Just ordered another couple of Spexcel jerseys, seeing as I am perfectly happy with the stuff I've bought from them so far. Whatever their premium models cost is the most you should ever pay for a synthetic short sleeve jersey.

But I've never bought bibs off AliExpress. It would be great to find something with relatively thin padding for my 1 - 2 hour evening spins, something I'll just chuck it straight into the laundry after just that one hour use.
Anyone?

I recently bought their ~$20 bibs, which seem fine after two ~4 hour rides. The pad is pretty thick though.

Yeah... that's what I am thinking. The general trick seems to be putting overly plush pads into cheap bibs, so as to kind of hide imperfections/lack of finesse.
A bit like how Starbucks just roast the hell out of their beans to cover up a poor raw material.
