I just ordered these: http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodIC_5B52.html. I'm hoping to use them as an outer layer over my knickers on the bike. I'll review soon!

Thanks for the free shipping TE!

Uh oh. I was about to write a preliminary rave review (since I've only just tried them on), when I discovered they have a hole. I'm not sure what to do: send them back and get a replacement pair, keep them and stitch up the hole, send them back and get something else. The hole is tiny, and on the back thigh.

I really like the fit and weight of the fabric, but I'm not sure if they're durable enough to ride in. I'd still keep them even if I couldn't ride in them, and even though I don't run, because the fit and fabric are so nice. I think the hole might be a fluke defect. What to do, what to do?

So, I'm going to keep them. I wore them on the bike today, and the hole didn't change. It's tiny and seems not to be unraveling, so I'm just going to darn it. Since I'm going to be riding in them, they're going to get abused anyway. I think the hole is a random flaw in an otherwise excellent knicker.

A note on size, I got med since I'm going to be wearing them mainly over knickers. I'd say if you're in between sizes, size down. I wear a M in Sheebest, and I'd go with a S in these if I were wearing them alone.

After riding in them, I like them even more. They were nice and warm, and I wasn't even aware of them. They didn't stretch out in the knees or catch on the saddle like some of my tights do, and there's no sign of pilling yet (although it was just one ride).

This is them with my new jersey (thanks, Catrin!):

They look great together! I am glad the jersey worked out for you

Which reminds me, anyone interested in the medium Ibex shorts I got from Redhodie? If I don't hear anything in a day or two will meander over to the OTHER thread
