Picked up the bibs and the short sleeve top a couple of weekends ago. Used them on a 75 mile charity run and they were both excellent. Comfortable, breath well and fit is good if a little compact! They stretch alot but be careful with sizes. I'm a 32 waist and a 38 chest and the small bibs and medium top were nailed on although it didn't seem like they would be when I first started pulling them on. Pad is good quality aswell. Great value and look good if you like the stealth appearance.0

I got the jersey, I reviewed it on Wiggle.Smarter than the average bear.0

I've been using the long sleeve for a couple of months and I really like it. I'd say it's currently my favourite jersey. Understated, smart, comfortable fabric and the fit is very awesome (tight).
If i could change a few things I would make the rear pockets 25% deeper and improve the front zip quality. The zip's been great so far but it feels cheap and doesn't inspire confidence.
In howies base layers, tees, jumpers etc I always take size small but I had to return the small jersey for a medium (despite being recommended small, by Howies)
Ordering the short sleeve is on my to do listtick - tick - tick0 -
The zip is far too narrow and awkward and it's a very warm jersey {short sleeve} too warm for this humid weather, better suited to spring and autumn. It's very stretchy, tight fitting and feels nice to wear. The short sleeve with arm warmers would probably be warm enough in quite low temps.Smarter than the average bear.0

I got the bibs a few weeks back. Used them on my first 100 miler plus two 60 milers since and thought they were great.
They are my first bibs so i can't compare them...but I've no complaints.0 -
Just never got on with the bibs, didnt find them as comftorable as my Endua FS260's. Found the legs tight and the back too warm.Life isnt like a box of chocolates, its like a bag of pic n mix.0
