Chris_ Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Anyone used Vye Cycling clothing before? I see its local, and pretty well priced. Wondering if its any good. Boontjie, DieselnDust and tjopper88 3
Jewbacca Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Really good value, the company is super efficient, they are comfortable, wear well and have quite a few different 'fits' and cuts. Bjorne Vye tests all the clothes himself and is a very humble, generous, fantastic fellow. You won't go wrong with their kit or their company ethos Chris_, DieselnDust, babse and 1 other 4
babse Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 best bang for buck kit on the market IMO and they cater for any and every type of fit you require. tjopper88 and Chris_ 2
DieselnDust Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) What babse and Jewie said. I've used them several times including kit for those popular stage races. The bibs are super comfortable and the lycra front tops are suitable for out Autumn through Spring climate. They have various options in cut and styles and fabric per panel. Basically they will build you a custom top from the collar down to the waist elastic.The kit is made in house at their factory in Kensington (Cape Town), not in China. If any repairs or alterations are needed they can facilitate, your kit doesn't have to go all the way back to China.Bjorn and his wife are regulars at the sharp end of the mtb marathon field and as stated test the kit themselves and with a small group of locals. Their designer max is also a well known local racer. Basically,...their know their ****. I haven't killed one of their bibs yet despite lots of IDT abuse and stage race abuse. Very impressed with the comfort, reliability and durability of the product. Edited June 25, 2020 by DieselnDust DJR, babse and Chris_ 3
Chris_ Posted June 25, 2020 Author Posted June 25, 2020 ....I've sued them several times .... Hahaha Underachiever, Jewbacca and DieselnDust 3
Chris_ Posted July 2, 2020 Author Posted July 2, 2020 Follow up to this - I ordered the road cycling top, its a beautiful piece of kit! At first I thought it runs a little small size-wise but because its made of like 100 different types of material it moulds and fits very nicely. I had a layer on underneath so can't speak more to comfort, but it seems a very good buy. DieselnDust 1

Mister B Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 Anyone used Vye Cycling clothing before? I see its local, and pretty well priced. Wondering if its any good. Used VYE, I ordered a trail shirt with long sleeves, they only had short sleeves in stock , they replied it would need approx 5 day lead time , item was delivered in less time.I am very pleased with the quality and their excellent service.I highly recommend them.

MBMtbGirl Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 Within the last six weeks or so, we had some custom Vye kit made, I've worn it about 5 times since we got it and can confirm, for me - It's awesome. The bibs are very comfortable and the long sleeve winters' top is warm enough not to have to layer and feel like an Oros man. I can recommend. Pricing was also very good. DieselnDust 1
