Now, I want to know how functional that thigh pocket on the skirt really is! (I use the thigh pockets on shorts part of both my Terry skorts all the time and love them.) Can't say I'm terribly enthusiastic about a bow-tie pocket closure. How would you work that while riding? And while the skirt is blowing backward in the wind?

Oooh, and $100? Ouch.

But I really like the idea.

haven't gotten the mail yet, I was just looking on their website.

Ooh, I LOVE that skort! But I have to agree that the bow on the pocket is questionable--seems like a velcro closure would've been better. Maybe we could wait and see if TE gets them, then ask Susan for her opinion of the pocket.

I don't think the bow closes the pocket, I think the top of the pocket is drawstring. More of a decorative thing.

Bother, I just tried to create an account on the terry website so that I could buy lots of lovely kit and it keeps returning a blank. Am I the only one who has this problem?
I really wanted to buy one of their skorts - seems like such a great idea.

you can always call in the order and complain about the website while you're at it.

Yes, looks like that´s what I´ll have to do. But that means waiting until monday and a couple of things were on sale, so I hope they are still there.

Ok, none of you girls are allowed to buy any of the sale skorts in a small until I´ve decided what I want. I hope that´s ok with you all ;)

No problem! I won't buy any smalls until you've done your shopping! :D

Edit: http://www.terrybicycles.com/detail.html?c=On+Sale&sc=Skorts&item_no=9823 I have the Mad Plaid commuter skort, which is longer than the Pro Racer skort. (there's a pic of me wearing it in the Tri forum) I've bought both my commuter skorts from the Terry sale. If they run out of your size in the biking skorts, keep checking back. The colors and sizes in the sale section seem to change a lot.

Well, you may now buy smalls (or mediums or larges) to your heart´s content. The website worked today, either that or it was a problem with my browser yesterday. I was seduced by the sale prices combined with the current exchange rate, so the order was rather more than just a skort :)
Thanks to everyone who did not buy the stuff I wanted...

Why, oh why does nobody over here stock Terry clothing?

I got the catalog yesterday and thee is a pair of tights I so want. But I'm trying to not use the credit card for a while. :mad:

Maybe we could wait and see if TE gets them, then ask Susan for her opinion of the pocket.

We decided not to carry the cargo skort. I felt the pocket was impractical. It seems to me that anything with any weight to it would either bounce around on your thigh or weigh down/pull down the outer skort to the side. It would probably work for something that wasn't too heavy, though, like carrying your armwarmers or something. In fairness, though, I haven't worn the cargo skort myself, so I don't want to torpedo something that might work really well for some people. If someone does opt to purchase it, I hope you'll post your feedback!

We're expecting our Terry order soon. Lots of beautiful new prints this year!
