Slightly cheaper than the new Patagonia one made from fishing nets...

30% off. And another 10% off first order.
It may be 10%+30% additional discount = 40%.
0r 10% of 30% =3%, so 33%,
..it all marketing.... Enjoy your bargain...

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
It says it's fully recyclable. "Like you". Well that's a bit morbid. Ashes to ashes, polyester to polyester.

I read this and was about to call "greenwashing!" since I've never seen any recycling scheme that accepts clothing, but it seems I was wrong, so fair play: https://bambooclothing.co.uk/how-to-rec ... -0-jacket/RIP wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 10:09 pm https://bambooclothing.co.uk/shop/mens- ... ket-slate/

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
It's a lot of money, even reduced, compared to Decathalons synthetic offerings. I'm pretty confident I'll get my environmental-monies-worth out of any jacket compared to the fast-fashion craziness. Still, nice there's a bit more sustainability in some clothes.
BAM not high up on my list of technical clothing peeps though. I'm not a hater, sitting here in a couple of bits from them and a poah-viscose T.

Rapanui do proper Circular Organic Clothing, not that I'd wear it on the bike mind... If you care about morals and ethics and what not, then Ethical Consumer do not think much of Decathlon or their sub-brands (based of their ethical outdoor gear list), BAM are middling (based of their ethical underwear list).thenorthwind wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 9:49 amI read this and was about to call "greenwashing!" since I've never seen any recycling scheme that accepts clothing, but it seems I was wrong, so fair play: https://bambooclothing.co.uk/how-to-rec ... -0-jacket/RIP wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 10:09 pm https://bambooclothing.co.uk/shop/mens- ... ket-slate/

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Very much on the sleek, roadie style clothing, but there is up to 70% off sportfull gear at saddleback cycles. I just bought one of their fiandre light jackets (shower proof/windproof softshell) and wore it for the first time for the commute today. Rainy on the way home, and I was so impressed with the jacket that I did an extra half hour into the weather just because I felt so comfy and had no reason to rush...
Sizing is decidedly "race" though, I'm 6'1 and fairly slim, and the large is spot on (I'm usually a medium in t-shirts or tops)

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
I know this probably isn't the target demographic for Italian bibshorts, but various ale (with an accent on the e, rather than the Newcastle brown variety) products are currently discounted on wiggle, including larger sizes of their very excellent shorts for 30 quid. As is the norm for Italian stuff, they're based around a coppi-esque norm and, for reference their XXL shorts fit me very nicely at 6ft, 14st, 34w and large thighs.

If anyone tall is looking for a Cutthroat, Lyon equipment have a 58cm ex display apex model on their site for £2535. I think the frame alone is at least £2k.

I spotted the other day that PX were doing Jack Flash 29er frames for £99. Appear to be awaiting stock but seems like a good price.

Also, a tent for £55. Not sure about the stated weight - seems heavier than it ought to be?

Absolutely 100% a scam.
Went live 2 days ago and registration expires in a year. Hoping to scam you and vanish into the ether.

I reported a similar site to RAB last year. They were aware, but couldn't do anything

They're local-ish to me, and worth supporting.
