Just wondering if you know any good places online to buy some trousers from?

cheap prices of course, I am not flush but dont want to buy shit as my legs are kinda important to me, they help me walk.

thanks in advance.

Personally I prefer to buy my bike clothing in person.

I'm not a "standard" size, so I think it's better to be able to try stuff on first. I can't be bothered with all the hassle of returning it if it's not right!

Besides which, shopping is fun Thumbs Up

and shopping for bike stuff is even more fun. Very Happy

Zip - try clothes on in shops, you want it, you go online and you buy it. You save ~£20

Thus allowing you to fritter away your savings on beer/more clothes/bike bits/power tools/girly shoes/strippers.

Whatever takes your fancy... Thumbs Up

I think the standard answer is that the best way to do it is to go to the shop. You can't try things on or get immediate (reliable) advice if you're shopping online. Cheap just depends on how cheap. HG do do Cordura trousers into which armour can be fitted for £50 I think.

Heine Gericke staff have been the best from any bike shop I've been into as well. Big up the HG Sheffield. Thumbs Up

Of course, there's always Ebay! Smile

Try them first though obviously, fit is VERY important, ill fitting gear will not do you much good at all Sad

ok thanks for the responce,

I am going into darlington today to go and try some trousers on then my idea was to find out which ones they were and get the best deal online.

so anyone know any online clothing stores?

try going to j+s accessories website and see if there's a shop near you. it really is better to try them on first.

but for online clothes try,
MandP, or busters, or hein gericke, thebigbikebook. Very Happy

Surprised no-one mentioned eBay. I got 2 piece leathers off it, trousers not even broken in, for £20

(admittedly trousers are a bit tight)
