Savage jacket for that price. I've one going one 5 years now that has been made a commuter jacket as its too big.

Is their sizing normal, or more like Castelli (go a size up)?

Their sizing chart suggests a medium for me, though I take large in Castellil Gabba etc. Anyone got both and can advise?

The Galibier sizing is a lot bigger than Castelli, I take an XXL in Castelli, and an XL in Galibier

As per the size charts has seen me right with Galibier. They normally call out if it's a race fit.

Odd bargain to post for me.

This gillet on adverts for €30 in xl, bought one recently and its a savage piece of kit. The Galibier Roubuaix top as well, both for €60 is a decent purchase.

I have large in both the gabba and the mistral. I find the mistral is shorter and wider than the gabba so it depends on your body shape. They are very good on returns and changing sizes.

I wish I'd seen that before ordering!

Edit: though they've now responded to my website query of yesterday saying that medium is the right size for me so I'm hoping it works out.

Great deal. Bought one a week ago from bike24 who came in at 129. This was the cheapest then after a fair bit of looking around. Only used it twice but if you're just looking for basically gps, ant+ functionality (power, cadence, HR) and the ability to upload to garmin connect/strava over bluetooth its the way to go.

Or free to parcel motel, which would then charge €4 for delivery.

I had 3 pairs in basket, and nearly completed, but I don't know are they any good, does anyone use these?

Got my Mistral yesterday.. Thanks OP. Great jacket for the price.. on a par with Castelli equivalents for weight etc. Does not have the same level of finishing but is less than a 3rd of the price. Could defo try it out today... it's baltic out!

Sizing wise.. a size down from Castelli is probably best advice.

Since when is 2200 a bargain for a bike?

Since it was reduced from 4k. (ok, you would probably find it for about 3500, but still....)

I race one of these and it is a seriously impressive machine.

I got thesr 4 or 5 years ago. Double the price back then but i still refer to them when i pick up injuries. Well worth having

magicbastarder

if anyone is around finglas, humphries have these lads in stock for €80 each but derek said he's got a lot of interest in them (link below is not the one for humphries!)
they're a snug fit - i'm usually an M but bought an L after trying one on.

triban 100 long sleeve jersey

decent review on road cc..i've been wearing one under a gilet this winter (milder days tbf) it sizes similar to altura rather than castelli, relaxed fit is the term i think..£12.99 with free click and collect at asda..i paid £17.99 and thought it was daft money
