I did buy one of their jerseys a couple of years ago, but my issue then was that I was very slim at the time, and the small (They only make S, M & L) was not fitted enough for me - I'm a bit more tubby of recent so could likely fit into one, but if memory serves you are pretty light, so could be an issue for you.
I'm tempted to get a cargo jersey for long rides, where I can stash lots in all of the pockets, and not need the tailfin rear rack & bag, and or for family rides where I have to take loads of stuff for my daughter.
Reviews of most of their kit I have looked at on their site is glowing, plus some 3rd party press reviews, and of course MvdP on occasion wears their gloves, and overshoes, and possibly some other bits from time to time.

Spatz are the gold standard in overshoes, with their full length thick neoprene that look like wellies being the ultimate if you get cold feet.
The Shiftr jersey looks interesting - the same material as seamless base layers but in jersey form. I suspect it will be incredibly comfortable but given how stretchy the material is I reckon the pockets would sag like crazy. I would definitely give it a whirl for £40 had I not got stocked up like mad in the great Wiggle fire sale at the start of the year.

Probably not much demand on here, but just in case. Chicken Cycles have some huge discounts on Campag wheels; Bora, Hyperon, Shamal Carbon all going at 40-50% off RRP. If you buy through their ebay store you can also get another £40 off with a discount code. Just bagged a set of Shamal Carbon discs for £769 RRP is £1400.
