As per the title really. I'm a fan of their bib shorts in particular but pretty much all of the bike stuff has been out of stock / unavailable for quite a long time now and the running section is just two items (I'm sure there used to be more).

Not sure they do, frankly they've been off my radar for a while, they've been pushing more up market / 'fash' for years now and left me waaaay behind.

They were selling off the 'out of stock' stuff at the sample sale.  I tried on both the shorts and the top and didn't like them enough to buy even at very reduced price - fabrics were too heavy. Theres better kit about at a better price IMO>

Thanks all. I’ll probably have to start looking elsewhere I think.

Morvelo are doing 25% off at the moment if that's of any interest?

The bibsmay be heavy fabric but by golly they're good shorts.

Exactly my thoughts. I've got two pairs but one of them is gradually giving up.

Useful tip on the Morello sale, I'll check that out now.

Alpkit seem to have stepped into this niche a little in terms of Merino etc

Bib shorts won't be back in stock until August is what I was told.
