New to buying cycling clothes

[johnboyturbo]

Ok not be into cycling for long 6 months maybe and need to buy some clothes.

I have been told about aliexpress really cheap cycling kit on there.
N e body else got bits from there

Are they American? If so you could get horribly stung on postage and customs/import fees

Just buy dhb from Wiggle or go to decathlon

What vickster said ^ No need at all to import such items.

AFAIK the likes of Wiggle and CRC always do free returns on clothing now as well, so seeing as sizing can be a pain in the @rse this can be worth it's weight in gold.

Never heard of them.

I had to google them

Www.cycle-clothing.co.uk always have deals, as do tenn

Cheap clothing however will almost inevitably be less good. I try to buy mid priced brands when on sale, best of both worlds

Got a few things from them and really nice bits they are from china

Try it you can get the app on iphone all the sellers are from china and they take about 3 weeks to get there but look great

I've always hesitated to use them, as some of their kit is soooooo cheap I thought there must be something wrong. But if it is good enough for Vickster, it's good enough for me.

If you've bought from them, why are you asking for advice? Although it looks like your phone attacked your first post!

Only got one thing and wanted to know if n e body else had got bits from there that's all

Its tough buying when you don't know what you need and there doesn't seem to be anything out there to help you out . If it was normal clothing you would know but it isn't normal clothing .
Maybe CC could do a newbie guide to clothing for each season ? It doesn't need to be branded or factual , just what most people wear for the season to stay warm or cool . It could save people ALOT of money .

We have had about 5 set sets from Aliexpress.
All are absolutely fine apart from 1 zip and all seam to wash really well and still look new after a years usage.
If you don't mind the waiting time then there is no reason why they shouldn't be considered for cheap sets.

I tried typing ' n e body' instead of 'anybody' once but disappointingly found it took one more keystroke by the time you factored in the space bar. Never done it since. Life's too short!

Liking the top, though.
