    the garter?

    Surely that's not what they're called? :eek:

    I did notice they were a tad tight over the shoulders also but as mentioned above a few stitches were lost in the battle :D

    They're a very good €6 short, but they were horrifically over-priced at €70.

    Pretty much what I was getting at albeit the long way round :p

    i dunno, main difference is they're meant to hold things down and garters are meant to hold things up?

    On the off chance anyone in Waterford ordered an XL red Boardman rain jacket and received an M - I have an XL and will swap it. Says M on the receipt but when I took it out of the bag it was XL & can't find it on the site anymore.

    I picked up an ALTURA Progel bibshort and it's a bit too small for me - I need XL.

    Long shot but, if anyone have an XL but would rather have an L... lets swap!

    If you can't get a size L, I'll take the XL off your hands, I picked mine up yesterday and am quite pleased with them. XL perfect for me.

    They looked a bit short in the leg, but then I'm finding I'm between sizes in most brands tbh

    That's mad. Mine are quite long in the leg.

    Actually tried them on a recovery turbo, and the length was fine. Quite impressed to be honest - never worth the rrp, but decent.

    Just shticking the head in here to say thanks for the heads up on this, collected a pair of casual shorts, 48 euros down to 6, and a jacket, 70 euros down to 11.

    got them via click and collect on saturday, having ordered the week previously. The lads behind the counter (mahon, cork) were even taken aback at how good of a deal it was!

    Chatting with one of the lads in Liffey Valley, apparently they weren't told of the sale and only found out when loads of web orders started flooding in.

    Meh, it seems like pot-luck as to how things turn out for you.
    I "ordered" click-n-collect a pair of Boardman MTB shorts @ €6, happy days - I got the confirmatory SMS on Sunday then nothing.........silence.
    When I called in to the local store, they had the shorts in stock alright, but not in my size, and all were scanning at just a 20% discount, so €35-ish compared to the €6 online. I dunno......:confused::confused:

    Dont give up...!

    So I never did get a message to say my C'n'C order was ready and I'd forgotten about it, but passing the branch today I popped in and lo and behold, my order was reserved and waiting for me! A pleasant surprise nearly two weeks later. Boardman shorts for €6......I didnt have the heart to try for the additional 10%. ;)

    I ordered the Boardman Jersey with removable sleeves for €6 on 30th Oct. I received order confirmation via e-mail & text, but nothing else after. I popped in to Halfords Liffey Valley on Sunday & the Sales Assistant insisted I should have picked it up before 6th Nov. I then read out the e-mail to him stating that I should await confirmation that it is available for collection, but he was having none of it & said I was too late. BUT- he then went over to the racks & found one there, scanned it & it came up as €11 (reduced from €66)- so just bought it, still a bargain. Forgot to ask for the Axa discount though....
