The knicks are comfy and nice fitting the socks appear to be very high quality, with one of my mates saying they are excellent quality and feel for riding.

Laughed at it, accidently left one in, then broke it out on a long ride. Well played!

They are made in China, but there is an Aussie distributor. The range is reduced (compared to home site).Comedian wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 11:12 amGreat service. I think they are in Brisbane.

I've reviewed some of their gear and found it pretty good. Jerseys are, as expected, smaller than other sizes (need to size up) and the pick of their gear.

Depends on how stretchy it the material is, I guess?

I have no experience with Monton, but they make the club kit for the Brisbane Cycling Club so I see a bit of it around. They all seem happy with it...foo on patrol wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 9:33 amI ordered some bibs on Saturday and received then Tuesday morning with a handwritten note on the invoice saying..........Thank you for buying from an Australian Company online and included is a pair of Holiday Socks also.

I got XXL and the fit is nice, my order was for XXXL but they came in XXL I think. Oh I just checked my old orders and they were Urban Suupaa Blue.
I will confirm, when I get back home on Thursday.

Just had a look and they are 3Xl but at 104kg and getting lighter. They are on the edge for needing to drop a size for me now, so if you don't have a gut, I think a 2XL would be at the top end of being tight.

I've been ordering from Monton the past few months, have accumulated 2 pairs of bib shorts, long sleeve jersey, cap & gilet. Each time I've ordered, they've thrown in a pair of socks or gloves, as well as the handwritten note.foo on patrol wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 9:33 amI ordered some bibs on Saturday and received then Tuesday morning with a handwritten note on the invoice saying..........Thank you for buying from an Australian Company online and included is a pair of Holiday Socks also.

Although the products are all of great quality & price is very good compared to other brands, it's the service I remember & will keep me going back.
As a side, I notice they have a whole bunch of bib shorts in different colours now as well.
