Interested to see what everyone's favourite cycling clothing brands are? Both leisure and riding. I'm a big Alpinestars fan, love the lairy designs.

    Assos - pricey, but superb kit

    Lots of 'A' brands it seems!

    Off the bike I like Howies and Hollister stuff, as I'm built like a teenager :-(

    Disregard brands, acquire materials.

    (I like merino wool.)

    I have a Merino baselayer which is my least favourite compared to 4 synthetic ones. Conversely I love all the Merino socks I have (particularly Woolie Boolies).

    Endura is favourite. Dead cheap (relatively speaking) and top quality too.

    I quite like Royal stuff on the MTB
    And Sombrio
    and on-one / Planet-x for base-layers
    and dare-2-b for misc stuff which I may or may not wear on the bike.

    And on the roady, I'm a big fan of Santini, however I've not tried Rapha/Assos as I'm not made of money :lol::wink:

    Love my Royal shorts, slightly better design than my endura shorts, but they're a very good second. Like Njee, I prefer synthetic breathable baselayers comapared with merrino - I hate the way they collect sweat on the back. Then Decathalon for softshells.
    Horses for courses, but I haven't gotten on with Altura in the past (shorts and jacket).
    Army surplus waterproof socks ftw.

    Whatever makes most sense
    Aldi/One one/Howies (£38 at TK Max), D2B (£25 at TK Max), Altura (MBUK subs gift), Karrimor (FRom days of decent stuff - cold test kit from work).......

    All my kit is Dare2B, nice fit, wicking cotton t shirts and cheap prices make it a winner in my book

    Oh and sockguy socks

    For riding gear, Fox (helmets, jerseys, gloves), Oakley (jerseys, shorts), Endura (shorts), Sombrio (shorts), Nike (base layers), Royal (gloves), Save our Soles (socks) and either Vans or 5:10s on my feet. For everything else (shells, gilets, etc.) I go for more 'general' outdoorsy stuff like Berghaus.

    I really like Specialized BG range, Royal and 5:10 for shoes
    Bikes are OK, I guess... :-)

    I've just started using Fox kit and its all great, have a 661 recon which is essentially the same as the fox. I got a Nema 3/4 sleeve jersey from CRC which is also great. Evoc hydration pack is better than my old Dakine, it's abit bigger and still feels really light, much better laid out too. I use 5:10's for flats and some Shimano MP66's for clips, again both great, the shimanos are load better for winter or any kind of wet riding though!

    Royal- mostly dh stuff, it's well priced
    Altura and Fox- everyday stuff, it's ace and durable. Almost all my gloves are Fox.
    LIDL! Most of my commuting stuff is lidl.

    TBH I'll buy anything that looks decent but these guys have always delivered. Especially love my Altura Attack waterproof shorts and my Fox Poacher jerseys.

    Actually becoming a big Dakine fan

    Nice cut, and quality bit pricy but not over the top :)

    Endura shorts, Royal jerseys, 661 gloves. Tried other stuff but I'm built a pipe cleaner and the sizing and cut tend to be all wrong for me.
