Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

I use a pair of old skiing gloves, good feel, plenty toasty, probably less waterproof now than they once were, but then I try *really* hard not to ride in the rain...

I was actually looking at ski gloves originally but couldn't find a cheap pair. Tkmaxx had some decent ones but they were all around £12.

£12 is nothing just buy them! I've paid £40+ and that was - erm 8-10 years ago!
TKMax are very good, they're stuff is discounted but quality, rather than cheap 'and nasty'.

That's cheap, they'll get years of use, and not just for cycling.

To be fair, I do feel like a Power Ranger when I wear them. I assumed the hard plastic bits are for low hanging branches though there aren't many on the canal path

They are for when you crash spectaculaly into that tree or rock on the local black run . Decathlon and Aldi have MTB gloves like those, but without the armour. I find thick gloves on the MTB affect grip and brake feel (especially when your brakes need just one finger).

Seems to be part of a wider sale too.

Also available via Debenhams if that works for you... It works for me in terms of collection and returns. I find craghoppers sizes hop around.

I will check out the ski gloves in Tkmaxx again then if £12ish is cheap. Can't remember the brands but they must be ok as a woman bought 2 pairs whilst I was looking. I'm just quite tight with money and it seemed a lot.

Not cycling gear, but Mountain Warehouse have some cheap coats on their eBay store. I got this for £21 delivered, whereas it's about £35 on their main website.

As modelled by the Invisible Man:

Edit: Mine arrived yesterday. Very happy with it for the money. Feels quite thin but was warm enough on a cold day. Excellent value at £21 delivered. Only downside is there is no inside pocket to put my phone in.

Will let you know soon

25 mile mile ride yesterday with no problems, must be the shape of you?

Please report back.
Assuming not many grabbed it at that price one might think they would honour it.

Well they issued a PayPal refund, no explanation/apology email nothing!

Endura 3/4 tights.

Only XL and above left.

£15.

edit - they are good - I bought some a while ago at £15 while they were ping-ponging between £15 and £25.

I think some folk may have been put off by the description of them as "knickers" - they ARE outerwear - not base layer or underwear.
