I saw this deal, 2XU must be clearing out the old cervelo test team stock as they are no longer a pro cycling team. This seams like a pretty good deal and is direct from the 2XU store so is legit stock. Includes a long sleeve top and tights which RRP at $250 combined, and that is actual RRP (as seen in rebel). Also free shipping is included with the deal, so total cost is $99 for the set.

PS: first deal posted, please be nice.

    Free shipping. :D:D

    Checked out Wiggle and these were about $200 (I don't think I could find the exact ones), but jeez I hope they are warmer than my tracky dacks and jumper.

    P.S. you should probably stick free shipping in the title.

    • The Vat on 16/05/2011 - 05:50

      Compression gear's not normally much chop for warmth - works okay as a base layer, but if it's open to the air it's only slightly better than bare skin. You'd be better off with actual running tights - if it's cold and I'm on the bike I'll wear a pair of those under my bib shorts, with a Skins top under my jersey.

      Compression gear makes me feel cooler!
      I think it's probably because it squeezes blood out of the surface capillaries..

      The idea is to improve circulation, and prevent muscle fatigue by helping to hold the muscle in place… This is not Thermal Underwear!

  • Tilduke on 15/05/2011 - 21:24

    Looks good. I'll have to pop into rebel or something to test the sizing before I purchase though.

  • adante on 15/05/2011 - 21:37

    Very tempting deal.

    edit: Sizing charts are under the respective top/bottom link and then "size chart" for anybody who's interested. Annoying it doesn't come up in search.

    • phi_AU on 15/05/2011 - 21:40

      Maybe when browsing the store it'll come up with a sizing chart when you select a sizing. I know Skins does it.

      • adante on 15/05/2011 - 21:47

        You're right. Thanks.

        Anybody who already owns a pair, care to comment on their sizing system? Was faintly surprised (and a little skeptical?) to find that for leggings I should get M (for 183cm/80kg), as I am normally L (I'm L for chest).

        • phi_AU on 15/05/2011 - 22:55

          When I got Skins, I'm a small through their sizing even though I'm normally a medium with regular clothing.

        • ESEMCE on 16/05/2011 - 08:55

          pretty much need to get the size below what you'd normally choose..
          it's all about compression!

    cheers mate - was after some of these!

  • Succulent Synth on 15/05/2011 - 21:44
    +22

    I realised I needed these today after riding my bike in regular tracky dacks, getting them caught in my bike chain and subsequently getting dacked in front of Crown Casino.

    Is this deal available online only or in store as well?

  • thatsundance on 15/05/2011 - 21:56

    Just ordered two.
    Great find, Bens. And free shipping is amazing!

  • jasonsupertramp on 15/05/2011 - 22:09

    with winter upon us, morning runs have been damn hard.
    are these cycling tights and tops suitable for running? any have experience using these for running/jogging?
    my skins tights are getting old.

    • Purt on 15/05/2011 - 23:15

      they're probably more suitable for running rather than cycling….

      • jasonsupertramp on 15/05/2011 - 23:17

        really? i thought these were designed for cycling?
        if i buy them, ill be using it for running mostly.

      • Trance N Dance on 15/05/2011 - 23:20

        I thought it didnt matter, theyre just compression gear after all.

      • Purt on 15/05/2011 - 23:26

        yeah it really doesn't matter, it's just marketing techniques.

      • de_st1jlinator on 16/05/2011 - 00:23

        probably true. i bought the compression tights and was a bit dissapointed they didn't have padding

  • ausooi on 15/05/2011 - 22:12

    Thanks champ!.. Been looking for another one like these! Pretty sure about the tights, but haven't got the top before, so guessing same size (fingers crossed).

    While may not be a pro cycling team anymore, they still look very good.

  • luxx on 15/05/2011 - 22:15

    Awesome deal!

    Does anyone know if the tights have a chamois or are they pretty much like the standard running tights?

    • plasmapuff on 15/05/2011 - 22:17

      No chamois despite their labeling as "cycling gear".

      Just wear over the top :)

  • dkslim on 15/05/2011 - 22:17

    Do people wear these to reduce air resistance or to show off their body?

    • looseylu on 15/05/2011 - 22:25
      +3

      i do both…plus it stops my muscles from vibrating too much

    • ESEMCE on 16/05/2011 - 08:58

      It's about reducing muscle fatigue caused by vibration shock through the muscle..
      They do actually work!
      I'm not convinced they'd be all that useful for cyclists though… not too much vibration/shock, unlike running.

  • Miami Mall Alien on 15/05/2011 - 22:18
    +1

    I believe these are more appropriately known as "Nut Crushers".

  • ssxmal on 15/05/2011 - 22:26

    too bad its not for compression wear….

  • backslashio on 15/05/2011 - 22:34

    I'm quite tempted since I do like cycling but I'm not sure about an all black outfit, I don't have the muscles to balance it out :P And it looks more like a wetsuit. Good deal though, I'm currently using some cheapo Cell Bike tights but these look much comfier

    edit: Its a shame I can't combine the tights with a cycling jersey on that website for a similar offer :( They look very cool

  • bobjane on 15/05/2011 - 22:47

    Do these keep you warm? Because there's also thermal tights in their range.

    • browser on 15/05/2011 - 23:00

      Would like to know as well.

      • Ragnarok1983 on 15/05/2011 - 23:29

        Doubt it judging by the previous 2XU and Skins stuff I have bought.

  • Ingram on 15/05/2011 - 22:53

    Going by the size chart I should get LT for legs, but I'm 6"3 and pretty big so I'm not sure if this is right?

    For the shirt it reckons I should be L, I measured my chest and it's about 103CM, I guess that's right…

    • Ahil on 16/05/2011 - 18:56

      would you be able to post a link (or directions) to the sizing chart?
      I had a look but oculdnt seem to find it

      edit: never mind. i see someone has already posted it.

  • Steptoe on 15/05/2011 - 23:21

    Anyone buy these? How do you get it into your cart for $99? Is there a Coupon/Code?

    Adding individual pieces shows as $250 the pair. Not sure on sizing so not ready to buy, but curious all the same.

    • ur2dads on 15/05/2011 - 23:24

      Add both and it will automatically be reduced to $99.

    • Purt on 15/05/2011 - 23:29

      scroll down…..

    ST, MT, LT? what size are those?

    • browser on 15/05/2011 - 23:55
      +2

      Small Tall, Medium Tall, Large Tall? Just guessing here, possibly for the super fits (i.e. skinner than average people with the same height).

      • backslashio on 16/05/2011 - 00:12

        I wish normal pants had these sizes. I always end up with pants that are too short yet fit the waist :(

        • Tilduke on 16/05/2011 - 10:26

          There are long leg versions of most business pants brands as well as jeans at places like jeans west.

  • tailgatinholden on 15/05/2011 - 23:52

    I really like the feel of 2XU.. it's a nice tight fit but very light..
    body science, puma are really thick. nike and ebay cheapos are not that good (too loose)
    skins are good, these are better.. haven't tried skins400 series though.

    these won't really keep you warm like thermals. if in doubt, try the smaller size end.. it's most effective when it actually 'compresses' the muscles.

  • Ingram on 16/05/2011 - 00:09

    Do these loose their compression ability if stretched out? I'm a tad overweight at the moment but intend on losing most of the excess. I'm wondering if these will still be suitable once I've lost the weight?

    • tailgatinholden on 16/05/2011 - 19:05
      +1

      these are probably as good as you can get for elasticity.
      i bought small tights… and probably should have been medium… but through constant use, they are very hardy and have not lost elasticity.

  • browser on 16/05/2011 - 00:13

    Just ordered a set, so far only had experience with Kmart stuff, really looking forward for some good qualify compression wear.

    Not a runner myself because I run out of puff really quick, so hopefully doesn't look lame to walk in this.

    • backslashio on 16/05/2011 - 00:16
      +1

      If in doubt, walk at night until you get fit ;)

    • joeno on 16/05/2011 - 12:25

      Is this reliable? Guess most people are under small.

      • Purt on 16/05/2011 - 12:29

        You just use the one on the 2xu website although both charts are the same sizing.

      • backslashio on 16/05/2011 - 14:05

        This is from the same product (Highlytunedathletes also sells 2XU) so yes it is :) I couldn't find the chart on the 2XU site

    • joeno on 16/05/2011 - 12:25

      Whoops double post.

  • 8azinga on 16/05/2011 - 00:41

    Great Deal. 2XU outlet in Canberra had the standard tights on sale for $70 last week so this is even better. I believe these are the same as the standard compression tights/top but just with Cervelo Test Team on them and are not cycling specific as such. The test team used them for recovery off the bike.

  • A Banana4scale on 16/05/2011 - 01:31

    these can be used in the gym right? All compression ones are the same aren't they?

    Except maybe the ones with thick padding around the crotch area…

  • Hutchy on 16/05/2011 - 01:42

    great deal. medium top is already sold out though, bummer.

  • Ingram on 16/05/2011 - 04:20

    Ok I ordered some LT and L shirt, I should have got M but sold out, decided to pull the trigger before the other sizes were sold out. Hope it fits!

    • Damo on 16/05/2011 - 11:37

      Im 6"3 and got the same - they should be fine!

  • Fluke Australia on 16/05/2011 - 07:01

    Can anyone see the same offer for women?

  • ComfortablyNumb on 16/05/2011 - 08:18

    Great! Ordered a set of these for the bike. Canberra was terribly cold, foggy and frosty this morning, these will be perfect under my normal bike gear.

    Cheers!

  • jtb on 16/05/2011 - 09:21

    Just purchased a set, will be good to compare with the skins I purchased from 1-day. Thanks Ben.

  • hoiboy on 16/05/2011 - 12:03

    Amazing what Ozbargain does, this appeared on bicycle.net.au forum last Thurs and I bought a set (I thought it was a good price but didn't think of how good it was), then I saw this today and go to buy another set and most of the top's sizes were sold out!

    Anyway, a XL 2XU top to ebay I suppose.

  • Damo on 16/05/2011 - 12:06

    Note that the 2xu sale will be on again soon - the clearance so hold out!

    • hoiboy on 16/05/2011 - 12:12

      I hope the clearance prices are better than this deal, but 1) from previous times, I don't think so (both re: available sizing and prices) and 2) only for Melbourne-siders unfortunately.

    • joeno on 16/05/2011 - 12:16

  • browser on 24/05/2011 - 23:19

    Is it supposed to be very tight fit? I am well within size L but some how the fit is really snug. I hope it doesn't get damaged due to too much stretching.

    • joeno on 25/05/2011 - 09:37

      The store actually suggests picking the smaller size. I have done this as I was on the borderline and it is really damn tight.

  • joeno on 25/05/2011 - 09:23

    The fitting is very tight. The top chaffes on my armpits, and pants fit but really need to pull it hard past my feet.

    Wondering if this is natural? Maybe I should return it and ask for an upsize.

    • browser on 25/05/2011 - 19:10

      pants fit but really need to pull it hard past my feet

      Exactly the same issue, the bottom opening of the pants is really small, have to put in some effort to go pass, but once on the pants fit snuggly.

      May be that's the way it is.

    • Wildesy on 26/05/2011 - 09:40

      Haha, stole the words right out of my mouth. Came here to post the exact same thing! I was going to ask if anyone wanted to trade a medium sized top for a small because the small is rubbing like hell on my armpit. Seems silly to have the join running right under the armpit.
      Pants were a hassle to get over the heel over the foot, but they fit well once on.

      Pretty sure you can't return these btw (unless faulty) because they are a sale item.

      • A Banana4scale on 27/05/2011 - 09:36

        I think I read that they can be exchanged in the 2XU stores on the website but only exchange and no refund.

        http://www.2xu.com/Support/1/30

        • joeno on 27/05/2011 - 12:35

          I took the tags off. The guy I contacted there told me no exchanges unless it hasn't been worn and the tag is still on.

        • A Banana4scale on 27/05/2011 - 19:33

          did you throw them away?
          If you got a friend in clothing retail he/she might have the tag gun. You can attach the tag and return it then.
          I have done it before but not with 2XU.

          Although mine was unworn!

  • jtb on 26/05/2011 - 17:41

    Just got my pair. It's a bit tight (maybe I should have egone with a small… instead fo xs), but otherwise comfortable. Quick question though… is there a technique to getting the pants on? I feel like I'm going to rip the seams getting the legs over my feet.

  • [Deactivated] on 27/05/2011 - 01:07

    Getting these on and off is pretty much exactly the same as my wetsuit, difficult. I cant wait until a super hard training session leaves me with not enough energy to get them off!

  • ComfortablyNumb on 27/05/2011 - 10:21

    They are great, got a tight set so they provide a little bit of warmth.

    Same here regarding the bottom of the leggings (foot holes) very tight!!!

    Thanks again, great bargain!

  • joeno on 27/05/2011 - 12:33

    The top chaffs, but I think that has to do with the seams rather than the tightness.

    It fits for sure, just not very comfortably. Maybe that's how it is supposed to feel? Can anyone verify.

  • daKIK on 31/05/2011 - 19:13

    I got my package today, pretty pleased with the quality of the product!
    I ordered 2 one in XL and one in LT, wasnt sure which size tights to get!
    My LT compression tights were infact the ELITE model advertised on the website for $185 and they fit me a lot better than the XL size! I guess I know which ones ill be keeping! :D
