MAAP (Awesome cycling wear) has a 24hour sale on now with up to 40% of regular prices. There is a lot of run-out kit (so some common sizes are not available). Even on sale, it is not cheap kit, but well made and great quality... so now is the time so see if there is a bargain.

Thanks...been looking for blue Bibs! What is their sizing like?

I am 191cm and 88kg and normally am an XL but have noticed some kits are better in L...

Can't say - though my experience for Australian and European brands is that in most cases, follow their sizing chart - if it one brand may throw you up or down from your normal size.

These are surprisingly decent. Might grab a few for spares - always seem to loose my sunnies all over the place.

$5 is about right for the "photochromatic" Covert Sunglasses - I have a pair but they start off grey & don't get much darker

And that's ladies and gentlemen why I have a pair of Oakley photochromics.

Lol didn't realise the second pair were photochromatic. Can't be too good at that lol. I have a pair of rudy's photochromatic and they are decent but I find too slow to respond. Are oakleys much better (faster?)?

$5 is cheaper than the Bunnings safety glasses I currently ride in I'm going to check them out on the weekend and see how they fit. My long luscious eyelashes don't allow me to wear a lot of close fitting glasses.

I loaded up on the Rudy's via Rotorburn glitch pricing a while ago - decent lens bt I wouldn't be paying anywhere near full price for them. My Oakley (full reflective non photochromatic) ones are much nicer than the Rudys. But somehow I find myself still going back to the stupid anaconda lens every now and then when I prefer a yellow lens.

Sizing is fairly normal, but the leg grippers are far too tight. The shorts don’t have the best padding either. Stylish for the short coffee shop ride, but not good for lots of huge kms.

Two pairs of MAAP shorts here and one jersey. I wear size S in MAAP, 175cm tall, 59kg.

In short, not worth the price. You can get better.

Cuore with their “gold” level kit is better for the same price. Rapha as well.

^^^will soon find out!

Will post my thoughts after a couple of tries. Recently picked up some Morvelo kit and that is super comfy. 1st ride was a very hilly 3 hour and they were great.

I bought 2 pairs, took them into the sun, with one pair covered, there is a noticeable difference in darkness after a few minutes.
Better than my Tifosi imho, and for 5 bucks a bargain in my books

Bought 4 x pair of the FLUID sunnies, combined postage, can always give them away.
Thanks mububban for the tip.

A mention of safety glasses above, used a pair of $15 bi focal safety glasses for several months, found the small reading lenses at the bottom perfect for quick check of the Garmin and handy if using the phone etc or other important stuff such as ordering food (from menu) with coffee.

A problem surfaced though in that something I thought was Vertigo started to happen, quite disconcerting and never experienced before !

Bought some TIFOSI 3 lense interchangeables 3 months ago, no more vertigo at all.

Grabbed a pair of these as spares (or until I can find the Oakleys) and for $5 they're fine. Can't imagine they would've sold many (any) at the full rrp of $79,95 or whatever but for $5, brilliant.

15% off at pushys with code JUNE15

No idea of the normal price of it, but found the Cuore weather proof jacket at Jet Cycles for $150. Seems a very good thing, it's quite form fitting so it doesn't flap around (and rain can't get inside it as easily), has extra length in the sleeves so that it covers over your wrists and the collar really wraps around your neck so that water can't get inside the jacket that way. It also cuts out the cold quite well.

Can't track that down g-boaf, would you have the online reference pls.
