Are these any good? SportsDirect are selling them cheap and I need a pair of padded shorts.

    For the £7 or so I paid I thought they were good value even if it's only to trash them through winter, padding is ok, washed mine & still fine, also bought karimoor longs, under no illusion they're not great quality but again for £7 can't complain, may need something warmer as it gets colder though

    sorry to high-jack the thread a bit but I've got a pair of Muddy Fox longs that I'd sell for £10 inc P&P (cost £20 - although now down to £11 plus P&P). I just prefer bibs - these were a present that I've never worn. :)

    http://www.sportsdirect.com/muddyfox-padded-cycling-tights-mens-635038?colcode=63503803 the black/green ones, size L which is similar fit to my XL Castelli and Medium Altura longs.

    Anyone tried the Muddyfox shoes? Was in Sportsdirect the other day, not bad looking and only £26! Not in any need of new road shoes, but n+1 and all that...

    Muddy Fox and Karrimor are not really brands anymore. The names are owned by Sports Direct who put them on generally budget gear and then claim you are getting a 'branded' product at a great deal. The stuff is probably OK for the price you pay but don't be deceived into thinking you are getting a £20 product for a tenner, you'll generally be getting something that might just about be worth what the actual price is.

    yeah, wasn't convinced by the rrrp of £100 for the shoes, but didn't look too bad for £26.
