Title: Jersey or skinsuit with built in hydration bladder pocket
Post by: perneto on August 30, 2024, 04:58:13 AM

I'm looking for a cheaper alternative to the Castelli Unlimited Pro jersey, or the Rule28 Gravel Suit or upcoming Rapha Blaerosuit. Has anyone seen something like that from Chinese brands? Alternatively, do you know of good companies that would do it custom?

No way. Way too niche/new of a product for them to do it. You may only have a chance if you go custom

Right, I guessed as much. So any advice on custom makers?

There are dozens of chinese bike clothing sellers on alibaba. if you send 10 RFPs with a few pictures, you may get lucky. If you can mail them one to copy, then it's just easy. Everything in china is smaller, so make sure they don't make space for a tiny bladder, but for one you'd actually want to use.
Keep us posted, as i'd probably buy one.

The first step would be trying to figure out who makes proper jersey's/skinsuits.
