Peloton 210 quality

I wonder how long the r&d process is. Are they just taking it on a week long hunt and calling it good? A couple months of constant use I feel is needed to see how well something holds up.

Wasn't too pleased at the peloton price point. Thought it was so close to the merino price why bother. I understand they have no spandex so it dries faster but if it had say 5% and added strength and lowered cost would the 5% spandex be noticeable?

Is it just mine or does the Merino 210 line have major issues with pilling? My 210 zip offs are bad and just looked at a shirt to potentially buy and it is really bad as well. I know it will not affect performance a ton but it must be a sign of the garment either breaking down or losing some material? Also the fit of the zip off pants is TIGHT. I am thin and this makes my legs feel jacked, they dont stretch a lot either. Went with large and they are almost so tight they are too uncomfrtable to wear, xl would not stay on my waist... Rant over. Thx

The 210 does seem to have piling problems and overall bad material IMO. I had a pair of 210 zip offs which I wore for the season, the pant function was awesome the materials sucked. I sent them back, bought 145s which I own in a top and is one of my favorite wool blends.

In hindsight I would have gone with 145 zip offs myself. Probably much more comfortable and better long term by the sounds of it.
