Adidad Mens Bib Shorts (€25 M&M Direct)

LightningBolt

M&M Direct are having a sale at the moment and have these on sale for €24.99. Apparently there's a free delivery code TEE3 for orders under €50 but it seems that you have to have had placed an order with them before. Works for some people, doesn't for others.

TheBlaaMan

Just as I was about to buy a pair elsewhere - thanks !

Wiggle reviews suggest theya re a good buy and sizing is 'true'

Get some !

Thanks! Was just about to replace my commuter shorts, which are now wearing dangerously thin :eek:
2 pairs ordered. Super value!

Lemag

Thanks LightningBolt. The TEE3 code didn't work for me but I was prompted to use FDNC which saved me 50 cents. Makes up a little bit for my earlier disappointment.

Funnily enough i was going to buy a pair of these not so long ago. Now ill get two and still save money! maybe ill get 3

Thanks

thanks for posting

Hail 2 Da Thief

Looks a real bargain! Thanks for the heads up!

triggermortis

Thanks for that. The FDNC code worked for me - the TEE3 one didn't.

Deedsie

I'm sorry but I'm new to this, are these padded shorts? Good buy for a beginner?

Dermot Illogical

Thanks for that. Solved a problem for me

Plastik

Wow. I love this forum. There I was about to pull the trigger on two of these because they're cheap when I have enough shorts and absolutely no need for them. Slapped myself upside the head.

Put. The credit card. Away.

We're going to need a new thread entitled "Sky bib shorts sightings" at this rate.

Are these padded shorts?

TheTubes

Damn it, they accept PayPal.
I didn't even need them, talk about peer pressure.

Rules say we all need to buy the full kit now, no?

Full kit (including socks) and the Pinarello Dogma to ride on. That starts to make them an expensive pair of shorts.

Bigron78

anybody have these already? How does the sizing go? Adidas running gear seems to run a little large for me. Bib-shorts same?

These also look like the 2010 version. 2011 shorts have IG Markets on the back?

The fit was right on size, (medium bib). The jersey (small) was also right on size. High quality chamois. Rode it 70 miles the first time I put it on and felt great!. You feel like a real Team Sky Pro wearing the entire kit. Got nothing but compliments on my ride. High quality item.

I hope this is true because all my other bibs are a Large... I got three mediums

Bambaata

Cheers OP, got 2. Never have enough shorts!

picked up a pair myself god their going be the new rage now, picked up a nice t-shirt and hoodie too, and nice little 2% off with the code.

ednwireland

cheap pad ( fine for 25 quid) but if you had paid rrp for those .....

massively quick shipping though

dastardly00

Ordered mine Thursday evening at 6pm, they just arrived this morning.
That's some quality service!!
I ordered a Large and it's the correct size for me (I'm 34" waist and 6ft 2" tall).

That's what I like to hear! I just got my pair in L, and I'd be 6'3", though I think with a slightly short torso, also about a 34" waist, so based on a friend's comments about his own set that he had before, I was a little apprehensive that they might be too small. Haven't been able to try them on yet as I got them delivered to work, but this makes me more optimistic.

Agreed on both counts, I was disappointed by the initial appearance of the chamois and hoped to see something that would protect Flecha on a 6hr Paris-Roubaix..............I guess the first long spin will tell a lot.

Each to their own fit, but at 6'2", 85kg and 34/35" waist, I'm glad I went for the XL, fit is excellent.

forfcksake

Thanks OP ordered!

reilig

Mine came today too - ordered last friday. Nice and comfortable fit too.

Dermot Illogical

Mine arrived as well. Good fit, and the padding is perfect for me. The lycra itself is a little bit on the thin side.

skerry

Took a chance on the Mediums today, no large left. 5'11" and of slender build so here's hoping they'll be OK. If not they will be flogged at first opportunity. Worth a punt at €25

I've chanced going with the medium too. Adidas gear is generally on the larger side so fingers crossed. I'm about 5' 10".
