I mean, I hate having my dong going numb after an hour long ride which happens for me in quite a few bibs, especially in an forward and low leaning position. That's why I mentioned it.

I'm in Germany. No those links I posted above where for product reference only. Like I mentioned a few posts before Cheji left AE (that's why you see "Shop123456"-something). they had a real name but once it gets deleted it goes to this anonymous number name.

So, no, you cannot (at least I can't) get them for the prices anymore. Sadly.

With sales, I indeed meant the "normal" AE sales. Like first of the month thingy. Usually, Cheji did lower prices their prices for it as well. And the combination made for some really good deals. But as I said not possible right now as they don't have any current listings (for me in Germany). My suspicion is that they scrapped everything from AE for the countries they now want to sell directly to in their own shop.

I just actually placed an order for another bib with the red pad and a jersey from Cheji - hope they're legit back in AliExpress
BTW - I'm based here in Canada so I'll let you know when I get them to confirm they're legit.

This, i could buy today, it seems. I came across it a few minutes after looking at the link you shared. I can get it for 30 eur all in (net of a 4 eur discount i think). I'm tempted, but i'd rather spend 25
It's early in the season, i have enough BIBs for now, I barely ride. if anyone sees prices drop, DM me :p

Saw that one being posted earlier. Doesn't ship to Germany. That's why I had the suspicion they have a "target country list" for their own website/shop.

PS: it's also a slightly different bib compared to mine. The straps and back panel on mine are in a white mesh like fabric. This one seems "dense". Not sure about the shorts and pad, might be the same, might be slightly different. Can't say for sure.

I recently picked up this wind vest. Quality is surprisingly good with solid stitching and an excellent double zipper. Highly recommended for the price.

here are my bibs so far

Cheji bibs with the red chamois pad - 5/5
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008628157484.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.5.23f6f19cUEETeU
These are by far the best bibs I've purchased from AliExpress! The quality is excellent, and the fit is perfect (size L for me at 75kg). The red chamois pad offers outstanding comfort for both short and long rides. It’s so good that I bought a second pair when they became available again.
I’ll only buy Cheji bibs from now on, and I even suggested they consider offering cargo bibs. They said they’ll let me know when they do.

Hiserwa bib with EI pad - 3/5
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006472162753.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.4405f19cALi5pc
I initially received the wrong bib, but Hiserwa quickly corrected the mistake by letting me keep the wrong item and sending the correct one. The fit is good (size L for 75kg), but the compression makes me feel like a hotdog in the tights.
The EI pad seems decent, offering adequate cushioning, though it feels abrasive without chamois cream. Also, the leg length is a bit long for my preference. For the price, it’s still a solid option, but I’d rather spend a little more on the Cheji bibs.

Interestingly, the "wrong" bib they sent me turned out to be surprisingly good. The pad isn't EI, but it's comfortable and offers good support, and the fit is excellent. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find this exact bib on AliExpress, but it seems similar to this one, but without the cargo pockets.

Thinkrider with grey bibs and cargo side pockets - 3/5
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005377374398.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.19fbf19cpVzLBr
These bibs are affordable and still offer good quality. The sizing is on the smaller side, but they fit me OK (consider sizing up if you don’t want them to feel like compression tights). The cargo pockets are functional and fit my Pixel 8 Pro comfortably.
The main downside is the pad, which is fine for shorter rides but not ideal for longer ones. It feels abrasive without chamois cream, so I recommend reapplying it for longer rides.

ZRSE with green dolomiti pad - 3.5/5
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006735510853.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.3e85f19ceows1J
The fit is great and true to size, and I love wearing these for short rides. The green Dolomiti pad is marketed for 6-hour rides, but I couldn’t even last 2 hours with it. The pad’s design is similar to my Assos bibs (which have a pink pad) but doesn’t offer the same level of comfort. Despite applying chamois cream, the perforated design of the pad makes it less durable, and the cream doesn’t last long.

sounds interesting, can you say something about sizing, what did you get?

Sizing is lean. I picked up a medium, and it's very fitted. If you want loose, I'd get a size bigger.

There's also a pocketed version that's slightly more expensive:
