 I need to win this...been riding naked for many years but I think the authorities are onto me.

 Winning is the only way I'll ever own these items... who pays $150 for shorts that don't even come with a chamois, and $110 for a very basic jersey that doesn't even have pockets? (C'mon, nobody wants to carry anything in cargo shorts during a trail ride). Especially when you know they could easily get wasted the first time you crash.

 don't project your poverty on the rest of us. obviously someone buys this stuff or they would have gone out of business by this time, no?

 I think those are quite reasonable prices for quality gear.

 Who rides with a chamois?

 @GlazedHam: Obviously people buy it, my question is who? Do you pay that kind of money for a plain jersey and shorts that don't offer any benefit over some that are half the price? I'm flattered that you assume I'm poor, but in reality I'm solidly middle-class with a suburban home and family and other expenses that make paying outrageous prices for bicycle clothing seem like a poor decision.

 @megatryn: Congratulations, where did you go to dental school?

 Who cares how much other people make and what they spend their money on? If nobody is buying overpriced products they'll go on sale or out of business...but who cares?

Looks like they're giving away clothes for free right now and thats cool.

 I got some nukeproof shorts on clearance from CRC. They're very comfortable, and I have crashed 3 or 4 times, still no rips. Cost to my door, $45.

 @srjacobs: I for one am grateful for “plain” clothing (though not sure if you means this with respect to graphics or lack of pockets).
For graphics: I detest the big logos - I think they look dumb and out of place on everyone who isn’t racing world cups.
For pockets: totally agree, more pockets. I have Sugoi and 7Mesh “baggy” jerseys that have pockets At/above the lateral hips, and they’re so nice. Wish more people did this.
Thank you Assos and 7Mesh for making gear that looks good (at least to me!).

 @JacobyDH: there is no right, wrong, fair, or unfair pricing in typical retail products that are unnecessary for survival. This obviously excludes medical, utilities, financial-type situations. I can buy beef cheaply at the grocery store, but if a restaurant wants to sell a steak for $100 they are not mistreating anyone. Purely retail or service companies should be able to charge what they want and make whatever profit they want. Outragious pricing means decreased sales and competition undercutting them...that's what keeps free market pricing in check, not people's feelings.

 @srjacobs: the same people that buy that Graphene $150 chain line buy this non sense.

For the most part, a lot of clothing apparel go on sale towards the end of bike park season. Like usually I’ll see an MSRP for Fox shorts for $80, I wait for end of season sales, I can usually get it for $40. Or even cheaper is when you get it at a bike festival.

It’s how this industry works. They love knee jerk riders. They get goober profit off them sheep. Because some people see “oh piece of candy” and they just have to have it.

 Built in spanx to help conceal the dadbod? They do look comfy though...but yeah at that price perhaps not something I'd seek out otherwise given the availability of so many other good options for comparable or more affordable pricing.

 It always has, and always will be. It has no start and no end. Also they gave some lucky bastard a bike for saying it looked like a session.

 @pdxkid: Probably not. Back when the Session 7 and 77 came out, no one would say they looked like a Session. Heck, if they'd release their Session 10 now, people might say Trek has jumped on the idler pulley bandwagon. Then a few years later indeed, they released the Session 8 and people would say it looks like a Session.
