Chinese cycling clothes

[BikerJens]

Long shot, cause why would Chinese brands make something that is hard for me to find in Europe size wise: Have anyone come across a long sleeved jersey with +70 cm sleeves? I'm interested in normal jerseys, thermal etc.

Just to make the quest harder - it would be nice if it's slim/aero'ish fitting. I'm 200 cm tall with a long torso.. 84 kg heavy.

not that I'd know but you give it a shot at some custom jersey manufacturer like tarstone and qiyi clothing maybe they can help you

Thank you. Seems like Tarstone only do custom regarding the print/colours (they have a size guide) and Qiyi have a MOQ of 10. Even though I really want some jersey that fits, it might be a overkill

In 6 years of my cycling journey I have tried dozens of clothing pieces but never got lucky with chinese jerseys. It maybe shitty material, sleeves that are too short, body part that is too long or short, lower half that is too relaxed... or shoulders that are flapping in the wind... or pockets that are too high SOMETHING IS ALWAYS OFF.

Eventually I gave up and start buying western race fit jerseys which always provide perfect or nearly perfect fit. Maybe I am too demanding but I (almost) never got issues with chinese bib shorts.

I don’t know from where you’d measure. But I have a Darevie longsleeve (summer) that is 70
Cm from collar to hem.
Fits areo on me. I’m 192cm and 82kg.

It's from the top of the shoulder. Where the sleeve starts

Asian XL?

Anyone tried any good rain jacket clothes?

Found this one from Darevie: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001638415274.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.2.5ca81f7emPs0vN&algo_pvid=3eaa3bd1-6170-400c-bf3f-12758296c21e&algo_exp_id=3eaa3bd1-6170-400c-bf3f-12758296c21e-1&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22order%22%3A%22192%22%2C%22eval%22%3A%221%22%2C%22fromPage%22%3A%22search%22%7D&pdp_npi=6%40dis%21CAD%2163.08%2155.17%21%21%21315.08%21275.57%21%40210318c317594804428925645e5fbd%2112000016950873304%21sea%21CA%214421031649%21X%211%210%21n_tag%3A-29919%3Bd%3Ae467501e%3Bm03_new_user%3A-29895%3BpisId%3A5000000188185369&curPageLogUid=lFd4mDf4JmxC&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A%7Cx_object_id%3A1005001638415274%7C_p_origin_prod%3A

My buddy has that bright darevie jacket and loves it.  Its very warm and pretty good at keeping you dry in misty conditions.    It is a strange purple/greyish color in person and eye bleedingly reflective bright when the lights it just right.   The most extreme ride we've done together that i recall him wearing that jacket on was a century ride last winter. We left out before dawn on a very foggy and misty morning with the temperature just below freezing.  Once it got light enough outside we realized we both had a coating of ice on our gear.  He remained comfortable the entire ride with the jacket and his thermal kit, even having to shed it once it got sunny and about 50f degrees.

Perfect, thanks for the feedback!

That made me laugh.

At least Darevie is honest about the fabric.
This kind of fully reflecting fabric is really easy to be damaged.
I've made this experience with 2 different pairs of shoes from different companies which had a fully reflective surface.  Just by riding the fabric itself became ugly unamazingly fast.

I guess a shower with pure water would be absolutely okay.
Of course it's a valid question if I would like to have such a material as jacket... well.. for me I would answer that with a no.

Demanding for a jacket to not be exposed to sunlight is just ridiculous. Rain jacket or not, this basically translates to: Do not wear outside.

That's not correct. Although I agree that the fabric is not a good choice, what you interprete is not correct.
 For a rain jacket: if sun is shining...why should i wear it?
It will not die when worn in rain, but hanging around in full summer sun seems to be not the best treatment. UV is quite destructive. They don't say don't use it outside. They say don't grill it in sun.. there's a difference..
