Thanks, it'll be good to get an independent review that isn't a magazine. I saw an article about them in the latest amb in which they raved about them, but they give a good review for almost anything.No idea but ive just placed an order for a pair of gravity shorts, they look pretty sweet and Flow gave them a pretty good wrap up recently.
Ill let you know what theyre like when they arrive

They are super comfy. Like extraordinary comfy. By a pair!
BTW I am a woman so I bought the woman's pair. However they are made out of the same material which stretches in every direction. There are no tight spots and pedalling or getting over the back wheel is easy. My only concern is that the women's sizing is a bit small - I'm a size 12/14 (medium sized woman) but I had to purchase the extra large (a somewhat deflating moment especially as I have just had my second baby). I am not sure how the mens sizing go - so make sure you measure yourself and check the sizing chart.
The shorts sit nicely on the hips - not too high and not too low. The waist band is of a reasonable thickness meaning comfort - but flat with no belt loops so it wont dig in if you are wearing the hydropak. THere are velcro pull tabs to adjust the waist tightness too. Not many pockets though - but most people ride with a hydropak anyway. The leg length is nice - just to the tops of the knees, but not over the knees - so you dont have to put so much sunscreen on or foul up your knee armour if you wear it.
I like the jerseys too - the graphics are nice/bright without being over the top

Thanks for the feedback. All positive so far.
As for pockets, I'm not to fussed as I usually ride with a pack

They showed up the other day and they look sweet, hoping to try them out on the bike today (if this rain goes away...) the four way stretch material is great, nice and light weight, looks like they will be fantastic in summer thats for sure
The sizing is on the smaller side so make sure you measure yourself and look at their sizing charts.

Excellent feedback. Thanks.I took them for a spin yesterday and id give them a 10/10, comfy, lightweight, fitted, the fourway stretch is great for pedaling. Unlike my previous fox shorts they arent too baggy and there for dont get caught on the seat like my fox ones used to do. Very happy customer
