StuH Sep 2018 8:55pm, 25 Sep 2018 2,534 posts	Quote Pin StuH The lettered sizes have a completely linear relationship with the traditional inches in the size guide, what's the point? Why not call it a 42" chest, which means something to people, rather than an "F"?

Fragile Do Not Bend Sep 2018 11:12pm, 25 Sep 2018 3,409 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend I was expecting prices along the lines of Tribe or Nike, so they are cheap compared to that!

larkim Sep 2018 7:15am, 26 Sep 2018 5,638 posts	Quote Pin larkim I’m sure there’ll be a good chunk of loyal parkrun fans who’ll give the brand a go - given that parkrun benefits from the profits if the stuff was OK I can see enough people living with a price premium. But I doubt his intention is only to sell to hardcore parkrun fans.

Not sure about spending £30 on base layer if I can get a Helly for less than 20. If they can release a short that meets my exacting standards, then I might think about it.

Wriggling Snake Sep 2018 12:33pm, 26 Sep 2018 19,514 posts	Quote Pin Wriggling Snake I saw the contra stuff and thought nothing of it at all. Just had a look at the website, middling to over priced, sizing letters is a stupid idea, just have the number. The proof it is stupid is that there is a guide to convert from B to whatev. Like above I have enough kit but did like the base layer. My claim fro a 50 t-shirt expired, which is why I went in there in the first place. Ah well, I'll have to run another 40 odd over the next 8 years.
