    I have one jersey and a few L/S base layers.
    The jersey was £20 and is very comfortable.
    The base layers are the best I have.

    I have some of their old Mapei kit. The quality is as good as Santini, etc.

    The sizing tends to be slightly bigger than Santini, Nalini, etc.

    Is that the ebay stuff from China?

    Wiggle sell the kit for Saxo Bank but it's so expensive.
    I have the Craft Saxo bank fingerless Gloves and socks and both are very well made items.
    Looking at the Wiggle prices I can't justify buying all the nice looking kit........but then you risk import tax on goods from China/Taiwan etc.
