Seamless Darevie bib shorts with no logo and decent 3-4h pad:

Similar Rion bibs with very good Dolomiti 8h pad:

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

I also got those Darevie bibs. Absolutely love them and they fir proper as per the size chart 188cm and 75kg XL is just perfect but L would also work, I just always worry about the straps too tight. In addition, these are pretty long which to me is a bonus.
I have tried one pair of the Rion, but these run short, not for me.

Have you bought and tried these items or are you just hoping to leech off referral links?

Yes, I do have 2 of 3 items. Last one is such a good deal that makes it worth the risk.

I took a sceptical punt on a pair of YKYW bibs and damn it, they're more comfortable than my Castelli Premio bibs that cost five times as much. Great pad, nice materials, and everything seems well made. I'm slightly blown away.

Thank you for the tips, guys 👍

Rule of thumb. As long as you DONT go for the absolutely FAKE branded items on there (PNS, PAS, MAAP) you will be happy with the purchase.

The PAS MAAP jerseys and cheji bibs are my go to cycling attire now. Got almost all of the PAS MAAP design short sleeve jerseys, they've been used a lot, washed a lot. The red pad in the cheji bibs are more comfortable than any of my other Albion, Le Col, Castelli bibs. The jerseys and bibs have no discoloration after numerous washes and the jersey pockets are perfect and tight to the torso.

my favourite jersey, and i've bought a LOT of jerseys on AliX (and elsewhere) is a PASMAAP jersey that's a MAAP copy. When i bought it i thought they were trolling MAAP, because PAS MAAP in French means not MAAP, and i thought it was clever. Turns out, PAS is for pas normal studios...
Either way, great jersey, and i've now worn it & washed it a LOT. It's perfect.

So, i agree with the exact opposite of your statement :)

Well no. PASMAAP are indeed GREAT jereseys BUT MAPP or PAS are definitely pas :)
I got three of the PASMAAP for my wife both short and long sleeves and she absolutely loves them ALSO they are great for small ladies (such as my wife).

Now I didnt find the red cheji bibs super comfortable. Not for long rides anyways. But everyone is different. Glad they're working for you! I'll have to try a passmaap jersey

Not that it matters, ultimately, but now you're saying your favourite items are MAAP copies, and your previous message said the opposite?

No entiendo. Donde esta la biblioteca? Me llamo T-Bone la araƱa discoteca.

How are they copies when they dont even look anything alike? Either way PASMAAP jerseys good, MAAP or PNS bad.

Most Cheji jerseys are ~$18. I have one and it's one of my best. It has most common features(breathable, YKK zipper, reinforced pockets, seamless sleeves) and one unique - reflective antislip webbing, which has no silicone inside, but it does it's job.

I've ordered a pair of YKYW bibs and been very impressed. They feel higher quality then some bibs I've paid 4 times as much for. Any recommendations for stiff xc shoes as the carbon soles on my Northwave extreme XC2 pair are starting to crack?

Unfortunately some of the chinese brands are not for taller and bigger people.
I havent tried Cheji yet as they dont even list my heigth as possible in their specifications.
Spexcel also tends to be too small. But some items fit just perfect.

I love the light blue jersey which fits just perfect and feels quite nice.

All the other Spexcel clothes i tried didnt fit at all.
