleeve jerseys. Can’t go wrong at £14.95 and £12.95!

I now have some turquoise goodness ordered, whether my friends will ride with me will be a bridge i will have to cross at a later date.
Really need to build up my Yeti to get the full benifit though.

if anyones gone purple

crc have the perfect camelback

Here are some shoes to complete the look.

I actually have these.

Trust you!

Deus: The purple also goes well against turquoise Yeti’s 😉

just ordered turquoise shorts and purple jersey to “match”. glad i don’t know any of you lot IRL, we’d look like a bunch of bellends out riding together!
i’ll be a right treat wearing this stuff with a blue giro feature helmet, on an orange el guapo…

ive ordered the turquoise and gone for matching gloves too

Kimbers – i’ve looked for those gloves but can’t see the wood for the trees! Can you post the link to them please? 😉

Here you go.

When I see people on the trail wearing these gloves and shorts I shall know how much of a cheapskate they are and refer them to this thread.

I shall point and laugh as I ride alongside then Mossy.

On the glove sizing.. I normally take a Large in Fox/Specialized/Sombrio. The Large in Scott is closer to a medium IMO.

Very nice quality glove with the D30 as previously mentioned.

ae212- would you say the jacket is really a medium?

If you’re referring to this jacket

http://startcycles.co.uk/scott-2012-windstopper-mind-tech-cycling-jacket-221580-0077.html

The large they list in stock is definitely more like a medium. I returned a medium as it was too tight!

There’s also one in black on eBay for a bit more $$$ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Scott-Mind-Tech-Hoody-black-Hoody-Windstopper-Large-/160991466259
