also a fan of these bibs from Rion https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832726343269.html

I picked up some thermal bibs from Rion right at the beginning of the winter. 

Quality wise they are really nice, but their smallest size is waaaay to big for me (165cm tall, 55.3kg) I gave them to a buddy who is about 175cm tall and 72kg and he loves them.

Looks like the ones I ordered are longer available.  Shame, I really liked the zippers on the leg cuffs and just above the front chamois. (why isn't that a bigger thing?)

I wound up with some thermal bibs from YKYW that are nice, but not as comfy as my DeMarchi summer bibs.  The smallest size is still a tiny bit too big in the chamois/waist area.

my logic to buying clothes from Ali is to stick to known brands and known stores, with dozens/hundreds of sales and feedback.
Otherwise, it's just risk-taking. I'm then accepting the risk that could be money lost when a product without any quality is delivered...
Same here, I have taken risks a few times, knowing it was a risk and been disappointed almost every time.

From Temu,
https://share.temu.com/UW85epHXFfA

I tried it, pad was ok as long as you don't have wide sit bones. It's not very wide. Seemed dense.
I like the material of the fabric. stitching seemed to hold up so far.
Ran a little long on the leg and size was a little big so i'm trying out a smaller size.
No pockets.

Pad seems supple
Runs big so Im trying a smaller size then usual
Does have pockets
Seems very breathable
Shoulder Straps feel good

I havent taken the time to read much of this thread, but FYI, i just bought from the "Darevie official store" on Aliexpress a bib with the "elastic interface Paris HP men" pad, which afaik is very well regarded (120kg/m3 density in some parts, all foam, no gel), for 29 eur, shipped to Europe. It's black, nothing special, but it's the 1st time i see BIB at this price point with this pad.
It's under the "choiceday" thing on aliexpress, so it's unlikely to last, i guess? Headline price (BS, for sure, but still) is 70 eur. Their lower spec BIB from the same store is several euro more expensive.
The store itself has thousands of transactions, 98% positive reviews, blablabla.
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

Bought a couple recently, and quite impressed with them.  I'll be getting more.

I tried a pair of these and the leg was short and the opening strangled my thigh.

Can't say I was overly impressed with em
LET'S MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT 2024!

The rion bibs look like they are the same as my YKYWbike bibs and I'm not the biggest fan of the pad. It's very stiff and doesn't conform to the saddle very well

I had one pair from ali that strangled my thigh too. That was really odd. Can't wear them at all. I've worn various brands outside of ali and never had that happen.

I was just wondering what are the best brands to get cycling leg and arm warmers on ali from everyone's experience?

Thanks!

I use these warmer from Ykywbike - good fit (EU size L -> size XL) - they are ok for me.

Link: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005006103051131.html?pdp_npi=4%40dis%21EUR%21%E2%82%AC%2026%2C05%21%E2%82%AC%2024%2C73%21%21%2127.31%2125.93%21%40211b600b17120750457352043e2274%2112000035755883989%21sh%21DE%211984007265%21&spm=a2g0o.store_pc_allItems_or_groupList.new_all_items_2007508669483.1005006103051131&gatewayAdapt=glo2deu

For what temperature, and how cold do you run? 10-20°C is both too broad and too hot to be meaningful to me. 10c is when i START to get uncomfortable with a short sleeve jersey, 25€ is pretty nuts when there are whole thermal jerseys at that price. Unless "10-20c" means it adds 10 to 20c which is a bold claim too. They don't show the material, thickness or inside either.
Sidenote, first ride today with x-tiger shoe covers and I'm sold. $3 and I definitely could feel the warmth. Easy to put on aswell, great purchase

The inside is lined with fleece and keeps you very warm at temperatures around 10°C.
For rides at 20°C they would definitely be too warm for me - from around 15°C I always ride in short jerseys whitout warmer.
