My 7mesh bibs are now packing 😀 Fnrr fnrr.
Just got my order delivery confirmation, all items included. 😎
Same as above
Hmmm still picking here
Everything has been dispatched.
DT Swiss 240s rear hub for £65 shipped! Didn't think that was gonna happen.
My 7mesh bibs are now packing 😀 Fnrr fnrr.
Dispatched! I'm now a mix of being happy they're on the way and gutted that I didn't spend time looking for other bargains that I don't need (I did need the bibs though, honest).
from the timeline of this thread, I placed my order before anyone else and mine is still stuck in picking. I'll be mildy irritated if it doesn't get fulfilled.
Yep, all dispatched for me too. Top work Sigma...
Mine is apparently on its way, however I think I ordered some considerable time before I posted. And only one item of a fairly substantial order was on a silly discount, in case that made a difference.
My £18 (as to opposed £18 off) Brooks runners are sprinting their way to me as we speak.
My order arrived today. Their pricing seems a bit allover the place but I got a Bluegrass Legit Carbon full face helmet for £134 which I thought was great.
Lovely helmet too.
My order arrived yesterday...but checking the site, the sale price is still showing so I suspect it wasn't an error.

What did you order?
If anyone has buyers remorse over a DT 240 front hub DM me.
Dispatched note received for mine.. time to buy some rims.
now got a tracking number for my 7mesh shorts/bibs! winner! (pleaseee fit now)
Oooo yay dispatched apparently!

Same here for 7mesh bibs and shorts 🙌
My 7Mesh Foundation bibs arrived today
My order has shipped today.
Mines due to be delivered tomorrow.... according to the Royal Mail 🤞
mine turned up just now
foundation bib shorts and glidepath shorts
bibs, seem well made, very light weight, but small (went off sizing chart) and they seem a little too cramped around the chamois pad, like it sits too far forward, not sure yet, leg length fine, straps stretch so fine, but not sure on the pad fitment
shorts are nicely constructed, very very thin material, almost a bit shell like but they fit me perfectly at least in small
they are a bargain in terms of pricing, dont get me wrong, but im a bit mehhhh by them tbh, no way id pay full price for them
what size foundation bibs did people get and height/waist/leg length etc?
my gilet and gryphon are being delivered tomorrow. result.
what size foundation bibs did people get and height/waist/leg length etc?
I’m about a 32 waist, 11 stone, 5’8”. Already had one pair of small foundation bibs so knew I liked them.
If you don’t want yours send them my way, at the price they were going I’m happy to have spares hanging around.
Anybody want a 7Mesh Synergy jersey in Large, blue colour before I send it back to them? It was £84 rather than the £150 they are now asking. You cover the postage…
If anyone is after a small foundation bib and has a medium up for a swap or if medium doesn’t fit and I’ll pay postage and sell mine at what I paid?
Order arrived today, but the Sportful Metro pants I took a punt on are sadly too big so will be on their way back.
Keeping the Wolftooth bottle opener and (£6) Topeak Burrito tool roll though!
Shame they use DPD!
App says your parcel will be delivered 19/8/22 - IF YOU ARE NOT IN where shall we deliver to?
I set it to the local Post Office. Your parcel will now be delivered to the local post office!
Oh hang on, what happened to the "if I'm not in.." bit? It's ok I'll change it back. "there are no options for this delivery". kin useless
if anyone would like some size M black glidepath shorts drop me a message - cost me £29, but they are a bit short on the leg (not unusual as I'm' 6'5", but always live in hope...).
Only had the option of web collection so can't send back, and don't know when I will get back over to them to do refund in person.
Well thats the last time I do the decent thing!
Emailed them when it was clear there were pricing errors and said that I thought they might want to check their site and I understood they would probably have to cancel the order and that it was no bother if they had to. So they did and sent literally everybody elses!
I wouldn't mind so much but i'd just bought a 2k bike 5 days earlier from them as well.
Thanks Sigma!
lol @winston - gutting - if you potentially need some foundation bib shorts in small at what i paid then you can have them (once ive confirmed they dont fit me when im home)
Haha no, not in a small I'm afraid.
I'd bought a few nice trinkets from Silca and Wolftooth so nothing important and I'm sure the margins were such they would have lost money so i'm not really that miffed!

7mesh Glidepath MTB Short | Sigma Sports
@rootes1 I’ve messaged you. Mine aren’t here yet but I have a feeling the L I ordered will be too big so maybe we could even swap.
My stuff arrived today.
I'm 5'11" and weigh 80kg, already have some 7mesh kit so know that medium fits well.
Cypress gilet is a very classy piece of kit, almost too nice to wear on my normal filthy rides. Medium is fitted but fits fine.
Gryphon long sleeve jersey is sheer class and will be worn a lot over the coming months. It's polartec grid fleece. The wife has already tried to claim it.
Fmesh socks are nice, not bad at less than half price
Gore phantom fits like a dream in medium, fitted but not roadie tight. Sleeves are a bit of a faff but would be a perfect garment for all day (or even multi day) riding. Where it starts and finishes in the cold sun zero temperature but is a heady 10-15C in the daylight.
Gore C5 bib tights are marginally disappointing, had to get a large (as per Gore size guide) with these despite wearing medium in my older C3 bib tights (which fit great). They have scratchy seams on the straps, which would be annoying when worn next to the skin, doubt you'd notice them with a base layer. They're nicely fitted and feel quite thick. Definitely wouldn't have paid full price for them, especially when the cheaper C3 ones are so good.
On another purchase that also came today, I really like my new Dakine Hot Lap 1L (fanny pack 😜). I was torn on whether to get the bigger 2L but the 1L can still fit a pump, thin jacket, Multi-tool, tubeless repair kit and (at a push) a spare tube. So am glad I went with the 1L. Waist only has a couple of inches of waist band left so wouldn't fit anyone with a waist above 34". Fit and quality is great especially at just over £20.
My £22 Endura Singletrack II helmet arrived today. It’s slightly better quality than my last £20 helmet (Carnac enduro) 😂
Great PSA, thanks OP!
If anyone picked up some 7Mesh Foundation bib shorts in a large and don't want them please let me know.
DPD send me a message - your Sigma Sports parcel has been delivered to your chosen pickup point. Here's your pickup pass.
10 minutes later: Your Sigma Sports parcel will be delivered to your address between 9:57 and 10:57.
I wonder if there will be an arse or an elbow in the box.
Giro Radix helmet bought for £42, which is a good price.
The Radix isn't as burly as a Montaro but great for all day/CX/gravel type rides
gryphon is lovely. wish I ordered a couple more.
Doubtful anybody wants it before I send it back but 7mesh Synergy Long Sleeve Womens Jersey in small is going back, I thought it would be too small and I was right but they didn't have any mediums in so worth a punt on free returns. I'm not too devastated as although it's lovely I wasn't desperate and have tonnes of other stuff to spend on.
'kin useless bastards. Ordered a black 28H Deemax rim, receive a Yellow 32H! ARGH
I’ve got a pair of 7mesh Glidepath shorts black size L which are too big for me. Does anyone want them for the £29 I paid plus postage cost?
I’ll need to return them tomorrow morning if not so DM me if you’re interested.
There's a £5 Quidco bonus floating around this morning so used that to order a Patagonia running top I was after - they already had about 3% cashback available so will get me nearly £7 back on a top that was reduced to £46 from £100.
All the stuff I ordered arrived as hoped; absolutely spot on that.
Included in my haul is a seriously nice 7mesh Goretex jacket that's a right odd shape and fit (baggy at the back/tight across the chest); but at what it cost (£38/RRP: £280) it's too nice to send back.
Excellent PSA; thanks again for sharing.
Foundation liner shorts turned up today. Already wishing I'd bought more than one pair - first liner bibs I've seen that actually make sense in that they feel significantly airier than a standard lycra. Though as a result they do look like fetish wear (the picture below really doesn't do the fishnet justice and I reckon theres been a fair bit of photoshop shading on the front). suspect they need to be kept well away from any velcro in the washing machine
A Madison pair I bought as a distress purchase (left shorts at home) are like a full body suit and seem less breathable than lycra (and have a poor quality pad for good measure). The Pearl Izumi from the Freewheel PSA went back - again, heavy material made worse by all the cargo pockets.
Wasn’t after anything bike related or really to buy anything, but saw the brooks wide fitting running shoes are on special, but not in stock in my size.
Used the live chat to check if I could order and get the sale price, they sent me an order email within minutes for my size at the sale price, ordered and now wait for them to come into stock. These shoes are hardly ever on sale, certainly not at 40% off.
EDIT: I wish I could unsee the image in the previous post.

I’ll DM you a pic of me in my pair, you’ll instantly forget the image above. HTH
😆
You do NOT want me to zoom out of this one

Well, Sigma’s loss is 7mesh’s gain. Just been out in the RK1 bibs I got and I’ve never ridden such a comfy pair of shorts and seriously considering buying another couple of pairs at full price!
EDIT: I wish I could unsee the image in the previous post.
It could have been worse. You might have seen me wearing mine …
> shudder <
Well, my Patagucci bibs arrived fine, which is great. Unfortunately, despite the 170 quid RRP, comfort level is about the 29 quid I payed for them...
anyone interested in a pair of the 7 mesh glidepath shorts in SMALL?
ive worn them 1 time and they are a little too big for my 30" waist - sadly keep falling down - so i obviously cant send them back
they have been washed as per instructions - just after what i paid for them (£29) plus the postage
they are a lovely short and a bargain at 29 from 130! message me if so
some 'bargain BNWT' 7mesh gear turning up on ebay...
It could have been worse. You might have seen me wearing mine …
Aye. +1
These things are fabulous. They're what all my previous liner shorts should've been. But boy oh boy are they not for public consumption, not with me in certainly. I get great pleasure in finishing a ride at sea or river and jumping in in me bibs but I'll be thinking twice now.
Woah, I got a bottle of chain lube out of this anyway. Sigma Sports will be off my use list from now. Not their fault, but DPD are so useless. Website saying that they turned up to collect the package and were advised that there was nothing to collect. Well there's a huge bloody cardboard box by my front door that says otherwise you lying useless arse.
the bibs are fantastic - i too thought they were a little too small - in the wrong eye line 😉
but damn that is as comfy a pad as ive used, glad i stuck with sizing as the pad fits me perfectly - the bibs breathe incredibly well too, only downside i can see is they are that lightweight the mesh may be a little frail even just getting them off if your in a rush - but easily as good a chamois pad as ive used
but damn that is as comfy a pad as ive used
made me think of this when I first put them on...
