Chinese cycling clothes

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.

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:

Did you order them for this exact offer or from a different one previously? Because I had a longer chat with said dealer, and I am 100% sure now the shop is a fake. Whatever they are selling are not the "real" Cheji bibs I ordered last year. There is no Cheji shop on AE anymore. All those offers are fakes.

--------

Edit: I reached out to Cheji via their email address on their website asking why they left AE a few weeks ago. They actually pointed me to their new store. So I retract my previous statement about this shop being fake. It seems to be the same seller. However, they left the AE choice program which means less sale offers and additional shipping costs. For me the prices nearly doubled comparing with last year which is a bummer.

My first Cheji bib was from a Choice Cheji store that is no longer active it seems. However, when I messaged them, they pointed me initially to their own Cheji website and most recently, pointed me to their NEW AliExpress store called Cheji Official Store (no longer under Choice) and I'm pretty sure what I got is legit from them.

I'm hoping Cheji add this model to their Aliexpress site. https://www.chejifactory.com/products/bib-shorts-men

Anyone can recommend some half-finger gloves? Some Rockbros ones look nice, as do some YKYWbike ones. But, The YKYWbike ones are kinda expensive and I hate Rockbros massive branding.

I've got this model with full finger and they're ok with minimal branding

I am using these "aero-style" gloves in white. They fit quite well and surprisingly are still quite white

See lots of hype on YKYW so grabbed a pair of bibs and have had them for a couple of months now.

Usually use them for 60-90min rides on the trainer, but have also taken them on a few outside rides.

Really comfortable, the grippers/legs stay put and the strap style is great considering <$30 AUD amazing value really. Ridden ~2 a week and just throw in the washing machine, no signs of wear or issues thus far.

That pad is not as good as the EI pad they have sometimes, but it's decent for short rides.
I also did 90 minutes outdoor yesterday with the cheap pad and felt absolutely no discomfort. I do feel some discomfort when using that pad on the trainer though (but I do with a pair of Assos bibs too to be fair)

I myself have few of these now. Absolutely love them even on long 8h gravel rides they perform great, for me. When they have a sale for the red pad ones, I might pick up a set to try, but for now and at $20CDN these were amazing buy. i bought a pair, tried them out on the trainer and outside, promptly bough 3 more pairs.
