Chinese cycling clothes

Anyone have luck with a good set of cargo bibs?
I dislike my Spexcel pair for longer rides.

Thanks, but their size chart goes only to 185cm. I'm 2m...

Cheji seem to be tall person friendly. I'm 190cm and have 3 of their skinsuits in large and a pair of long bibs in xl. They go up to xxxl so may cater for you, Shaq.

I'm the same height, can I ask what's your weight and how well the XL and the L fits you? Thanks!

I have a pair of Cheji bib shorts, and it has the shortest legs of all my bib shorts. So short that I only use that pair on the indoor trainer.

No probs. I'm 80kg and 92cm inseam, I prefer the fit of the large skinsuit but the material is really stretchy. I got xl for the long bibs because I never really know how stretchy the straps will be or how long the legs will be. I reckon large would've been fine because the straps are really stretchy and leg length is fine.

I am 187 with 87.5 inseam and find cheji bibshorts length perfectly. In size XL they are longer then my assos in the same size. On the longer side I own L size spexcel bib shorts and they are almost touching the knee.

Attached few photos from what I've found in the gallery so you can see the difference

How would you rate the Cheji bibs compared to Spexcel and Assos?

Assos has the best pad. Spexcel has a good one and cheji is a little better. When it comes to looks and material quality I think spexcel look the best. They are looking better then most Instagram boutique brands.I wasn't using spexcel or cheji for anything very long. For long half day/all-day efforts I don't wanna risk and use assos or the best bib I've ever used from Danielo (small polish brand that quietly makes clothes for most world tour pro teams - you just don't see their logo in the tv as the teams are buying it from them as oppose to other brands who are paying teams to wear their logo).

I'm very impressed by the bib shorts with pockets from Inbike:

Currently $26 USD but I bought them for $20 USD a couple weeks ago

I bought these as there are not many options for budget bib shorts with pockets (I tried some from Kemaloce and they were absolutely dreadful, straight in the bin).

These Inbike ones are great - lycra is good quality, straps are decent, pockets are a good size and the pad seems impressive but have only done a 2-hour ride so far.

Also quite interestingly, the tag has a contact for Lameda cycling on it - so I can only assume that it's made by Lameda or perhaps there's some relationship between the brands? Some of the Lameda stuff on AliExpress looks great but the amount of options makes it hard to figure out which one to try.

While some of the bibs I bought on Ali have decent pads and straps, none of them have Lycra with enough compression for my taste. I’ve found them all to be too flexy. My favourite bibs are Castelli which seem to feel much tighter and more compressive. If I downsize Chinese bibs, the legs will get too short though. Can someone recommend something? I’ve bought Spexcel, Darevie and Cheji. I like Cheji best but it could still be better.

[raisinberry777]

Best compression in bibs I've found so far has been from Swiftofo. Can't say I've had any Castelli bibs so I don't know how it compares to those but it feels like a similar level of compression to what I've experienced in other western brands (e.g. Sportful)

The brown spexcels I got (size L) are pretty good at this. Cheji (XL) not bad either. But if you want best bibs money can get with world class compression get one of this

They make clothes for most world tour teams. You just don't see the logo as the teams are paying for the clothes not the other way around. Never had better bibs. Everyone says assos is a gold standard, but those are level above.

I have a thermal jersey.  It's very racy indeed.  That's what I wanted The fabric and sewing quality are very good.

Did someone try Inbike? They do look very nice in the photos. 
I am very tempted by that design in light blue/ green
