Plus it was a bargain for $100 I have one of those mouse mats, got it on clearance for $10, cut it in half to make a smaller extra thick pad. |

Anything made by Kona, Norco, Cannondale, Intense, Nukeproof, Scott even Meridea make a good XC bike depends on what you really want, , Donwhill/Freestyle, DJ? My Kona Stinky is a amazing downhill/freestyle machine, really heavy built for gravity shuttle runs but I use it for XC riding it's just a challenge. check out mtbdirt.com.au They have a good for sale section grab yourself a bargain. Buying new will just waste your money. |

I will be using it in an environment akin to competing at the Olympics in tropical north Queensland, on the hottest and sweatiest summers day, around a campfire. Put it that way. |

Put it that way. EDIT: Also, i didn't realise they were so dickshitting expensive. I was expecting 40...45 bucks for that. Not $85. Youre payin for the brand SKINS, you can buy much cheaper NIKE, Adidas, Slazenger, Kooga etc etc branded gear that do the same thing. The only difference I have found between SKINS and the others is Skins are a tad thicker fabric than the others. |

The only difference I found was the skins logo wore off faster than the slazenger logo.

They get tonnes, more than they will ever wear. HTH  P.S. Never worn them, they are still sitting in my cupboard. |

QUOTE (wolfman101 @ Nov 3 2012, 02:29 AM) Yeah, I really don't get this compression fad. All looks a bit silly to me. Compression is a fad, moisture wicking is not. That's what they're best for. I use them under my leathers or exercising if I'm trying to stay cool. QUOTE (Geoff @ Nov 3 2012, 10:35 AM) Id like to say ill let you know, but im sitting at the airport waiting to fly back to work and have just realised i funking left it at home. Big W, Slazenger make them, they'll keep you just as cool for less than half that price. |

I think of the compression legs like a bra for the hamstrings and calves, even if the compression is useless having the extra support feels rather good during long games / runs. Also haven't injured my hammy while wearing them, nor my calves while i was wearing long ones. |

I bought three Zegna shirts from Xile in the city last week, as he has all Zegna stuff at half price as he's getting out of it. Paid $500 for three shirts that should have cost me $1000. EXCELLENT. |
