    Not after anything, just giving credit where it's due.

    Lots of companies are good. Some are very good.

    Prendas are the greatest.

    Excellent IMHO. Never had a problem or had to send stuff back because it was faulty.

    Prendas are ace. Always quick delivery IME and some great bargains on their own branded stuff and some of the Santini stuff.
    More problems but still living....

    both the santini stuff and the extendoeo (sp?) stuff they sell is quality, in fact I'd bet their quality control is really strong because I've never had complaints and never seen any threads on here or other places with unhappy customers

    that reminds me, must get some more of those summer gloves...

    Great, thanks. How does their sizing work? For example, if I am an XL in Assos & Shutt VR, in Santini I'd be what?

    Sounds like we are of a similar size!
    I take XL in Assos and find XL in the Santini bibs to be an excellent fit. If you have any worries, drop Prendas an email.

    A1 service every time, next day delivery on every order I have made.

    The Santini gear I have bought so far has been top notch, would anyone like to pass comment on Santini bibs Vs. the likes of Assos T FI Uno S5?!

    RE:Quality / Sizing of Santini Etxeondo Bib shorts.

    If anybody wants sizing advice, we are happy to accept emails on info@prendas.co.uk. If you give us accurate height, weight, chest and waist we can normally be reasonably accurate which our testimonials state.

    The quality of both Santini and Etxeondo are impressive. Santini make amazing bib shorts to a specific price point. The SLICE is alot of bib short for the money, and they are my own personal Santini favourite. I always use them off-road and on the Turbo/rollers as the TwistGel insert stands up to the vibration well.

    Etxeondo bib shorts (2011 models coming to us in 1-2 weeks time) are also excellent. More exensive than Santini, but still often cheaper than the "so called" premium brands.

    It's worth also pointing out that BOTH brands make their bib shorts in-house, and do not sub the production out to cheaper (often Far East, Eastern Europe) outfits unlike some others I could mention.

    :D

    The choice of cycling jersey's is awesome and so different compared to the usual stuff found in every generic shop/ website.

    I think I spent far too much on bike stuff last year, but I think the best I bought was the cheapest - my Prendas socks.

    Also got some of the oversocks which would also be a great purchase if it didn't rain everytime I went out on the bike wearing them! :lol:
