Review on 🚴 Road Bike Cycling Jerseys Set for Men - Short Sleeve Cycling Kits with Bib Shorts and 3D Padded by Matthew Henderson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Mixed set but not bad overall

Now that I've spent about 12-15 hours on this set I feel like I'm finally ready to review it. First, compliance. This will be the biggest problem for most. I'm 5ft 9in, 220lbs and took the XXL as the bibs seem small according to their fit chart. The bibs fit pretty well. On the other hand, the shirt is a bit big. Since I carry most of the weight in my torso this actually worked well, but if you have more normal proportions the jersey feels somewhere from half to full size. The handles on both legs and sleeves are firmer and hardly stretch like the rest of the clothing. I have no problems with transparency. They look soft. Overall, they feel on par with shirts and jerseys that cost the same for just one piece. I'm concerned about the seams and their durability. First, it's not a flat lock, so it may dig a bit. Second, this seems to be the most sketchy piece. However, if they only hold an Asons or two for that price, it's not the end of the world at that price point. Finally, how convenient is it to ride a bike. I know this is largely personal, but here's my impression. My favorite bibs are the 1st Generation Castelli Body Art Shorts. Well, I'm not trying to say they're comparable, but they're remarkably close compared to their price - Castelli's are almost five times more expensive than just bibs. They don't have the all day comfort but they are definitely the second most comfortable pair I own. They have just the right amount of padding. The biggest problem is that the pad resets itself while riding, which requires some adjustment. If the main pad section continued forward 0.5-0.75 inches, it wouldn't be an issue (at least for my sit bones). Overall I am very happy with them and have received more compliments on them than any other. Sentence. They are not without flaws, but their price far exceeds their price.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
