i've heard of them before, form another mumsnetter, but they seemed rather pricey to me. with the ten percent discount, seems a bit better, plus, they now have the mumsnet badge on,
any views on them? i love the look of their stuff, but thirty pounds on a workout top seems a bit much.

Too expensive for what is after all just pieces of polyester sewn together.

DrNortherner · 02/02/2008 21:51

They are tres expensive. I wouldn't bother personally.

pukkapatch · 02/02/2008 21:54

but they look really good.
i've got a usa pro bottom that i bought for 28 pounds.,at the time i thought it was way way way too much. but ive had it two years, practically live in it durieng the summer. its been washed and washed, and even tumble dried, andit still lookslike new, if their stuff is like that then i dont mind paying fifty quid for it as i know i will ge t my money's worth.
so i guess my question is, is it comparable?

They have been around for ages but suddenly every time I pick up a magazine or catalogue just lately they seem to have a Sweaty betty flyer in - they must be doing a huge marketing effort at the moment - presumably this is why they have the mumsnet discount too. Have always seemed a bit overpriced tbh.

Its expensive, but as pukkapatch says it is good quality. I bought yoga bottoms from them when pregnant with DS 5 years ago and despite being worn almost daily at one point they are good as new. I think I paid about £40 for them, so cost is less than a tenner a year.

MadamePlatypus · 02/02/2008 22:01

sorry, bit confused - "like usa pro bottoms mentioned by pukkapatch".

pukkapatch · 02/02/2008 22:02

I bought stuff from them about 10 years ago and it last FOREVER and didn't get out of shape or anything (sadly I did)

i ordered some amazing leggings from the in the sale they're really good quality and not flimsy at all - they're sort of thick so they hold you in

the sale part is the only stuff i can afford though !

my order came really quickly - good quality stuff but the postage was a bit steep (£4.50 i think)

i also bought a dance wrap around top in the sale for £10 - amazing! and a small pink water bottle for the gym which I love !

TheBlonde · 02/02/2008 22:06

some of the stuff is pretty poor quality and the colour fades
I have cotton trousers and the ends always turn up eventually

I still buy stuff there but I'm never hugely impressed

TheBlonde · 02/02/2008 22:07

I reckon their stuff used to be better quality but has gone downhill

bettythebuilder · 02/02/2008 22:25

terrible name. terrible, terrible name.

pukkapatch · 02/02/2008 22:31

used to be good quality, now gone downhill seems to be a theme on mumsnet at the moment.
boden?????
i decided to get two bottoms, not the tops. i simply cannot justify spending thirty quid on a t shirt. even if it is workout wear and wont show up ssweat etc. i'll sitck to cotton vests etc. but cant order, as cant find cc. maybe is good? gives me chance to cool off a bit?
but i want those raspberry flare type workout pants....
