for a thin long sleeve, I like this SPEXCEL one. I got the purple in L for a tight aero fit (186 cm, 80 kg). The arms are long enough. Could have also gone with the XL.

Just ordered purple in XL (185,85) and hope it fits how I like it.

But this a race with 3000M of climbing and had really painful moments a the end
Tried YKY Elastic interface too, not really good :(

So you are not even considering checking the points....
Next time you don't want help but just complain..
Mark it clearly, so nobody will waste time

I hand wash my cycling clothes so my washing machine doesn't really affect them but thanks for the tips.

How long were you actually riding? Couple weeks ago I did Stelvio from two sides, which ended up with 3600m of climbing and around 5-6h on the bike. I was perfectly happy, as I always am, with Spexcel bibs.

Can anyone recommend rain shoe covers? I have heavy duty rubber covers that work great for really rainy days, but I need something for a light shower or road splash getting into the shoes. So far anything I tried has a horrible fit on my half, too wide. My issue is I need a narrow (skinny calf) opening. Everything I try just slips right off.
I need something like this www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012837876533.html but when I get the right size for my 45 shoe size, it automatically goes to XL and its way too wide.

The nero show just released a bib short rating video with some chinese brands and western brands included. Pretty interesting to get someone's opinion who can compare many brands to eachother

Not original boa but similar I have sidebike and santic shoes, both are very good imo - santic is quite expensive and only worth buying if you get a really good deal.

I am on a hunt for 3/4 bbs with cargo pockets.
Any good suggestion?
Best would be with elasticInterface seatpad.

I have a pair of Sidebike shoes. Having great luck with them. The A-Top dials work well. I did have to strip the plastic coating from the wires as they were starting to wear and would get jammed in the dial. I did purchase replacement wires, but don't want to deal with replacing them yet. Not that it's hard or anything. It's working fine with the plastic stripped off. Other than that the soles are stiff. The shoes are comfy. I like them. I'm sure you can find them in white. Mine a greenish gold.

I get on really well with Cheji bibs but their prices have shot up recently. They're still cheap compared to western brands but these cost me £13.53 in May.

I already had my eyes on these but hesitated as I was not sure about the padding form. Neither red one or the black one. How is the padding? I see you choose the red one.

I've only used them a couple of times as the weather hasn't really turned here yet but it feels fine. It's not as good for me as the green Dolomiti pads in my other Cheji bibs but I didn't think/notice the difference during a 2.5 hour ride.

I got side bike with carbon sole for over a year now and happy with it.
