Cheers. Looks like I'll be getting a base layer, glasses, waterproof jacket and socks

What sizes were the jerseys?

In the store at Barry they had medium, large and extra large in a couple of colours. Sizes seem to be correct. Large was marked 42 to 44 which is my size and it fitted perfectly.

How tight should these body under armor garments be ? I am normally a large but the 'L' Gillet seemed awfy big ? So plumped for medium, the body armor is a neat fit is this normal? Dinnae get me wrong it keeps it all in

If you mean the base layers they should be tight/fitted to your body....

 

[MrGrumpy]

was just wondering how tight I can still breathe so that's a plus Dunno how technical they are in terms of wicking away sweat but if they are any good might by another!

 

[uclown2002]

compression base layer should be super tight fitting

Has anyone had a look at what LED chip is in the light?

If it's Cree or similar I may get one.

Went to the Fareham store at 8am this morning. I got socks, gloves, glasses, jersey, gilet, jacket and some base layer tops. Pleased with it all but the jacket is possibly a little short in the arm.

By the time I got there the shelves were emtpy. Luckily I went to the Havant store at work in the morning and got loads. FYI the havant store is still well stocked when I went in today to downsize my jerseys

I was tempted to upsize the waterproof jacket... I might try Gosport first as its closer.

No, I mean new kit = bad weather !

PS ... a natural law of the universe, a bit like gravity.

Just back from Lidl and I'm pleased with my purchases. I got a base layer, a cycling jacket and the glasses. The glasses came in different styles so I got the black half-frames with 3 different lenses. The website said the hood could be stored away in a pouch on the jacket but mine didn't come with this feature. The base layer is tight fitting but stretchy so the medium was fine with me. £26 well spent I think
