Oh thanks been looking for a cheap pertex jacket I think it looks good.

😆

While buyers of surface stuff are looking - they've got the liquistrech shorts on at decent discount - available in 'XL' - the pair I own are marked 36". Not sure if that translates as the same size and Surface's website has closed so no sizing info available.

I remember having a bit of to and fro and returning shorts in the past as there were discrepancies between how the garment is labelled and the labelling on the packets with some of their stuff (and discrepancies in the labelling between their shorts and trousers.

Anyone know if an XL is 36?

EDIT - answered my own question - seemingly yes according to the guide I couldn't see on the Evans site. Will order and expect a surprise when I open the packet 🙂

Jesus. These with those cheap shorts from last week.

The pertex looks OK if abit jimmy saville in purple but the other tops look Ali G. Grim.

Got me self an orange and brown hoodie, yeeeeaaaahh boooooouuuyyyy!

That pertex jacket is priced about right. It's an odd piece of kit. There is no elastic in the wrists, the neck is large yet not adjustable and the hand pockets have no zips and are mesh inside. Makes it not very good at anything. Bottom of the pack in case of a summer shower maybe.

Edit: actually, don't get one.

Its buying bargain for bargains sake which leads to clutter IMO.

Get a blue and red Windjammer and pretend you're Akrigg....

I've owned one of each since last time they were massively discounted.. They're pretty good for the price..

You have to be a bit of a dude to pull the look off, pretty much the opposite of hora

Cheers OP yellow commuter jacket ordered and bumped up to free postage with a Rapha t-shirt 🙂

Not everyone can afford premium brand apparel..

Thought these were reasonable budget buys or backups for the cool mountain biking hipsters that everyone here is..

I have had the purple surface jkt for a couple of yrs. It's a nice fit, looks good in the flesh and it packs down really small in the camelbak. Very useful piece of kit. Plus it's not bloody black like 90% of uk mtb riders seem to knock about in.

if you ever frequent hotukdeals you'll see Hora has a point, so many deals have posts along the lines of "wow that's cheap, Ive bought two. What is it and what does it do?".

I've been guilty of snapping up unmissable bargains and then realising I dont need it- I currently have 2 pairs of Easton bars as "spares" (cos, hey I'm like always snapping bars 🙄 )

parker looks ok and £80 off! http://www.evanscycles.com/products/surface/parka-jacket-ec075172

Cheers for that, I rip jackets so often I like them this cheap and functional, no frills.....and purple matches two of my bikes in fat ba3tard size 😆

Hora!!! No....just No

Yes please
It matches my helmet!

I have a pair of the shorts in XL and am 36ish waist but they are way too big. I got them from sport pursuit so could only send them back with difficulty so I use a belt. I keep nagging her indoors to take them in because they are excellent shorts.

What does it say inside the shorts though - in the past they were putting 36" trousers in an XL bag but the shorts packed as XL were labelled as 38" inside the garment

Cock it. They still are.

Back they go

You just send them back, like any other online retailer.

Did anyone get a purple Pertex jacket?

Wore my (red & blue) windjammer on this mornings commute, it was very subzero. Seems OK for the money & decent quality without being standard roadie cycling attire, I do like the big elastic sleeves- very good for keeping drafts out and the hood went under my helmet nicely and it doesn't flap about. Colours nice and bright for safety without looking health & safety.

I have some lino at work and will be throwing down later.

Damn something else ordered that i dont need!!!

Yep I got the purple one delivered this morning.......and it will match two of my bikes and nothing else of my riding gear, bit at least it's made of basic pertex so may last longer than the leightweight pertex stuff I've shredded of recent 😆
And yes, it is as bright as the Evans picture 😆

we need pictures!

Give up, it's purple as a purple thing on a purple day! Fits fine though, Lycra bound cuffs, one zip on the front and small napoleons zip pocket. Ideal and very Enduro looking 😆

That's not purple, it's lilac 🙂

IM a bloke, it's purple, lilacs purple to me and so is every colour that's not red or blue 😆

it's not hideous...the jacket I'm talking about here 😀

I got the purple too. It's folded up and stuffed in the camelbak for emergency use only. 🙂

[i]it's not hideous[/i]

one too many words in that sentence

This !
It's a very good jacket in a not very decent colour,it looks pink to me !

😆
Only realised last night when chatting about my old montane Velo light wind proof that this jacket replaces when riding last night that it had gone crispy washed out and shredded as it was a good ten years old!

Ridden a few miles in my lime PErtex jacket now, and its perfect for cold days as another layer, only thing I noticed where there is no lining in the arms it sort of stuck to my arms if they got too sweaty...

quite an enduro colour but seems to work as a windproof

I worship every Sunday at the Church of the Wheel!

Just a little update used my Pertex jacket in torrential rain on Friday and its surprising waterproof, water was just running off it, there must be a great coating on it as its like teflon!

My windjammer had its first pouring rain yesterday and I stayed dry. Hopefully not just cuz its a new jacket.
