Chinese cycling clothes

What're favourites here when it comes to china bib shorts?

I was elsewhere hearing about Rion and YKYWBike - is that also getting praise here or rather something else?

Can't speak for them all but I have YKYW with EI-pad which has a good pad but I don't love the lycra. I think they're bought in 2024 though so might be better now. Also I like the Cheji red pad (their cheap one) but I only have winter bibs from them so can't speak on their lycra for summer bibs either. Similar with a pair of Darevie seamless, the chamois is quite good but thin lycra.

Honestly I could live without premium bibs chamois-wise, but my "cheap" Assos have lycra a thousand times better than any Aliexpress-bibs I've ever had.

I really like my Darevie bibs.
I have one with an EI pad and one with their in-house pad. I like both.
The Lycra is quite thick and supports well. The leg openings are as flexible as the rest and so not cut into the thigh.

A note: the HISERWA bibs look the same on the images. But are really not the same. Basic EI pad and very thin Lycra.

Darevie with the ei pads, they are very well made and priced.

Have 3 pairs of YKYW bought last year. My go to bibs. Comfy for 5 hours.

Thanks folks!

@james7 @shoushou - do you have a YKYW or RION as well to directly compare with?

I do have a Rion.
The Dolomiti pad is a bit thin and the Lycra is a bit too soft. At least the leg bands are not too tight.

The YKYW that I have has a nice pad that is well placed in the bib. The Lycra is nice, similar support to the Darevie, I’d say
The leg bands are a bit tight for me.
I do have thick legs though.

Can someone recommend some good long sleeve jersey? Autumn is coming
Not a thick/winter one. A thin one which I could combine with a vest.

This one from inbike is excellent. best fit jersey I own and it's not even close. IF you can look past the insanely cheesy slogans

This one in particular though. I have another long sleeve summer from inbike (rabbit design) and the fit is awful. fabric is also worse

This is my favorite combo with a vest:

The sleeves are LONG though. I have no idea where to put all that fabric.

Or is this when I realize I have really short arms?

I didn't even catch most of these for a while. I promise it looks good from a distance lol
Most chinese stuff is plagued with this garbage, but this one has such a perfect cut it will always be top of the pile regardless

I've been on the western-brand sale hunt for the past weeks, and it's not just the Chinese brands honestly.

And obviously PNS who I guess is the influence for random cool words and phrases.

Even Assos does a random poem on the back, besides just trying to copy MAAP.

Santini/Castelli/Rapha and some others are keeping it real with boring ass jerseys.

Fair enough, a well fitting jersey / bib is worth its weight in gold. Gotta own it
