Terry Pro Monday sales...

[Crankin]

I signed up for the weekly 50% off email. Was able to ignore it last week, but this week, the cargo skort in black was there for $50.00, reduced from $100.00! I have one in khaki green, but I really need a black skort. The other black one I have from Shebeest has a chamois that gives me saddle sores every time I wear it. For some reason, most skorts look terrible on me or don't fit me, but the cargo one is great. I wear skorts all of the time when i am going on errands, appointments around town.
I hope they don't tempt me with other things I need.

I just have to ignore those emails at the moment. I don't need anything else for cycling, and I do need a sofa, so I'm saving up for that. Glad you got your skort.

I've been passing on the items in the last few of those emails too. But I also had to get another skort. I have the charcoal one, but just yesterday my husband and I talked about doing more 'around town' riding just for fun (like riding to the light rail and taking it into to Portland for an afternoon ride) and this skort is perfect for that.

I just got a black one. Yay! I don't think that there is anything else at Terry that I really want (or need), so no matter what the next few week's deals are, I should be able to resist.

I would much rather give my money to TE anyway - and I don't pay shipping from TE, so it's almost always a better deal when prices are 'normal'.

I just can't help but think they're doing this on items that aren't selling very well.
The pocket on that skort seems odd.

[KathiCville]

Ha, ha, if so, Zen, then I'm a true sucker! I already have the Single Track jersey in so many different prints that I couldn't come up with a single plausible excuse to buy yet another one when it was the ProMonday deal three weeks ago!! But I sure was tempted anyway!

I wondered this too...but that's fine with me. Less people who might be wearing the same thing I'm wearing and I get a bargain while I'm at it!

The pocket does look a little odd when on the bike, but it's well-designed. I stuck my camera in it one day just to see how it would work as I was riding and it didn't move the whole ride. I think it's in just the right place for things to stay put while riding which maybe makes it look a little weird. It's not so odd looking when you are just walking around, either.

Can I have a link?

I don't think the pocket looks odd; I've never put anything in it, but it seems sturdy.
The reason I wanted another one of these is because every other skort I have bought has some weird defect that makes my fairly fit body look lumpy, stumpy, or huge. I loved the flared skort with the wide dropped waist. But the flare just made me look like my hips were twice their real size. It fit, but it gave me muffin top, even though there was too much material for someone my size in the actual skirt. My Shebeest skort had a chamois from hell. I found a PI skort a few years ago on the sale rack in a sporting goods store. After wearing it on a 30 mile ride, I thought I would die since that chamois was too thin. The original Terry skorts seem to bunch up at the waist and the skirt part sagged down below the top of the shorts, event though I had the buckle on the tightest it could go.
I actually buy most of my stuff from Terry because they fit me (except for the other 2 skort styles). Although I now have 2 pairs of the new Shebeest shorts (which I got from TE), I still like the Bellas the best. I do like the Voler jerseys, but those seem to be specialty order things. And Terry makes x small sizes, which some other companies don't. I have bought some casual cycling stuff from TE, a rain jacket and pants, but generally, there's no price advantage there, either, unless I'm trolling the sale area.

I bought the Hawaiian print skort and have contemplated the cargo skort for 2 seasons but haven't ordered it yet. Part of it is I don't have the right top to go with it yet. I detest all the long waisted, elastic bottom jerseys paired with the skort found in the catalogue.

I do wear the black racer skort with the Sheebeast pink leopard print jersey.

I ordered one of the "Ride Like a Girl" t-shirts on the pro deal today. I am trying to weed out my older "man cut" t-shirts that don't fit me at all.

[Crankin]

Emily, let me know how those fit. I notice that they all say "longer length" and they don't come in extra small. I have returned so many yoga/running tops and t shirts this year because they are too long. I think this is a reaction against the shorter tops that let skin show a few years ago, but those are the ones that actually fit me! I would like some t shirts like that, too.

My favorite casual biking outfit is the charcoal grey cycling skort with this top in black:

It looks great together! (I only wear it on trail or group rides though due to the lack of visiblity). With the black skort, I want to get the same top in turquiose. Oh, the skort also looks good with Terry's sun godess jersey, too.

[sundial]

GLC, I've been wanting the charcoal skort for some time. I looked at the top you posted and it looks like it would drape nicely and not cling. I have a pink sun goddess jersey and wear it for noodling around.

I'd like to find something short sleeved to go with the charcoal. Any suggestions? Could you post a pic of the skort on? I'm curious about the pocket.

[GLC1968]

Ooh, that might be hard. I don't have a pic of me wearing it and my DH is out of town until Thursday, so I have no one to take one! I'll see if I can't figure something out tonight anyway.

I would check out the Betty jersey, too. I don't have it, but my guess is that it's similiar to the Veronica but with sleeves. I like both of these with this skort because they don't look too 'cycling jersey' like, if you know what I mean.
