I tried ordering Santic 3/4 lenght shorts. 
This 3/4 lenght is kinda rare, and i actually like my knees covered just like my running compession shorts.

Santic has few lines of 3/4 lenght shorts, n bought 2 from '5-6hrs ride rating'.
the compression strenght is good. The lenght does go under knee cap, but not quite to upper calf.
but pay attention to sizing chart, as they may advertise as Asian size scale. im asian n i usually wear M, n the sizing is tad tight(butnot quite S).

happy with the red pad that comes with some cheji bibs. don't know if it has gel or not. my ekoi bibs apparently have gel, feel pretty similar to me.

I bought this after your recommendation and rode it yesterday. I agree its the best I got from china so far. The design is not so great imho with the logo on the chest and a white stripe in the middle of the back. But the tissue, fit and overall quality is just very good. I bought size L while usually on European M. Thanks for the hint!

Got 2 of these delivered today. Kind of annoyed that the design doesn't match the picture on the seller page but I'll live with it. One of them (blue color) fits great. The other one (red) fits similar in the body but has much looser sleeves for some reason. Both are size L.

I've returned probably a dozen jerseys from AliX this season. If something doesnt match the description and you're unhappy with it, return it. Eventually they will learn to not post dog $hit on the site. I've bought (and kept) probably 5 Raudax jerseys, but even these are kind of unreliable in the sense that you think you're buying one type of fabric and you receive something else.
What is clear is that you can get a great jersey for 12 dollars, shipping included. but it's hit and miss. the margins on western bike clothing are literally insane.
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

I was looking at the recommended Raudax top and saw a great price https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007101108645.html?af=2454844&cn=50110&cv=1&dp=je6NUbpObpQ-vT4csM5lz7E1kJ8QwIGXNA&LSNSUBSITE=Omitted_je6NUbpObpQ&aff_fcid=ba80024d1976409a94721fd4f00f053d-1725206913185-05889-_DmYcslv&tt=CPS_NORMAL&aff_fsk=_DmYcslv&aff_platform=portals-tool&sk=_DmYcslv&aff_trace_key=ba80024d1976409a94721fd4f00f053d-1725206913185-05889-_DmYcslv&terminal_id=7c2b0fae595e473f883ef7a57b6efed2&afSmartRedirect=y the price shown was around £6.89 GBP - wasnt paying too much attention so it may have been a little less - I just noted it was a great price.

But when I logged in to my Ali Express account the price changed to £10.99 GBP -any suggestion to why that happened?

I'm sure I didn't imagine the lower price & it wasn't the usual AE seller routine where they have a cheaper lower spec item to display an attractive price to get you to click.

I think Ali gives brand new customers a "welcome deal" that lowers the price but it's only for your first purchase on the platform or something. It's dumb

Yep dumb & frustrating

Interesting that would work - wish I'd spotted it on my recent order for a pair of Elitewheels - that kind of % saving would've been worth the hassle. But for a few £s I wouldn't be bothered tbh - I'll just be pissed off instead  ;D

Does anyone have experience with this linked cycling jersey from the manufacturer YKYW-Bike?

I'm also looking for road bike jerseys that are a little wider cut, i.e. not aero fit.

They're nice jerseys, but they're a pretty aero cut.

I have a thermal jersey.  It's very racy indeed.  That's what I wanted ;D The fabric and sewing quality are very good.

Did someone try Inbike? They do look very nice in the photos. 
I am very tempted by that design in light blue/ green

Grabbed these YKYW bibs at the suggestion of a few other members.  They arrived today so I went for 90 minute tempo ride as soon as I pulled them out of the package.

Initial impressions are that these are very good especially for the price.  The stitching and straps are very nice and the chamois is very comfortable.
