well I bought 4 pairs of shorts, a gillet and 3 pairs of socks, gillet is going back, zips broken and IMO they aint as good as my previous purchases. Now the shorts, is it just me or is the chamois pad in the wrong position 
These shorts show of the twins play pen a bit much Think I might wear them with another pair underneath as they are thin anyway. You pays your money I suppose but the quality doesn`t seem quite as good as they were before ?

I noticed the issue with the shorts - didn't need any, but the chammy is way too low - more a lady's fit !

My gilet went back to, the one I bought a couple of years back was loads better! This one was a really odd fit as well, seemed to finish at my bellybutton...

Sad to say my gillet is going back - zip broke first time on. Local store had much less stock this year and it seems poorer quality than previous sales. But it is cheap.
I bought 2 of the gillets, haven't seen previous year versions. For the money they are very good, nice touches like mesh back and stash pocket.
The bib shorts are a strange fit, they're all lumpy at the hem (and no, it's not the shape of my legs
).
Think I'll flog 'em on ebay as it's less hassle than taking them back.

Yeap, the bid shorts have the padding too far to the rear end :lol but when riding they feel great - I bought 3 of them and I'm not returning them, actually, I think they feel better than my other shorts.

I bought two pairs of the bib shorts and the insert does seems to have been sewn in wrong - there is way too much up the back and nothing covers the boys up front! In fact from the rear it looks like I've done a big job!

They're great on the bike though... I kept one pair of the two I bought (I'll use them on the commute, so the somewhat revealing frontage won't be a problem (they're under baggies)).
