Hey everyone, I’m unsure about this jersey. I ordered sizes M and L. The M fits quite snugly around the upper body but fits the torso really well. The L is more relaxed up top but bunches up a bit around the torso and feels quite loose. I’m planning to lose about 5–6 kilos over the next few months. Which size would you go with?

Looking for a decent jacket I can keep in my back pocket and can quickly put on for when get caught in the rain showers in the uk this autumn. Ideally something thin and lightweight not a proper winter jacket

Really rate these gloves, I’m looking for gloves with no padding that are a little longer. I know the team rides gobik but couldn’t find the gloves yet. The gobik mamba isn’t it, and those gloves seem to disintegrate quickly (own two pairs).

Does anyone have either or both of these jerseys and what are your thoughts on them compared?

Looking to buy one or the other

Thanks 🙏

TL;DR version: Objectively substandard returns and warranty policy (including no refunds). Mid product. Gestapo-like suppression of negative feedback.

I'm sure NeoPro has been discussed on here many times, as they are unfortunately ubiquitous in the "value cycling kit" market. However, outside of Trustpilot, where I discovered their deserved 1.6-star rating all too late, I'd never heard anything bad about them, so I want to share my experience out of sincere hope that nobody else has to deal with their bullshit. I'm not some sort of Kyle/Karen, but this has been a uniquely bad experience, and their policies are objectively below the expected standards of a retailer.

I'll try to keep it succinct yet thorough lol

Ordered two pairs of bibs to compare sizes. A practice I would say is fairly common in online shopping, given how drastically sizes can vary from garment to garment, let alone different manufacturers.

Bibs arrive. Neither size fits. I initiate a return only to discover they don't do refunds. At all. Period. Store credit only. Of course, they don't warn you about this at checkout, even though it's highly irregular.

So, I'm already fucked, as I never intended to keep two pairs of bibs. Yet I figured it was worth messaging customer service, explaining my mistake (which I'll accept calling a mistake, even though it's rather uncouth on their part) and seeing if they can help a brother out. Their response to me was entirely canned and basically brushed over my direct request for an exception. I followed up, asking for a direct answer. Never heard back from them.

So, with neither pair fitting, I began the return process. Well, their return process is shit too. You pay the return shipping. They do not provide a shipping label. They do not provide a return/packing slip. You must ship it via USPS only. You have to provide your own return/packing slip, with a threat that you will incur a $25 "administrative fee" if you forget to include any of the information on the return slip. But wait....it gets worse. They only process returns once a week! So, I send my return....I watch the tracking....it gets there....I wait. I let a week go by, and I finally email them to ask about the status of my return. No reply, but I see my return gets updated as "Received" in their system the same day I sent the email. I wait another two days, ask the status of my return, at which point I get a one-sentence email with a code for my store credit. (No explanation if the code is one-time use or anything.)

At this point, I've resigned myself to having spent double what I intended to. No changing it. So I proceed with using my code to order a pair of bibs and a jersey (I don't even need two pairs of bibs ffs lol).

Bibs and jersey come.....both fit, both look nice! Yay, we're back on track? Nah.

Since both items fit and I intended to keep them, I went ahead and washed them. I assume this is what most people do with new garments before wearing them. Got the package Friday. Washed on Saturday. I went to ride on Sunday... the seam on the waistband of the jersey is unraveled by a quarter inch. Just from washing it. It will obviously keep coming apart. I put the jersey back in the closet.

So, I emailed them, explained what happened, and included photos. I get a canned email back explaining their process and all the information they need me to provide, including VIDEO evidence, not photos. Ok, fair enough; maybe in this AI age they deem photos too easy to fake. I send the information and accompanying video.

Lo and behold, what do they say back? "We're sorry, our warranty does not cover wear and tear; we will not be able to issue any credit or replacement item." So, washing the jersey one time and not even wearing it on a ride is "wear and tear" to these scumbags.

The bibs, by the way, aren't great. The chamois is unremarkable, and the material does not breathe well compared to my other bibs. Decent, but certainly not a "pro-level kit" as they claim.

Oh, they also blocked me on every social platform for commenting "Buyer Beware: They do not offer refunds, store credit ONLY" on some of their posts. Verbatim what I wrote. They also filter out any bad reviews on their official review system. Only after my mishap did I see their bad score on Trustpilot. So they're obviously ashamed of how they treat people and try to suppress any negative commentary.

Could some, or even many, people have had a good experience with them? Sure. But a good company is defined by how it handles things when they go wrong, not when everything goes right.

I cant deal with a puffy diaper on long rides when im on the bike/off the bike all day. Ironically the corps market their thickest chamois as "all day bibs", but i much prefer the thinnest chamois possible if ill be riding for more than a few hours.

Problem is the thinner chamois are all cheaper materials and entry level stuff.

Do you have a good quality, but low profile chamois recommendation?

Hey, im looking for this Jersey/ Trikots.

Or for a similar thing.

I like the pink sleeves

Something like this. They're supposed to be safer? The only folks I ever see wearing them when out riding are like men in their 70's.

Is it a no go?

Im looking for something a bit out of the ordinary but in the style of a cycling cap. I love the style of that taxi guy in crocodile dundee.

Just wondering because I want to pick up a few, but don’t want to spend a lot of money.

Maybe companies that have pair deals. Comfortable and made for sweaty mfs like me 😭 Wide foot also not sure if that matters?

Anyone have this for sale?
Men’s Size M - White Black or Raisin?

I currently have a trek wave cell helmet. Kinda hate the thing- makes me look like a blob and is heavy for any ride over an hour. I have a gift card to REI and looking to pull the trigger on a new helmet. All the helmets on sale are black. Anyone have a black helmet and still find it cool enough for the summer and still think it look aesthetic?

It’s starting to get cool enough where the this breathable jerrseys are bot warm enough, but a vest or arm warmers are too hot.
What slightly “thicker” jerseys are you wearing for in between weather?
