Exte Ondo, what the heck???

[roadie gal]

Have you seen the prices they're asking for their clothing? Can someone explain why they're so expensive and whether or not they're worth it?

Well, here are a couple of guesses:

a) Crummy exchange rate of the dollar vs other currencies.

b) Unless I'm mistaken ... EO clothing isn't made by sweatshop laborers in China or thereabouts.

I have an extensive EO collection and for me, they are well worth it.

Main reasons:
• Top quality workmanship and fabrics
(everything else seems cheap and flimsy in comparison, except Assos)
• They are available in smaller, very fitted sizes
• Full-zip jerseys
• Sleek designs which aren't too girly or silly

I don't care much for their shorts, but their winter gear is top notch.

[Velobambina]

Agree. Exceedingly high quality clothes that are worth the money. Just watch for sales.

Same reason Orbeas are so pricey? They are both Basque companies.

I got some bibs for about $70 off Sierra Trading post and from what I can tell they are worth the full selling price. The problem is I am not a fan of the chamois but I love the fabric. It feels so light yet supports, nice combo especially when it is 100 degrees out. For me it isn't a long ride chamois which stinks since they are the nicest fabric. :rolleyes:
