Planet x clothing

[Solecyclist]

I don't know about anybody else but I've just bought some socks and a new bib outfit from planet x. They are not very old at all I've thrown 3 pairs of socks away as they are threadbare on the heels already and the Roubaix bib is starting to bobble wouldn't advise any body to buy planet x apparel.... Really poor quality!

I've had some very good items from there

But.......
Sizing seems very 'hit & miss' dependant on items/their suppliers

I've got one jacket that's a 'L' & it's skin-tight
Likewise, I have an On-One l/s jersey 'M' that I could almost wear over my down jacket

I think you often get what you pay for...PX is cheap stuff

Have you complained to them?

Exactly.

I've found a few good value things, and bought multiples (I totally rate their merino arm-warmers - the orange ones actually match our club kit!). Generally I'm very wary, try to stick to branded items that are in a clearance sale (e.g. a Vittoria tyre, or a tin of WD40 you know what you are getting!)

Very very poor. Only their Das Boots have ever been worth the money because they were half price.

That reminds me - I bought 2 pairs of decent (and v cheap) MTB shoes recently. Quite plain, with and without those weird "Boa"-type things.
I've only worn the velcro pair, but they seem just as good as similar Shimano equivalent.

You get what you pay for. I like their winter bib tights, the zip always falls apart after a couple of rides but they work without. Cheep enough that you don't have to worry about trashing them in a fall or constant tumble drying!

I'm no fan of PX but the merino stuff I have from them is all very good value. The arm warmers I've had for years & still going strong & I have a few pairs of merino socks which must be 3 years old now

Is it the orange splat ones you like? My wife may have some size small that she doesn't like

The helmets are good value and the OnOne shorts are a steal and have lasted as long as some of my more expensive stuff, also the over shoes with the velcro fastenings are fantastic value.

i was looking at some shorts they have

but the pad doesnt look flat stitched ?

I have some of the clubman shorts , simple pad but comfy I did buy some more expensive shorts recently and they gave me a saddle sore as the shape of the pad had a really defined edge which cut me up and felt not right from the start

I've only bought overshoes from them. £10 a pair and very good value provided one accepts they fall apart after one winter. Cheap products are cheap for a reason.

The helmets are good value and the OnOne shorts

Can I ask which shorts?

Don't overshoes always fail fairly soon on the bottom from a bit of unavoidable walking on them?
Duct tape.
Silver, to show that you care not about the fashion police. I have some Alturas that are donkey's years old.

Have a few of their branded jerseys for my daily commute. Pretty good for the price. Well made and fit well.
