In YKYWBike chamois pad hierarchy, I'm assuming it goes something like

Paris > Italy > Belgium? Probably will try a pair of their high end bib shorts at some point. Some listings are advertised as "Italy Padding" and rated for 7 hours, while the Paris HP seems consistently the best (and most expensive). Has anyone tried the Paris HP?

I have recently tried the Paris HP women and it's better or on par from the known brands I had so far. Perfectly padded and just the right size for me. I opted for the droptail bibs and the mechanism is good.
Look out for a store coupon and stack it with other coupons and you can get them under 50, which is really reasonable.

Hi everyone,
over the past few months I've been working on a project to create my own aerodynamic gravel race suit. This week I received the first 7 samples – featuring a fully custom design and special details like an integrated hydration bladder. If there's interest, I'd be happy to start a dedicated thread about it.

Could you share a link to this? My wife would be interested in checking this out.

For some reason I'm visualizing this as looking like an Arrakis still suit.

Haha, I actually had to google what you meant first – now I get it!
Whether the comparison to an Arrakis stillsuit really fits, we can let the community decide in a separate thread

Anyone have long sleeve jerseys and bib suggestions for a tall person (6'3", 37" sleeve). I have a pair of ykwbike bibs and while I like the quality I wish the straps were a bit longer.

If this is the one and only concern, the straps can be made longer with some elastic band. That's for sure not an expensive task.

As a tall guy myself, I would advice you to have a look at Specxel. Their bib shorts (size L) are modern "pro" fit just above the knees. Also their jerseys are quit good.

Just ordered some Slopline jerseys and DAREVIE bibs to try out. The Slopline jerseys have fun patterns. Darevie seems to be more established.

Did anyone had the chance to compare the ykywbike/darevie to cheji ? I want to buy a second jib but I dont know which to pick ^^
ykywbike seems to have a larger range of models

YKYWBike is really nice, follow their sizing chart and you'll have a very decent bib for real cheap. Bought three pairs in 2023 and still using them now.

I have a darevie jersey, amazing quality, I recommend it to some friends. Very well built

I prefer the Cheji bibs to the ykywbike ones I've also got and think they're worth the slight increase in price.

Just got my first pair of Darevie DV105 bib shorts - took a punt, didn't know what to expect.

Well, consider me a convert! Blown away by the overall quality, and the performance of the shorts for the price is a joke.

I usually wear Rapha Core or LeCol Pro shorts, but LeCol prices are getting out of hand so wanted to give a cheaper set a try.
Sizewise, I had to go up one size to my normal (normally a large and went for XL on these and the fit is excellent).

The elastic interface chamois is very supportive - although only back from my first 90 minute ride, I can tell already just how good this is. No discomfort and I can actually feel the support of the pad - no complaints at all.
The fabric is lovely and smooth - the decals are a nice touch for my taste, not too overpowering.
The legs are quite long which I love and the silicone grippers are incredibly sticky - which makes it a bit more work getting on, but feel great once in place.
Lastly, the front is quite flexible which is fantastic, as it makes comfort breaks so much easier!

Overall, I am so happy that I took a chance on these - ive just ordered 2 more pairs. With discounts, that came to £32.50 a pair, which is absolutely amazing.

I'm looking for jacket for cycling that will be good on temperatures about 5-10 Celsius.
Have you any tested?
