"Explore the world and leave no footprint with our 5* reviewed, award-winning 73 Zero jacket. Like you, they are made of more. 100% recycled materials AND are fully recyclable".

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

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/

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).

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)

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?

I’d proceed with caution with that site, too good to be true

Absolutely 100% a scam.

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

Even cheaper at Inspiral Cycles, if they've got your size/colour preference: https://www.inspiralcycles.co.uk/clothi ... oes__12734
They're local-ish to me, and worth supporting.
