Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

[Blue Hills]

Keep it here It has peaked my interest and at £15 sounds like a bargain.

Yes it does rather - found this review which pretty much says it is a bargain at full price:
http://road.cc/content/review/169742-lusso-giro-rain-jacket

Free postage from Merlin as well.

Am mystified by sizing though - am 5ft8 (not big) but in this sort of jacket usually take a large as I use them for casual/touring not race-snake riding and might well have two layers underneath. The Lusso sizing chart appears to say I will need a large but that reviewer says that he is well over 6ft 2in and the medium is ample big enough for him. Have taken a gamble and ordered a large - Merlin appears to have a decent returns policy so I suppose I could have ordered a M and L but find returning stuff a fag.

was hoping simon might be able to come back with fit info but I guess he's busy and I needed to order.

many thanks for the thumbs up on it though simon - maybe I have eventually found my Vail replacement.

let me know how it works out for you if you remember. I'd quite like a yellow one I think........

will try to - should be here in 2 to 3 days - how tall are you?

 

[MrGrumpy]

Lusso seem to be normal sizing, have been for me so large normally, similar with Altura gear.

 

[Blue Hills]

ah thanks for that grumpy - large is probably right then - that 6ft2er must be some sort of wired snake. Trust northern Lusso to avoid the madness of Italian sizing.

I quite like Lusso kit, & re sizing, i have a small packable jacket from Lusso, I'm 6'5" 44" chest & XL is a good fit, room for a few layers underneath

tempted for this jacket too

big discount

but sorry, couldn't help it

I think that sale price is what you pay, not what they pay you.

The central yellow flash might be good cover if you wet yourself on a particularly daring descent

back to serious offers ..

@Blue Hills I owe you an apology. I've just been to check the size of my 'Lusso' jacket and it's actually a Giordana Sorry for misleading you, I was convinced it was a Lusso. I can't find it on the web, but I'm fairly certain it cost about £15 from Merlin or CRC, which contributed to my conviction. Sorry...

 

[Blue Hills]

ok well, no worries simon

Nice of you to get back.

Will report on the top when it arrives.

All Boardman light inner tubes are down to £1 in halfords, plenty of sizes in both road and MTB.
Perfect as spares.

Some pretty bad reviews on them - I was going to get some as spares before I read the reviews!

 

[Blue Hills]

Didn't check but must admit to a certain suspicion of any cycling stuff marketed as light/lite or whatever.

Every single time i try to buy anything on sale it is unavailable on checkout at halfords.
