What's the Matter?
Rated by: gstrdr on 2008-02-23 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Freefly-pants in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Perfect fit, good material, styling
Cons: Price, delivery time, no zipper

I took exactly 5 weeks for my order to come ( just like they said it would ) I had read the previous reviews about Matters poor fit and less than quick delivery time, needless to say I was nervous about whether I was going to have to wait another 5 weeks for Matter to fix any problems. Once I tried them on however my concerns vanished. I was very pleased with the fit and the style of the pants. Super comfy and well tailored. Undoubtably the best fitting pants I have ever owned, however since there is no zipper for the crotch and the pants a made to fit relatively snug it does make going to the bathroon a little interesting.

Freefly pants
Rated by: Jazzthieve on 2007-07-09 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Freefly-pants in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: materials used
Cons: very slow service, innacurate measurements

I ordered a freefly pants and had to wait for it for 5 weeks which was pretty normal delivery time. However the pants were the wrong size and not by a little, it was made 20 cm too long. I sent it back immediatly and waited 4 weeks, after mailing at first they said they hadn't received anything. That same day an hour later I received a second mail saying they've just received it....yeah right. Matter assured me that the adjustements would not take very long (one week) and it would be sent back immediatly. I waited again and only received it after 4 weeks, and guess what... it's still the wrong size. The pants look realy baggy at the ankles and the bottom (distance from crotch to belt) is too big. Bad and slow service for a rather high price.

Dont buy Matter pants!!
Rated by: reggan on 2006-09-01 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Freefly-pants in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: None
Cons: bad fitting, bad service etc etc..

My freefly team orderded 3 pants in february and was promised a delivery in april. After mailing Matter a couple of times they finally arrived in the end of june. The fitting was terrible and I mean really terrible. Since we are slow falling girls we ordered tight fitting. My boyfriend could use mine.. We mailed Matter and they promised to remake them within a couple of days. We sent them to Spain (had to pay for the shipping) and heard nothing for three weeks. After speaking to Matter again a bunch of times we finally reacieved the pants in mid august. 14 weeks late in total!! The fitting was ok on my pants, my other teammates are still a bit disapointed.

Matter dont have any zipper on the pants which makes them extreamly difficult to take on and off. Girls have hips remember..! The pocket is unstitched at the top.

Matter did say they were sorry for the delivery time and they gave us each a sweater. Still that gesture don't compensate a whole season without team clothing.

Review of: Freefly-pants in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: hmmm
Cons: unstitched thigh pocket, only noticed AFTER jumping..stitching on leg (camo pants) coming apart after 1 jump..QUALITY CO

bah humbug....i bought 2 pairs of matter f/fly pants.....the black ones with thigh pocket....which i noticed after i got back from spain, the pocket was unstitched on the top seam.its a good job i didnt wear them with anything loaded into the pocket, it was too hot for anything but shorts!! now, the camo zip-off pants were the choice for my hols and i noticed how quickly the print faded, the fabric scuffed and the red logo stitching fell apart..(all within 8 jumps.....so no cobblers about bad washing or....'bad seating in the plane bullsh+t' please!!)..bad quality i say....but a good fit. i did contact them and they said to send them back 'to have a look at them' now i may have been tempted to lose 2pairs of keks if they'd said they would replace upon receiving....but to ship the blighters to spain to be told....'sorry mate nowt we can do' is not an endearing option,..i will buy elsewhere next time.
