For the man who prefers braces

In sure they are good,  but they look a bit oompa band

I’ve got some of those in a fetching deep turquoise. They’re slightly too small but otherwise they’re brilliant. Not much use on a full wet rainy day (obviously they’re shorts…) but puddly splashy days, the high back keeps the splashes on the outside. Wear a top over the braces and no one thinks you’ve left your tuba behind.

Not sure what happened to Polaris. They’ve had that sale on for ages now and seem to be set up as a market place type site rather than just selling their own gear. Shame because their padded undershorts were my absolute favourite. I’ve got a couple of their jackets and a fleecy soft shell thing that are excellent.

@bens I think someone has bought then and are currently planning new designs. They are currently trying to shift the old stock.

I tried on a pair of those polaris shorts, the fit was ridiculously bad… plenty of room round the waist but couldn’t fit my thighs or arse in them!

Not sure if this should be posted here but it looks as though Ethical Superstore are offering 1 day reductions on selected products.  Today you can get up to 33% off selected Miniml personal care, cleaning and laundry products.  This includes various 5 litre products making quite a saving.

You’re surely wearing a jersey and a jacket if it’s wet enough for waterproof shorts and braces though

Agree its a strong look if you go with just shorts and braces

Good shout with the polaris stuff – FYI there waterproof socks are the best I’ve ever had, miles better than sealskinz in my experience. They are a bargain for thirteen quid.

Even more of a bargain when they’re 2 for £20 or 3 for £24

£2.99 postage on top

Noticed some more reductions, namely 30% off,  that may be of interest.  Coffee and cleaning products respectively.

Isn’t it always the way that once you’ve ordered something it gets reduced.  20% off OceanSaver products and fwiw am happy with the recent switch to their laundry sheets.

There’s piles of Montane stuff in their sale.  Minimus jacket is £74. Anyone ever used one of these for running/mtbing?

I have the minimus pull-over from a few years ago. I don’t use it a great deal but it is a nice top. Very light, breathless fairly well, has 4 way stretch to the fabric so very comfortable.

I had a Minimus as well in 2016, used it for the Tour Divide in some horrible conditions and it never let me down. Sadly lost it somewhere between the finish line and Phoenix. I’d definitely buy another, in fact I’m tempted by these….?

Can we go back to individual PSAs for decent bargains, I’m sick of checking this ruddy post only to be constantly disappointed by the updates.

My intention when I started the thread was literally what the title says, but it’s become THE psa thread somehow, perhaps aided by being pinned.

This thread really works well for me! Having all the PSAs in one place is so much more convenient.

@noeffsgiven , someone woke up grumpy this morning!

I found that ^^ post particularly disappointing.

I do enjoy the thread title every time I see it on the front page.

Anyway, I wouldn’t want to disappoint noeffs, so Sale of Etnies trainers. (How do you pronounce Etnies anyway?)

@kitchener I have a Minimus for running. I bought my wide one too. I’m not sure I’d use it for MTB though as it really is very light and feels quite delicate. It wouldn’t stand up to a fall and would likely even be ripped by thorns etc.

@kitchener @scotroutes

Have they changed the fabric recently or have I misremembered which Montane jacket I had? It certainly wasn’t a flimsy item.
