Anyone had any experience of the Rivelo Winnats thermal bib tights? Going for £49.99 at Sport Pursuit.

Nope, but I really like their Honister bib shorts. That wasn't very helpful, was it?!

I bought a pair of the Winnats yesterday, so will report back as to how they do!

Just bought the new Garmin Vector 3s for £689.99 down from £849.99...

I was told that there was only one other set in the company, so buy quick if you want them!

What other discount did you have to get them that cheap?

Nice one thanks. Be interested to know how warm they run as wondering how much use I'll get out of them now, but saying that this feels like the longest winter known to man so I don't see it ending soon!

I think the Perfetto, on balance, is the best bit of cycling kit I've bought...

Perfetto L/S or Alpha ROS Jersey?

Compared with Rapha PT Jacket (which I currently own)

Both. Sorry. If I had to choose one, the alpha.

Perfetto LS is my current go to.

Rapha PT jacket is good in the dry but Perfetto smashes it once the heavens open.

Ah of course, thank you. Too bad I slept on it, they're not even showing on the site now.

They should certainly outperform the second hand Santini's i bought from Daniel B a couple of winters ago! They have been fantastic for nearly 2 years but I felt a little self-conscious yesterday standing in the supermarket on the way home with a gaping split exposing a good square inch or so of my @r$e cheek!

That's what I was thought, but wasn't sure if that was the gabba ( short sleeve) rather than the perfetto( l/s).
Since I'm waiting for my shimano performance jersey to turn up, I can't really justify it either.

They do vary, the cheaper prices were for the SS (Gabba) and SS (Perfetto light). Sigma and Wiggle have had deals but rarely £99 on all colours and all sizes.

Indeed, as I said, it does vary. It was also that price on Wiggle on that date using a code. But only in limited colours and sizes. All sizes and colours were available, briefly, yesterday on Merlin. It’s not a huge bargain historically but one of the best in terms of range.

10% off with BC.

Interesting... i called them just last week to enquire about using BC discount on the vectors, was told 10% off doesnt apply to cycling technology. Quick check on BC website confirmed this.

Very odd. Halfords doesn't have that limitation

I didn't realise CR had their own part on BC. How odd given that Halfords has no such restriction.
