I've known about chainlove for a while, but it hasn't become a full blown addiction until I got the firefox addon the other day. I haven't bought anything yet, but I'm tempted every 30 mins when it updates. I feel like it should buy it even if I don't need it just because its such a good deal!:busted:

What have you guys bought off of the devil's website?

Bought some Dakine shorts from them and got them pretty cheap, and fast. Matter of fact, I paid about half of what they cost on other sites.

I bought a really nice fox jacket off of there a few days ago. Super cheap, got here super fast. I check it pretty regularly, I check it on my phone when I'm not on my computer.

Between Chainlove, SAC, and Whiskey, I bet I've spent $3-4k. That doesn't count the wifes stuff. When you get 3 packages a week, or when we both get a box on the same day, you know it's time for a break.
Whiskey is great for shoes and casual clothes.

Yep, only thing I've bought is my bike but there's been lots of stuff I've had to hold myself back from... mainly helmets and goggles.

Every time I look it's womens wear or small frames I wouldn't buy anyway. Of course I don't run the plug-in anymore, so I'm not as temped, either. :rofl:

Stuff tends to go in waves. There will be 3-4 weeks when it's nothin but bad shorts and ugly glasses. Maybe some cheap road shoes and ill-fitting fox gloves.
Then there will be $10 nice gloves, $100 HID NR lights, and boutique frames on close-out in every size and color.

I've gotten a few lemons, bt I'm definitly in the black overall.

did this come with a matching flatbill hat?

if you got it for cheap...cool.
I needed a new helmet bad, this one is really nice features-wise and very comfy, with a removeable liner to wash. The selling point is it came in XXL to fit my giant melon.

i know this pain......hat size....7 3/4
I have the very same problem. I can't buy a lid online unless I've put one on. My Vigor Vamoose is a 2xl and is one of the few full face lids that fits. Forget trying to squeeze into a skate lid.

I hear they make a big head skate lid now, need to check it out.

Two great pairs of Oakley shorts for SUPER cheap! I should have know they would never fit though... finally sold them to a friend both for $20 after two years of wishful thinking.

I used to be on that site all day every day. But I finally broker the habit when I took this job a couple of years ago. Maybe I'll go check it out now!

Yep I get my white leather DCs there and recently bought some Anarchy Prosecution sunnys for $25.

They will also hold your order for a week, so you can add more items to save on shipping.
I'm usually not patient enough to save shipping :( That...and I tell myself I'm not going to get anything else that soon, then something else ends up coming up that I want....the vicious cycle....

I have bought 4 pair of gloves off Chainlove, and none of them fit. Just got a pair of TLD's in the mail today. Fit ok, but the fingers are too long.

They have some strange shipping practices. $7.50 seems a bit steep for mailing a pair of gloves. It came in a giant plastic bag that would have fit a winter jacket.
