Whilst perusing Sports Pursuit for base layers, this caught my eye:

https://www.sportpursuit.com/catalog/product/view/id/2336627

Reduced from £870 to £29.99?!
I guess they aren't selling and it's not hard to see why.

Wow, amazing bargain - do you reckon Anthony James is a 1 man band, in a shed in Huddersfield, who is assembling them by hand?

Probably just attaching the straps.

That's the bit that lowers the value I guess - bits sourced elsewhere and then assembled.
Like many watches of value (I presume) but the marketing people stuffed him up.

No personal experience, but I recall Lifa being raved about many times on this forum, I did a quick Lifa search and several posts popped up.

Yes, they are the benchmark synthetic baselayer and used & rated by loads of sports. Have loads. Would thoroughly recommend.

Yep, pretty much mandatory kit in fell running circles.

I remember it being pretty stinky just after a few hours wear. But I thought they might have improved by now.

Only available in XXL.

That's the new version with the extra layer on the shoulders.

Quite a few decent offers in there including gloves and shoes, less than I paid for several of them last autumn.

https://www.planetx.co.uk/deals/q/deal-CLCAPRKRTC These reflective overshoes are great for visibility at night from front and sides £5

https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/elite-direto-smart-turbo-trainer/rp-prod177808 now £425, great older direct drive model for that price, albeit tech has moved on a little since I got mine on release Xmas 2018.

Merlin have the incredible Perfetto jacket/jerset in glorious yellow and all sizes (Currently) for only £110!

Sigma no longer have it for the low price they did - no cashback with Merlin anymore alas.

Thank fook they have it in other colours

When would I use that as opposed to using the Espresso?

Only that colour at 110 though!

I'd say the Espresso 3 is for colder conditions, for me, from sub zero.

The perfetto is more of a race fit if you choose the right size, and in my opinion can cover similar temperatures if layered up appropriately, but intrinsically it isn't for as cold conditions as the Espresso 3.
I wear it for faster road rides in cold conditions, the Espresso for cold conditions when I am not going to be working as hard but want the extra insulation.

*EDIT - I think we may had this exact conversation a few pages back when I posted the same jacket but from Sigma

Ah you bugger, this has now made me aware of this colour combo which they don't have in my size

Some crazy items in here but if you scroll down you can find Oakleys at half price.
Disclaimer - I've not been shopping for them so don't know current prices.

Aren't the green and black ones a better match with your more recent purchases?

daniel_b

Yep you are definitely right, I just am a sucker for a bit of yellow

P.S the censored word was only one that rhymes with rugger!
No offence intended

Planet X are doing the Titanium London road for £999 with sram Rival X1, be rude not too at that price.

I couldn't quite make myself warm to those green Fizik's sadly.

These Northwave Razer 2 shoes caught my eye at £104, and then today dropped to £95 (from £140) @ Merlin, so took a punt on a pair of 44s.

Also popped in a pair of 38-40 sizes NW overshoes for my daughter, that only cost £15 - I've been really impressed with the ones I bought recently.
