Worked for me yesterday. Supposedly valid until 28th. Looks like they've pulled it, which isn't very nice. I'd be emailing them.

The pic my mate sent me from their shop was that the code was august17 and it worked on a test earlier this evening.

The pic he sent snipped off the expiry date so at least I've found that out. :lol:

Roadie/slim cut, so size up, but this is a no frills very lightweight (<150gm) properly breathable and waterproof jacket that fits in a jersey pocket. Any colour as long as it's silvery grey. Been pissed on twice in mine and stayed nicely dry. Also wore it over a mid night jersey to test sweatiness and it was as good as a non waterproof windproof.
Definitely not a mountain jacket, but to stick in a jersey pocket for British summer or wear for couple of hours commute etc, it's ideal.
Good find - just took delivery of mine defo size up - still a wee bit short in the body but fine for the stated purpose - a burlier and much cheaper alternative to those fancy goretex things that only weigh a bit less

Just had a marketing email from subzero, with a code

SZ20AUG for 20% off. It caught my eye as amongst the products on the email were tick tweezers - following on from the Lymes disease thread.

They do a range of tick related stuff.

Not sure if it wasn't mentioned here, but Passport cycles have very attractive prices for bikepacking bags.

That's a bargain!

Small heads up though, they're not the longest (I'm 6'3 and they're too short for me) and there's no silicone at the top to hold them up. Not as good as my other ones, but a lot cheaper. Used them fine on my commute this morning

I'm also cruising PX right now - was going to buy the 'perform' ones as I can spare the extra 2 quid :grin:

Are they better, as I'd assume? https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CLOOMPAW/ ... rm-warmers

No idea TBH. I was looking for some disc road wheels last night for a singlespeed conversion and came across these https://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/WPGIROEQ/g ... c-wheelset (now on order :-bd )so had a look around and noticed that the arm warmers were cheap.

I've just bought a set of leg warmers for £3 from Polaris. Loads of other stuff in their sale, £5 for an MTB jersey and £10 for a road one.

14p for a tube of High 5 electrolyte tabs, presumably a pricing mistake. Fiver postage but worthwhile if you're buying a few.

The merino knot ones are may favourite of all the arm warmers I've ever tried. Stay up well but easy to get up/down. Light. Cheap.

We have loads of them as the kids use them as leg warmers too!

Not sure that it's a mistake. Look what happens to the postage when you select more than one.

I'm not sure I've ever used them on the bike, but they're good for shifting a hangover :lol:

1200mha so only a single phone charge, but great for a top up over night on single nighters and it's been running one of those plug in LED's that Stu reviewed for the past 5 hours without any heat given off.
