Slowlycatchymonkey Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I’m sure I started one of these way back but I can’t find it so here it is again. Bought something for your bike or bike related, whatever it is, new lid, gloves, topbox stick it here for others to marvel at or more likely tell you why they don’t like it or that theres a quality cheaper alternative you missed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 I’m gonna kick it off with my (in the post) purchase of a Pando Moto base layer leggings. It’s like Bowtex which I use all the time but apparently better. You can wear normal clothes and have some protection which is great in hot weather. The Chap in the Cap from Motolegends (totally up his arse, pontificating man who clearly gave himself his own nickname and announces it at the beginning of every review) really didn’t like Bowtex but does like the Pando Moto. They are softer, stretchier, better fitting and more breathable. The new ones are pretty pricey but the last iteration is being sold off cheap so I got a pair for £115 rather than £200 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're gonna, you want to do it soon because the O2 version has been superseded by O3 which are pretty much identical but the O2 stocks being sold off much cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the emails they send out, right up their own arses. I particularly like the long diatribe a few months ago about why customers shouldn't visit their shop, followed up recently by another one with reasons why you should visit their shop and a link to directions to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought mine from Fowlers as I had loyalty discount and vouchers, probably wouldn't have paid the asking price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 I might have just been a bit bad, in my defence I haven’t bought any new motor cycle clobber in years (apart from the base layer above and a duplicate set of some things to leave in Spain) and my other Roland Sands jacket is lovely.. and this was too much of a bargain to ignore.. and I don’t have a black jacket. Only £222. Yep I’m now convinced it was a necessary purchase. These may have also fallen into the basket 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 The base layer arrived. It’s really comfortable, super soft and the thin armour is fabric backed. Very pleased, will update after I’ve ridden to Brighton in them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 Just ordered a second pair of the Pando Moto leggings. Yep I like them that much. Well that and I'll be messing about in the Spanish alps for a couple of weeks and I can't imagine wearing one pair for the entire time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
