Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Despite being TNT who got thoroughly blatted by ransomware a couple of weeks ago.

Possibly because. I think they've lost business for the way they and parent FedEx treated the customers they let down, basically redirecting them to FedEx who treated them as new ad-hoc urgent customers no different to you or I.

Anyone ever used them under a pair of overshoes for extra warmth?

Yes I agree roubaix - I never spend much on overshoes - they all shred even if you make great efforts to hardly walk in them.

I use a pair under over shoes in winter,does a good job keeping toes warm. Webpage days sold out but 10+ available?

Dare2B 'Fired Up' Windshell jacket, reduced from £40.00 to £15.95 in "blaze" (hi-viz orange), blue or black, or £24.95 in hi-viz yellow.

I've had one for a few years and they're a good deal at under £16 (although I'm not too sure about the RRP of £40...) - they're definitely showerproof rather than waterproof, but are a decent enough lightweight jacket that easily fits into a back pocket on a jersey for those days when you're not quite sure of the forecast. I've just ordered a new one as mine is starting to get a bit tatty...

I haven't found it too bad in that respect to be honest - I've paid a lot more for kit that performs worse.

@vickster found the Pearl Izumi outlet shop (online but also apparently in Pompey) when I realised I was down to one pair of decent shorts and they are PI.

Everything seems to be about 1/2 price.

Picked up a new pair of the shorts I have and love for £25 and also the bib version of the same for £35. They seem very decent and have a "drop-tail" design, which means no need to strip in cafe loos.


Also lots of other bargains, including men's bibs for £25, albeit without the drop-taili feature.

Free delivery for goods over £50 took about 22 hours! Despite being TNT who got thoroughly blatted by ransomware a couple of weeks ago.

I have two pairs of their bibshorts which I like. I almost always buy stuff in sales

I'm not following. That caused the excellent service I received, or the ransomware attack?

I suspect their response to the ransomware attack means some customers have gone elsewhere, thereby freeing up capacity and producing the excellent service you experienced.

Arrived today which isn't bad as it was ordered on Monday lunchtime and I chose the "standard" 3-5 working days delivery option.
I ordered the "blaze" colour as a) it was cheaper than a yellow one and b) my old one is yellow and I fancied a change - it's a bit more 'red' than your usual hi-viz orange, but still easily bright enough for my needs.

You just cost me £30! Got a pair of Movistar mitts and a matching gilet to go with the kit I already have. I don't have a gilet so it is essential!

Thanks @Spiderweb - just got one of the Sky jerseys for £25. Now to annoy the purists by teaming it with baggy shorts when riding either the MTB or the hybrid
