darevie jerseys and RION bibs for me
great quality V price!
Sizing bang on
Inbike bibs run small
Ykywbike bibs chamois is too far forward by about 20-30mm so less padding where it's need on ass.

I recommend some jerseys; I even use some of them personally in competitions.

YKYWBIKE, excellent material, and I love the v-neck aesthetic https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005008631843968.html
YKYW, more aerodynamic sleeves and very lightweight https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005009581218117.html
SPEXCEL, for me the revolutionary brand, very beautiful aesthetically and super summery https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005009674596154.html

Ah shit I forgot the link. The jersey is the same as your first one. Really solid but just too long.

This YKYW is "race short". 186cm 80kg and I have the Asian XL.

Might get the black. White see through is just too much for me.

I am searching once again for a pair of riding shorts that fit me and are comfortable riding on gravel roads/single-tracks, dirt and asphalt for 12+ hours a day, and for several days in a row before swapping to another pair of shorts for the next couple days.  (Think long distance bikepacking.)    Yes, I use chamois cream, and keep good hygene on these long rides.  Also, I am not much of a fan of Bibs, and I know bibs have been discussed in detail within this thread.

Here is my problem,  On my long rides, directly around my sits-spots my current shorts work well.  The problems I start having is in the perineum area and farther away from my sit-spots, in the ischial tuberosity area, where, as the days pass, I start to get irritation and chafing.

I am looking for shorts that have better overall cushioning and perhaps a shape that provides more comfort in the perineum area and farther away from my sit-spots.

Any recommendations for the best shape and fitting chamois sold on Aliexpress, or for that matter any other brand that wont break the bank.

[alfiomotrambo]

Interesting discussion. 12+ hours on the bike is definitely a long time, for any type of chamois.

This is one of the best sellers https://it.aliexpress.com/item/32827067778.html, suitable for 8+ hours.

But, given the discomfort you've experienced, have you ever considered changing your saddle?

But, given the discomfort you've experienced, have you ever considered changing your saddle?

Thanks for the input. I have 3 pairs of DAREVIE Men's Cycling Shorts,  I believe that one of them is one of the 2 pairs of shorts I used on this longer ride.  I will have to compare the chamois in mine to the listing you provided.

Regarding the saddle's I use.   Since 1992, I have ridden some variation of "Sella Italia Flite" saddles for all of my multi-day cycling rides.   For this particular ride I recently finished, I swapped to my most favorite Flite saddle, from a different Flite variant I was using on this bike.  (I used this other saddle 2 weeks before for a 3-day, 2 night shorter mileage shakedown ride, with lots of climbing. On that trip I had similar but different abrasion/chafing problems.)

I used to be a Pear Izumi short rider, but in the past 10+ years, it seems like my Pearl Izumi shorts give me dis-comfort on long rides, and in the wallet.

Perhaps the old bottom aint what it used to be...

[gribs]

I'd approach the problem in a slight different way and using two different pairs of shorts swap them out half way through the day. Two different pairs are unlikely to rub in exactly the same spot and one pair can hopefully dry out whilst you're wearing the other.

Lameda is probably worth a look too:

[alfiomotrambo]

Yes it's probably a great product The problem is that you never know how good the pad can be until you try it You have to force yourself to give reviews
I saw that there is also this less expensive product https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005006821464169.html with the side waterfall which for me is super useful

[kbernstein]

as far as i know lameda is a sister brand of inbike, their products are the same just with different logos. inbike tends to be cheaper, and they are excellent for the most part

Ohhh no. Not at all. If they are sister companies, then InBike is a budget brand with much cheaper materials used. Lameda is one of the premium brands like Spexcel or YKYW.

do you have both to compare? i have no lameda but they look the exact same as my inbike stuff. the lameda store sells inbike too. inbike is absolutely not a shitty brand. sample size of 2 of each, but spexcel and ykywbike were very much misses to me  i definitely rate inbike higher

[crazyravr]

I do have both and use both. I never said inbike is a shitty brand. Not at all. But the stuff I have from Lameda is just higher quality, especially the bibs.

[dancon]

So. After not being particularly a fan of YKWKYKYBike clothing other than their bibs i tried some stuff last year. Raudax was what i would consider the worst quality of all.
Specxel is really good for the price but mostly produces for under 180cm and under 90kg. But when they fit, i love them

Im using this jersey since last year and am more than happy with it:

The spexcel stuff should come soon. I will report

[Pedaldancer]

I do have both and use both. I never said inbike is a shitty brand. Not at all. But the stuff I have from Lameda is just higher quality, especially the bibs.

100% agreed. I have both.
Lameda is higher in quality and also has more fancy designs.

I also have the statement from Lameda that Lameda is a bit more snug in the same size. I can 100% agree to that statement. 
Inbike is nice, but the fabrics are more simple and so is the design.
And yes they are connected. Inbike clothes have lameda printed on the paper stuff that hangs on the new clothes.

This BCBE long sleeve one look really good https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005010533319747.html unfortunately it's too hot for long sleeve
