I wasn't familiar with HISERWA, but from the reviews they seem to be good products. I saw these two vests, and they're under €20, so they might be a bargain:

The first one also has a zip that opens from the bottom, super convenient when you're going uphill, I'm super curious to try it

I have this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008082632519.html in Asian Sizes-L
188cm and 77kg. Love it. Great race cut fit and has perforated back so it breaths a bit and its not just a plastic sack. Packs real small and the dual zipper is an AMAZING idea for these.

Sticking to well-known brands, this one should be for you https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005009131311699.html

Hi, thanks for the reply. I already own that YKYWBIKE vest and it's a great product, but I'm looking for something with long sleeves

I think that's the model I have, for which I paid 14 euro last year. I'm happy with it. Good list of features, fits well enough, really can't fault it for what I want it to do.

Doesn't look bad! I had also seen another jacket from RION

Hey guys! Has anyone tried these shoe covers yet? https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005010255556243.html?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I have and I like them.

They are definitely an aero shoe cover for time trialling rather than something to keep your feet warm and dry on a winter ride but for that use they are excellent, especially for the price. They come up pretty high (so would be non UCI) but that helps because they sit well above the widest part of my calf and don't slip down at all. The rubber shoe cover section looks as robust as these sort of things ever are, so should get a season or twos worth of use out of them (as long as you are careful putting on and do zero walking in them etc).

I rate them as better than the RRSkit version which I also have.

How about commuting clothes?  So like gravel type things or MTB like a poster previously inquired of...

+1 on them being good

I do enjoy them for what at least where I live is mid season. Evenings can be chilly and colder days my toes get cold easily, and the foot part is wind stopping so it's essentially like having toe covers.

But the true purpose is TT or racing.

Yes my goal was to use them in the race, no tt in sight (for now only ahaha) because I've seen them even shorter (and more expensive) https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005012101189244.html but I have no intention of following UCI rules so it's fine ahaha

They didn't come up so far on my calves. UCI legal I dunno - maybe a smidgeon too far up, but stayed there without the use of hairspray or glue stick. I have two pairs, one in white and one in black. They seem quite robust. Ideal for spring races. Maybe a tad warm later in the season. Great for keeping your feet warm in training (I would normally save this kind of product for races, but these are cheap and as mentioned pretty robust so have actually taken them to some club rides as well as solo rides). Highly recommended. I chose these over my Rule28 overshoes for a race last sunday ...

Any good recommendations for leg warmers? I'm looking for something to wear when it's too hot for thermal bib tights but not warm enough for bib shorts on their own. So I'd say something between 10-15°C. It seems that there are loads of options ranging from around 6 € to over 20 €. Is there any real difference between cheap and more expensive options? Firm grip ath the top to prevent them from slippung down tje leg is a must, the less visible branding the better and some level of windproofing is a plus mut not mandatory. Thanks for your input!

I've personally used Hiserwa leg warmers and found them to work fine.

I used these last winter and from 0°C up they work very well https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005010255633849.html

For 10+ degrees I have these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010252870820.html.
They are not very warm, but warm enough. I have some Santini full leg warmers for when it's colder

Do you have recommendations for (aero) socks that are available for large feet? I wear shimano EU47 (foot length about 30cm)

I think I have seen a lot for smaller feet, but not really one for my size.

I've had these for over a year https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005007073219603.html I've already worn them a bunch of times and even bought a couple more just in case.

Even though they say 45 as the size, they're actually one size (I also have 30cm feet). I usually wear 46 or 47.

Agree, I have the same. All the socks stretch good!
