"Attractive and lightweight, these have only seen action on the turbo over the winter months and at the gym. Looking forward to warmer weather where shorts , nice socks, short sleeve jerseys and sunlight will raise the spirits. No issues with these whatsoever."

"The price for jammers moves up a notch when descriptors such as chlorine resistant, compression fit, long lasting etc is supplemented with 'hydrophobic' 'water repellent'. As entry level hydrophobic materials go the Maru Jammers are colourful eye catching and carry that fina approved logo... The kind of thing that eagle eyed youngsters notice on each other's suits when it comes to race meets. So if you want some eye catching colours, a fina logo on your race jammers and some hydrophobic material technology to boot then these xt2's and indeed the xt1's are great value. I've noticed that the maru range is very popular at junior age meets and certainly see more of these than say the speedo lzr range which is at the other end of the price scale. With growing youngsters, why invest more?"

"Finally wore out my north waves. Usual great service from wiggle. Xxxl was great fit I'm 6 ft 4. Description states some compression qualities ... A nice fit but nothing tight. Bought the grey ones and wished I'd had the courage to order some of the coloured panelled ones. First impressions are positive and I look forward to seeing how these shape up over the winter months."

Maximum comfort, a hydrodynamic profile and wide peripheral vision with less head movement make the Elite Goggle a key weapon in the armoury of the serious swimmer.

"Well, just about everyone else is wearing these at the Race Meets, so the request from Marine Boy duly came in. They look the part and I'm certain the ergonomic styling will be worth A few shavings off his PBs. Look the part and immediately gave rise to big grin."

This shoecover aims to keep you visible and protected. A fleecey inside keeps you warm while the simple, effective closure system and the fully taped inside make it great to use.

"These are stonkingly fluoro in colour and will assist being noticed by traffic I'm sure. Yes they will probably cause a few admiring glances from other riders too, and perhaps some laughing reactions too! Fit well over my 48 shoes. Will help to keep feet warm and dry. Sealed zip is a nice touch though I prefer zips/ closures at the rear of the overshoe - these have closures to the side over the ankle and for me a wee bit more fiddle to put on , I guess it depends on your flexibility. Consider these a great addition to winter wardrobe."

Welke maat?
Welke maat dien ik te bestellen bij het gebruik over de Northwave Celsius GTX MTB winterlaarzen maat 43? Gaat de L 41-43 passen of toch best XL maatje groter nemen?
Top 100 Contributor
I've found these to be a good match for my shoe size so xxl for 47s.... Give it a go you can always change them.

Inseam length
I'm 6' 4" but have a 38" inseam and 32" waist (yes I know that's very odd) - would any of these sizes fit me?
Suppose if I got a smaller size they could just be calf length?
What's the returns policy?
Thanks,
Ed

I'm 6'4 too with 35 leg. These fit well and could stretch out and inch or so I'm sure. As they are winter tights and it's been winters and cold I'm wearing with long socks and overshoes... Long ankles overshoes would certainly help. My previous pair of northwaves bib tights xxl were longer than these with excess leg material. Sorry but the model of the north waves escapes me.

sizing for a fat bloke
Hi, being of the more rotund cyclist can you advise on size please - I'm 183 cm tall (6 ft) with a chest of 116cm and a waist of 111cm. The XXL would seem to suit apart from length ?? thanks

Colour - All black option?
Will you be bring these out all in black, not very keen on the colour options. The white ones would get dirty very quickly on UK winter roads.

Sizing for tall riders?
Hi, I'm 6'6" tall with a 45" chest, 38" waist and 35" inseam.
Would the inseam on these tights be sufficient for my measurements?
And if not could you recommend an alternative?

I'd say so I'm an inch shorter and bigger in the torso than you. At this cost I'd give it a go.
