Just seen they are selling Planet X own jerseys on their site for £15 (short sleeve) and £20 (Long Sleeve).

Anyone got one? They look decent quality with good grippers and a zip pocket.

Interested to hear from any owners before I purchase....... :D

    Sam, they are very good quality and well worth that kind of money.

    I've got four of um, 2 SS 2LS all of which are great.

    Buy one, you'll be pleased you did.

    Indeed they are very nice, just be careful if you recommend them to people that you go riding with, sometimes I turn up for a ride with a mate and we're both wearing the same jersey which makes me feel a bit silly! As if we're Team Planet X out on one of their legendary "go slow" training rides!

    I wouldn't recommend them, the arms and neck are very big. Also they tell you to order a size up, i didn't believe them soordered my usual small but it still feels like what it is - a cheap jersey.

    That said i might just be being a nob and comparing it to my nice jersey however 50 quid original rrp is a joke IMO.

    You pays your money, you makes your choice :)

    I have a long sleeve one and I think it's excellent. I ordered normal, not up a size and it's a very good fit on me. The pockets and zips are excellent and it feels like a quality piece of kit to me.

    I have the red one and it's a very bright shade,so it's good for visibility without needing yucky yellow fluoro.

    I bought a couple of the SS last summer at £5 and they are fab.

    Have taken the plunge for 2 long sleeved ones as we are getting towards that time of year.

    Turned up next day and they are really good quality, especially for the money.

    grip at the bottom, reflective strips and a zip pocket. all good and fit is 'racing' but not snug.

    Yep, I have a couple SS. They're pretty good considering their price. Recommended.

    They are outstanding value at the discount price - I bought 2 of the LS ones and 2 of the SS.

    The LS ones are particularly well made.

    Got mine a couple of days ago. The quality is excellent but I find the fit a bit odd. Width wise it's spot on (I ordered an XXL even though I'd normally be an L or an XL) but it feels quite short in terms of body length. It certainly rides up higher than my other jerseys. I'll stick with it but I doubt I'd order another one as I wouldn't want the looseness of an XXXL to get the length perfect.
