Hi All,
I've recently moved to Aus from the UK. I always wore Tenn branded kit over there and I loved it.
I have found TENNGEAR.com.au which has some of the awesome stuff I'm used to, but it's slightly over my budget here.
I found Wiggle, Pushy's, and Velogear through google. Does anyone know if their stuff is good? Any other suggestions on where to get decent togs without totally breaking the bank? I love long rides so comfort and durability are particularly important.
Cheers,
Blue..

The dHB brand on Wiggle is quite good value for money imho.

Interesting, but I noticed a Tineli logo in one of the photos.. I haven't found Tineli stuff to be particularly good for long bike rides. Did recognise some of the riders on that site.
The best fortune I've had was a few of us getting some kit made by Cuore - superb quality:
https://www.cuore.ch/shop/au/en/
A few shops do stock them as well. I believe Jet Cycles in Sydney used to have Cuore, Giant Sydney certainly does (Cuore "silver" type).
The Australian retailer I think is in Buckland St, Alexandria NSW. Facebook post has some contact details:
https://www.facebook.com/CUORE.of.Switz ... 8004660805
I'm not sure if they sell standard kit off the rack so to speak, but the custom stuff is good. I often do 150km or more rides on consecutive days, and I have no trouble with their kit.

@g-boaf I have used the kit for >200km rides and had no issues I know others that have done the same. As well as plenty of back to back days.
Not all Chammies even by the same company are created equal.
Agree with Cuore own that kit it is comfortable but comes at a cost. I used mine heavily and after a year it showed a lot of wear.

I've always wondered in the Cuore set up in Alexandria was actually a store. Heard good things about their kit - it is expensive though!
