Just been out this morning wearing lidl cycling trousers (was 2C when I left, brrrr) for 25 mile, and did start to feel sore. So the muddyfox shorts have better padding. Never tried a premium brand to compare, but I'm happy with them.

I bought some Muddy Fox gear the jerseys are ok for summer, but which if any jerseys are good in winter? The tights/leggings are fine and the shorts are good also, apart from being a bit 1970's style, meaning that they're a bit short in the leg and ride up as you cycle showing maybe too much thigh!

Back from town, they didn't have any in stock and as it isn't one of their major retail stores they are just given a selection of stock every Tuesday and so they have no idea if they will get any in.
I did however walk a couple of miles to one of the LBS I hadn't tried, they seemed friendly and offered some help, unlike the other ones on the island, and I picked up a pair of Specialized ones for £40. They seem ok at the moment, although I've only gone for a five mile ride so far.

I wore a muddyfox cycling top for a few months until I got a better one and there's nothing wrong with it. I'm still wearing the padded shorts after a few months with no complaints, the padding could be better but for rides up to 3 housr - nothing wrong with them.

I'm using muddy fox tights, shirt and a jacket, with some other SD cheap base layers and waterproof trousers. With the hope that as Autumn progresses it'll be fine. I'm commuting around 7.5 miles each way, so haven't had any issues with the padding (I was previously using standard shorts with none anyway).
I've no real complaints about any of the gear, I'm a wide cyclist so i was pleased to find some gear that actually fit me.
as winter sets in I may need to buy some better gear but I'm looking to try to last through winter with this basic kit, probably need some base trousers though as I'm sure the tights won't be enough when it gets colder.
Adding waterproofs on top and bottom and a running cap under the helmet just turned me into a sweaty water bomb on Monday evening though so I know I should be fine for a while yet!
I suppose I'm just saying, you get average kit for a cheap price but don't expect it to be as good as a premium brand. My impression overall is that it's not built to last.

I find their clothing too small and shoddily made.

If you don't mind red or blue, then £10 will get you dhb from wiggle http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-active-padded-cycling-bib-shorts/
& I would imagine there'll be a few places with plenty of bib shorts in the sale soon, once it gets a few degrees colder

Use the MF tights in winter - yes the pads are cheap but for a 15 mile each way commute they are fine and warm and cheap

I have to agree here. My MTB is one of the very last home-designed/specced 'proper' MuddyFox bikes from the end of the '90's when they still had design teams, marketing and engineers in the uk. They still had a (very successful) British mtb race team too. Then they sold their brand-name to the far-east and the legend died I suppose.
My 'Rock 'N Roll' is still going strong and was a very credible bike in its day...now people just point and laugh.
Shame really?w

My Muddy Fox longs are going into their 3rd winter. Not bad for £7.99. My dayglo yellow long sleeved top is still OK too. Bought at the same time as the longs. They are not fantastic quality but they do the job. The pad on the longs are not brilliant but then my backside is used to being in the saddle for a while and a half now.
