Placed a order with prendas nothing major just a few stocking fillers this time off the wife for crimbo. As always the order arrived quickly and with a free gift. Some times it's the little things that make you smile. :D

Cheers Prendas

    I agree.

    Their customer service is A1.

    A lad called Andy helped me with an order where I mis-sized my stuff & he could'nt have been more helpful.

    Great service and the kit quality is excellent.

    Also they look absolutely CLASS

    ok its not the biggest gift in the world, only a mobile phone holder with prendas lettering and fits my new htc phone . Just really like the ethos of Prendas and the quailty o their own brand kit is excellent. Ended up buying a cap some socks and a winter neck warmer which is superb for this time of the year.

    Seems to me Prendas is a 'proper' cyclists retailer. Rather than some that try and be all things to all men/women. Right that's it gonna treat myself to the the Exteondo 3-1 winter hat. Looks very cosy and it is Christmas after all!

    its a great item, ive always used a buff but the exteondo is much better as it has a ribbed section in a few places which allows you to wear it around your chin or above without it slipping. It looks rather cool as a hat too. well worth the money

    Use prendas for their excellent summer and winter base layers. Thinking of an Exteondo 'Abaraska' jacket, anyone got one to recommend?

    could someone please explain how its 3 in 1? i see that it can be a hat or neck guard but whats the third option?

    my chasing legends video arrived from prendas within a couple of days of ordering, no free pouch for my htc though :cry:

    Anything Etxeondo is class - own a few winter jackets and they are all the best you can buy

    Toyed with the idea of one of their jackets before buying my assos jacket , reviews were excellent . I didnt fancy the colourway that was available at the time so opted for then851 instead. I can vouch for the prendas socks as well which are brilliant in the winter. Has anybody tried the defeet gloves?

    No nothing about the Defeet gloves, but have just ordered the 3-1 winter hat. When the missus finds out do you mind pretending you are Santa please gwillis!

    Of course not, the old I've had this ages usually works for me. My other tip is buy cycle kit in similar colurs mrs gwillis never seems to notice a new addition to the cycle clothing box :wink:

    I got some of the DeFeet gloves from Prendas. They're great - very hardwearing and good down to about 7degC or so.

    Sounds like another purchase is on it's way. They look ideal for spring

    The Defeet gloves don't look anything special imo, like glorified woolen gloves you can get for kids, still I'm sure the proof is in the pudding so to speak.

    +1 - when I was taken in for questioning recently, I tried to pass my new yellow Airjack off as my old stained knackered yellow Gore Phantom which has been demoted to winter MTB use: she's not that daft though :lol:

    I managed to pass a assos air jack jacket and intermediate eve as the same but I had trouble explaining the pink Amateur team kit I picked up off eBay a while back.
