W@nna-BE Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Hey hubbers, so i bought a set of these http://www.firstascent.co.za/web/product-details.php?prodid=1159&catid=246&level=3 not too happy with them, they did help in the cold but they have left some "burnt" brown marks on my white Sidi's looks like they burnt with the friction of the cover rubbing on my shoe weird hey !
Mojoman Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Not a big fan of First Ascent right now, bought one of those blue thermal layers about 3 weeks back and the stitching on the cuff has already pulled away so the sleeve looks lekker tatty now. And Sods Laws, I cant find the receipt for it.
walkerr Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Sure - if you're pedaling fast enough to burn your shoes I hope you're not cycling anywhere dry. You could start a fire!

And Sods Laws, I cant find the receipt for it.They will probably still replace it for you. Or fix it. Contact them via the website.I had stitching on my bibs that pulled loose, they replaced it. Worth a try.
PhilipV Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 As for the booties, I reckon invest in Sealskinz socks. They are waterproof and breathable.

Worth a try.I have mailed them and sent pic, if they replace it thats great. Not going to bother sending it in for stitching though as I pretty much need it now! Will just do a ham fingers stitch job on it and cut my losses.
walkerr Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 hahahahhahaah... you know what i mean though!! Yep - annoying as hell when expensive kit gets scuffed up.
Unknown MTBR Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 I also bought myself a pair but havnt tested them yet!! :( hope mine is fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!
