Evan Andreou Posted April 2, 2007 Share Really enjoyed the feature in the latest issue.Has anyone worn No Sweat bibs?They seem reasonably priced but I only know one person who's worn them, any comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdoardoBianchi Posted April 2, 2007 Share Nope, but I am shocked at the prices of the imported offerings - guess I've not been shopping in a while... I agree though, nice feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumpole Posted April 2, 2007 Share I thought the prices given were useless. Everything cost R600-R1200 or R1200+.. very vague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Andreou Posted April 2, 2007 Share I thought the prices given were useless. Everything cost R600-R1200 or R1200+.. very vague. To be fair they did have the actual price in the body of the review. Would have enjoyed a bit more coverage of locally made brands though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted April 3, 2007 Share Has any tried Pearl Izumi bib shorts and Santini? I need to get a new pair of shorts and was considering these brands, so any feedback would be welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted April 3, 2007 Share They do not give the Cape Storm Matrix a too hot review. I got my pair last week and used them the weekend and they are amazing. They are made from imported Italian lycra and have a Swiss made shammy. They are only assemled here and really good aswell. I will deffinately get me another pair soon.

Thug Posted April 3, 2007 Share They had 2 reviews of Cape Storm bibs. The more expensive (by R150) had a much better review than the cheaper ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted April 3, 2007 Share Wolfy, they shot down all the SA brands. They said some were good or an improvement on the previous version but did not say "they are as good as XYZ brand". These Cape Storms are way better then even my Nalinis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Andreou Posted April 3, 2007 Share Is it a coincidence that imported brands advertise more in the mag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted April 3, 2007 Share Is it a coincidence that imported brands advertise more in the mag? ...and their undershirt review is nothing compared to the one in "What Mountain Bike" from March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also got the new cape storm matrix and they are also great - nicest thing about them is that the bib in the front is not too high - makes for easier toilet breaks, and helps with not getting too hot.
