Just curious whether they’ve gotten back on track. On another note, what’s the deal with the guy with the beard? Does he really swim with that thing?

I'd never heard of this brand, so I checked it out. I love some of their designs, but, HOLY SHIT, they are expensive! I saw a $600 aerosuit. Some jammers for over $100? Damn! I can only hope to have that sort of "fuck you" money when I am older.

"back on track" assumes they were "on track" at some point in the past

It is expensive, but that's because they're not just offering a product. They're offering an experience. Imagine you order something, 2 days later it turns up. Big deal. With LTP, you don't know when it's going to turn up, if ever. Perhaps you'll first see your suit worn by some random guy on IG before receiving it many months later. And that uncertainty creates intrigue and excitement. It adds value to your LTP product.

Their name refers to the ordering/fulfillment experience , not the sport. [/pink]

I was thinking about getting their Colorado tri suit (I live in and absolutely love Colorado), but, after reading the reviews, I'm not sure I want to take the risk. That thread is an absolute shit show for Love the Pain. It's not just the delays either, there's a lot of wrong/altered product that apparently gets shipped.

It's like a unique story scripted in each set of britches.

There is no risk. You can be very confident that your credit card charge will be accompanied by a very long headache.

What is the deal with Aliexpress? Is it a legit website (this question isn’t really targeted at LTP products)?
Re: Any recent Love the Pain orders? [DFW_Tri]

It's an Alibaba company, so quite real.

So they make fake, look-a-like-products and sell them at a fraction of the cost? Ok, I always wondered.
Re: Any recent Love the Pain orders? [TriDavis]

seems they have wattie ink and ryzon too! huzzah! now i can look pro without the price tag :D
Re: Any recent Love the Pain orders? [IamSpartacus]

Has anyone ever used these knockoff Chinese kits? I bet they’re similar quality as the real thing at a fraction of the cost. I would have no problem buying from them as it’s hard to justify the 88% mark up.

So basically the authentic LTP ordering experience, but cheaper?

My n=1 experience ordering from a vendor on AliExpress was that they sent me 1 of a quantity 3 order and called it a day. The dispute process was basically a joke stacked in the favor of the vendor, and I finally disputed w/ the credit card and received the difference back. Personally, I wouldn't order through their site again, though I'm sure there have been plenty of satisfied customers who do.
