Has anyone found unpadded cycling gloves? Something that doesn't scream branding would be nice

Yes. I've had some for a month but was waiting to receive more stuff so I can bulk review instead of just one.

They fit remarkably well unlike the giro monaco gloves I used to have that managed the impressive feat of being too short on the palm but too roomy for the finger joints. I got them for UVs and padding but realized it had no padding when I got them, but I still think it helps a little bit for my broken wrist. No loose threads, great fit (for me at least) and I didn't get sunburnt. Just wish they had a tiny bit more padding but I like them

The branding is nondescript and unobtrusive. Full finger, thin fabric with a little stretch, very minimal padding. No velcro closure is even better. Extremely comfortable, and I've been using them a lot for 6 months with no signs of wear or failure. I was so happy with the first pair that I bought 3 more pairs to use later. - I typically wear a size large Giro or Dakine glove (US size) and size large fits me perfectly.

I have 2 of these cheji bibs with the red pad and they're awesome so i'll be getting another color.

They've raised the price at the moment but was told there's a promo on the 9th so we'll see.

I recieved and just tested this Cheji bibs:

The best bibs I have so far. Looks like genuine elastic interface pad with all the markings nad additional tags attached to the bibs. NIce and smooth material. Defiinetly recomend it.

EDIT: Now I see the price went up. I paid like 60 USD.

any recommendation with size? I am 185/75 and with the provided sizing right in between L and XL. I really do not like loose and neither too tight bibs

I’m 179/75 and use a L. Got muscly thighs but they fit well. Haven’t thought of them being too tight.

I'm 187cm/85kg an I also prefer L. XL was too loose for me, given I don't have the thickest thighs. If you got thinner thighs, you might want to even consider trying an M.
Slow on the climb. And everywhere else.

Hi everyone,
thanks for the great discussion – you’re all awesome!

I’m currently testing a pair of bib shorts from Inbike and another from Darvevie, and I’d be happy to share my thoughts on them soon. I also ordered one from Cheji (with the red pad) based on your recommendations – it’s on the way.

Right now, my favorite cycling item from AliExpress has to be the aero socks from Darevie – highly recommended!

Something I’ve noticed lately is that many brands are using the Italian chamois from Elastic Interface. I find it really interesting that so many well-known manufacturers rely on the same pad. What are your thoughts on this?

Finally got to take the YKYWB bibs and Inbike jersey out for a spin. Bibs are pretty good. The wide shoulder straps are very comfy as is the chamois. The legs don't fit super tight which is nice, but if they get loose with time they will be flapping in the wind.
Inbike jersey is nice and fits well but is fairly thick. I sweated a ton and the jersey seems to soak it up and hold it rather than wick it away.

Seamless Darevie bib shorts with no logo and decent 3-4h pad:
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EHHbNj4

Similar Rion bibs with very good Dolomiti 8h pad:
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EzhAatc


They do have logos at the back, but it gets hidden under jersey.
