Polaris Breezer

Advantages: Everything about this shoes and idea of having that type of shoes
Disadvantages: none

...possible source of information's. Once in rainy day was thinking about next day and smashed on a car which stopped without any reason. I was going about 30-35 kilometres per hour Shoes to which are attached cleats accumulated most of force but even that it did not help. Hit was so strong that uncleated and landed on roof of car and slide on a street. Next day I could not walk I had so badly stretched muscles in my legs. I do not want to think what could happen without being attached to bicycle. Do not get me wrong that telling you all that it is only to explain you how strong, tough Polaris MR5000 are and useful. Thus after one year of seriously hard service it is enough to clean them and they look like brand new. Sole is very stiff. Competition thread & front metal screw-in studs are for extra grip. That helps pedalling and makes... Read review

Advantages: Quality of mayerials & manufacture. Pocket arrangements
Disadvantages: Shape design and cut. Cost.

...Wanted an all purpose touring short to replace my Beanbags which are destined for the dustbin. Polaris Nexus Touring Short: Tried to find local shops which stoke this item, but without luck. Therefore bought on-line. Pleasantly surprised by quality of material and manufacture. All going well until I tried them on. At six foot, I'm tall but not enormous. With a normal waist of 36" I obtained the XL size (37"). The waist would have been just right if it was at my waist. Fit is more like a pair of hipsters than cycling shorts. Needs a further 2" in body length. Given the XL tag, the seat was far too tight and the cut at the front (under the delicate bits) more so. I have a traditional dropped bar touring bilke with bars 2" below saddle, so tend to lean forward - after an hour, dowright uncomfortable. Does raise question... Read review

Advantages: Hard wearing, smart, practical
Disadvantages: very uncomfortable

...I have a pair of Polaris Nexus cycle shorts purchased in 1996 or there abouts, they are comfortable (I have removed the padding) smart and hard wearing. They have covered thousands of miles and are only just starting to show their age. I have another pair identical in all but colour purchased in 2005 which are so tight around the nuts as to be useable only for indoor games. This reflects the review of the other reviewer of these shorts and indicates a superb product ruined through lack of attention to detail (possibly during a change of manufacturer). The shorts seem to be cut for standing up not for cycling. I do not know if Polaris still exist as their Web Site is no longer available, if they do not still exist it is easy to see why not!...
