Here is a little review of all the items I bought since the start of the year.
I am 193cm and around 90kg with a somewhat muscular upper body (at least for a cyclist).
The Rating is always in relation to the price:
INBIKE Winter Thermal Bib - XL -
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005007723940936.html- 33 €. Really nice and warm and fits well. Pad ist decent. But not warm enough for riding below freezing.
- 4/5
Spexcell Rsantce Winter Thermal Fleece Jersey - XL & XXL-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005006761702729.html- 16 €. XXL was to big, XL fits well and is somewhat aero
- Nice and warm up to around +-5 Degrees with a baselayer
- 4.5/5
Rsantce Mesh Shirt - XXL-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005005991028411.html- 4 €. Absolutely love this thing when it is coldish as it is warm and really comfortably but not baggy. But no way this helps in the heat.
- 5/5
Winter Cycling Gloves - XL-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005006367785448.html- 6 €. Finger length is a bit weird. Or maybe my fingers are weird, idk. But suprisingly warm up to zero degrees.
- 4/5
Fake Maap Vest - L-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005005990967495.html- 8 €. Fits well and quite tight
- But not very practical for me as it doesnt have pockets and I rather wear a baselayer. Havent used it much.
- 3/5
RRSKIT Aero Sleeves - L/XL-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005008832538139.html- 8 €. Absolute Garbage Quality. Wouldnt even keep as a gift
- 1/5
DAREVIE Aero Sleeves - XL-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005008798239050.html- 12 €. Good quality and nice aero ribbons. But the seams at the elbows are a bit annoying.
- 4/5
DAREVIE Aero Overshoes - XL-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005007871327150.html- 15 €. Very aero and thight fitting. "Socks" are pretty long. But so far suprisingly durable and actually quite warm.
- 5/5
DAREVIE Aero Socks -
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005007875327625.html- 8 €. Great aero ribbons. Best cheap aero socks I own.
- only 4.5/5 because they are not THAT much better than the 3 Euro Aero Socks.
DAREVIE Aero Bra/Baselayer- 15 €. Quality is good and it is comfortable but I doubt it helps much undless you have extremely tight fitting sleeves.
- 3.5/5
ROCKBROS Thermal Fleece Cap-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005003533501719.html- 8 €. Was skeptical but suprisingly nice to wear. Looks a bit shit, but this is probably unavoidable with a hat like that.
- 4.5/5
DAREVIE Aero Race Fit Jersey - XL & XXL-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005008223586609.html- 26 € on a Discount. Nice an racy fit in XL. XXL was fine but a bit to loose.
- Aero Ribbons are ok, but not great. Havent found a good short sleeved aero jersey with nice aero ribbons compared to expensive western brands.
- 4/5 if on a discount
CHEJI Skinsuit, Size L-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005004436474128.html- 40 €. My best fitting and favorite Skinsuit. Pad is nice and comfy even for long rides.
- No aero sleeves, but long and tight enough.
- 5/5 for 40 Euros
ZRSE Cycling Bib Shorts - XL-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005004962411304.html- 17 €. Pad is very thick and comfy + goes really far forward as a good dick and ball-cushion. Should have bought L as XL is a bit to large.
- 4.5/5
DAREVIE Seamless Bib - 2XL-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005005057467316.html- 22 €. Pretty comfortably and good looking. Pad is not the thickest.
- 4/5
YKYWBIKE Gloves - L-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005005134561233.html- 10 €. Best gloves I tried and already my third pair thanks to crashes. Tight fitting and no anoying/weird padding. Use it more for my sweaty hands than cushion.
- 4.5/5
DAREVIE Gloves - XXL-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005005138943293.html- 6 €, Good gloves for the price if you like padding, but XXL was to big for me.
- 4/5
West Biking Gloves - XL-
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005006908134221.html- 12 €. Not a good deal for the price, but were also a bit too big for me.
- 2/5
