Nothing quite like having your purchases thrown at you by a surley Polish girl who scowls and huffs if you are unable to complete the transaction within 3 seconds.

I like the socks , the cycling tops have been fine and a jacket i bought is still going strong a few years later. The only issue i ever had was with zips but i notice now they are much bigg stronger zips.

Unfortunately they were 2 pairs of "lefts". I went back the next day to see if any were pairs of "rights" but no luck. For 1.99 I am not going to complain though. They wash well, are comfy, if a tiny bit tight around the ankle.
