Chinese cycling clothes

[shoushou]

I got them with a different pad. But that link has now this same pad here.
The fabric was a bit tight (but I have thick legs). The pad was ok (it was of the yellow gel 5D or something type).
The pad placement did not work at all for me. Way too far back.
I gifted them and the next person liked them well for long rides.

Hi, does anyone have any experience with the KEMALOCE bibs. I am thinking of buying this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005225331271.html. I am especially curious about the padding material.

I got these a couple years ago. I wore them 1 ride and tossed them in the bin.   They had a different chamois in them at the time which I didn't like at all. (It was super thick and junky)   The bibs material was very thick and wasn't super stretchy like darevie, ykyw, bcbe.

Inspired by the Chinese running gear scene, turns out there's a whole bunch of stuff on Taobao available which generally seems to look pretty high quality. Great if you're in a country that Taobao ships to directly (like Aus/USA/NZ/Canada). Easiest way to shop on Taobao is through the app. Your language in the app has to be set to Chinese for most of these shops to appear.

Here's what I've found so far for higher quality gear:
deer: https://shop127160271.world.taobao.com/
Spakct: https://spakct.world.tmall.com/
Sunrimoon: https://senruimeng.world.tmall.com/ (you might know them for their helmets but they have a whole range of gear too)
NPCC: https://shop243784274.world.taobao.com/
AEC: https://allencycle.world.tmall.com/ (these guys have popped up on AliExpress now too)
Lameda: https://mflyd.world.tmall.com/ (on AliExpress too but a good range here)
Inbike: https://shop60628847.taobao.com/ (on AliExpress but a bit more range here)
SWG: https://swgyd.world.tmall.com/
Maginol: https://mjnhw.world.tmall.com/
Jakroo: https://jakroo.world.tmall.com/
EVR: https://shop458370087.taobao.com/
Soomom: https://shop117227159.taobao.com/
Monton: https://monton.world.tmall.com/
Li-ning budget store: https://liningqiji.world.tmall.com/ (known most for running but does cycling kit on the side)
Li-ning flagship store: https://lininglflh.world.tmall.com/ (the Li-ning pro-level gear)
361: https://shop489457504.taobao.com/ (another running brand that does cycling kit on the side)
Souke: https://shuqiyundonghuwai.world.tmall.com/
Nuckily: https://niukaili.world.tmall.com/
Valore AOE: https://shop315908459.taobao.com/ (more expensive but looks great)
RisingRider: https://shop350587598.world.taobao.com/
YKYWBike: https://shop454933664.world.taobao.com/ (obviously also on AliExpress, some unique items in the Taobao store though)
Slipstream: https://shop303508632.taobao.com/
Santic: https://shop566918730.world.taobao.com/
TCRC: https://tcrc.world.tmall.com/
GRC: https://shop69067081.world.taobao.com/
Flash Wolf: https://shop218969314.world.taobao.com/
Kiae: https://kiae.world.tmall.com/
BCBE: https://bcbeingyundonghuwai.world.tmall.com/ (also on AliExpress)
PFC: https://h7ydhw.world.tmall.com/
CCN: https://ccn.world.tmall.com/
Mcycle: https://shop278629381.world.taobao.com/

That took a bit longer than I thought! Heaps of really interesting looking options though. Bad month to be a credit card 

you can use a service like superbuy to buy from taobao if you're in a country it doesn't ship to, since cycling clothing usually is pretty light shipping shouldn't be outrageous, i recently paid 20usd to ship a pair of running shoes with the box from taobao via superbuy to Norway.

I recommend DAREVIE bibs, the white ones are great in summer, they don't heat you up too much https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005006820907190.html

For anyone looking for a skinsuit. I received the new Cheji model with the red pad yesterday. The cut and fabrics are very high quality—the only thing is that the leg length is a bit short for me. (For reference, I'm 187 cm tall and ordered a size XL.)

I have exactly this problem with some new Cheji shorts I've bought as well - the fabric is excellent, the pad is excellent, but the length is too short and the leg opening too wide. Not sure how to feel about it.

Every single Cheji bib I tried go up to almost mid thigh on me at 188cm and 75kg. These are really not meant for the Western body shapes.

Even at a relatively short 174cm/71kg I have this issue, but yeah, it's a shame because otherwise they're excellent.

has anyone tried the YKYW skinsuit? Seems to be rather new with few reviews

No, I haven't tried it yet; it's been on my wishlist for a while.
For now, I've got this one from BCBE https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005011789114241.html which is one of the best skinsuits I've ever tried, highly recommended (and it's a little cheaper too).

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

I am a big fan of the bib (no idea of the ride quality here tho) but the fit is perfect.
Same with the three longsleves (the black one i also have in white i didnt make pictures tho)
The jacket fits nice also.
Just the short jersey isnt as good as i wouldve liked. Didnt make pics of these also.

Seem reeeaaaaly nice quality on par with spexcel and definately better than YKWKYKB jerseys.

that one looks good as well. How is the padding? Which size did you get and how is the fit. It reads like it is very tight fitting.

[alfiomotrambo]

No issue with the padding for 4+ hours ride, for the size i'm 78 kg for 180 cm and i've got an L and it fit very tightly (usually i wear M but for Chinese brand i go 1 size up)

[jhearrtot]

I bought this recently and it arrived yesterday:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012373623508.html

I'm a big fan of Cheji bibs with their red pad (I currently have five pairs in rotation), but this one was a no-go for me, so I returned it for a full refund.

The good:

• Great quality for the price.
• The straps are comfortable, and the leg grippers are well done.
• The red pad works really well for me. I can comfortably ride for 3–4 hours, and probably longer, while still feeling well supported.

The bad:

• The "seamless" style of bibs just doesn't seem to work for me. I had another AliExpress-branded seamless bib before and didn't like that one either. When worn, it feels like I'm stuffed into a hot dog casing.
• Another issue I have with seamless construction is that the fabric doesn't seem as breathable as traditional bibs.
• They also seem to have messed up the sizing on this model. I've always ordered a Large from Cheji and the fit has been perfect. On this particular model, the leg length was noticeably longer than usual—it practically reached my kneecaps, LOL.

Overall, the quality is there, but the fit and seamless construction made it a dealbreaker for me.
