sponeedMen's Cycling Jersey and Bib Short Suit Bicycle Wear Padded Bike Tights

I purchased this product After I had paid around $100 for some "Specialized" bottom bibs from my local bike shop. I had a 80km ride that day and needed something in the moment.When I got home I immediately went to Amazon to compare prices and see if I could find a better deal on some riding gear. Full disclosure, I bike somewhere between 100-150km a week. I would consider myself an amateur level rider and ride a Scott Speedster 20. The seat is stock and I experience pain the groin/buttox region.There is one major difference between this "Sponeed" brand and the higher price point "Specialized" brand when it comes IMHO. Both are elastic and comfortable. Both are tight fitting and conforming to the body. The big difference is in the padding. You will pay twice as much for the Specialized bibs and you will Sponeed. The extra price comes with more padding in the Specialized bibs and you can feel it. Some people may find it uncomfortable initially but when you are in the saddle for 100km, you will be glad. I don't wear my bibs to be comfortable when I walk, I wear them for the saddle.I gave this Sponeed suit 4 stars. The Price is great. Especially for a weekend rider who wants to go out for a 40-60km ride with some friends and have fun. I left one star off because there is room for improvement on the level of padding and that just comes from my own personal preference. If you like the feel of (excuse me) less padding between your groin you may find this a perfect purchase.As far as quality and stitching I have not experienced a problem with the suit yet on three 60km rides. I always hand dry my suits and sometimes just hand wash them in the shower after a ride. Throwing your gear in the washer with your jeans on heavy load may shorten the life of your suit.Price: 5 Stars (You won't find a suit much cheaper than this)Quality: 5 Stars (No problems yet, although I do tend to sometimes hand wash and always hang dry my suits)Overall: 4 Stars (The improved padding of high price point bibs brought this purchase down to 4 stars for me. However that shouldn't deter you from purchasing this suit that comes in a 1/3 of the price. For the weekend warrior or the entry/amateur level rider this is a great purchase to get into riding more comfortably without spending hundreds more on gear)Hope this helps.

This is my favorite riding outfit. It is my first usage of the overall/bib type pants. They stay up with no slouching or slippage down the leg. Never have to worry about the padding not being in the right place. And the design is frankly cool and looks awesome on. Highly recommend this riding ensemble. Can't go wrong.

Bibs: My only basis of comparison is a pair of Pearl Elite's that I've had for several years. Not a fair comparison at a retail of over $150, but here goes: The sponeed version is a bit lighter; not quite as smooth panel construction but still comfortable; a bit less padding, which some will prefer but for me means this is better for short and mid-range rides (although I do like the extra room for the goods up front, if you know what I mean); good silicone grips around the leg. In other words, a small step down at a fraction of the price. And a great bonus: I didn't expect anything from the claim of bacteria and odor-fighting fabric, but there is definitely less smell after a ride, at least to this point. Very handy for commutes. Only criticism is probably due to the way I'm built: the shorts go further down my leg, almost to my knee, which rubs against the tendons in the back of my knee--also, easy fix: just hike the pants up a bit and the silicone keeps them in place.Jersey: Again, full featured: extra long, good silicone grips, breathes well. Perhaps this is purposeful, but I don't have another jersey on which the pockets are a little off to one side (my left side). The middle pocket is better reached with my left arm. Like the shorts, the jersey arms are longer than I'm used to (about 2/3 way down my elbow), and has a small collar that I find unnecessary and flaps a bit in a cross-wind when zipped half-way down or more. This jersey's full zip is a lightweight and comfortable plastic, which works fairly smoothly, but has me wondering a bit how long it will hold up. Just like the bib shorts, the jersey has amazing features at this price.Would absolutely buy again. In fact, plan to provided the early experience lasts the rest of the season.Sizing: follow guide, which worked well for me: Chinese Large, US Medium at 5' 9" and 165lbs.

I recently purchased the Sponeed shorts/jersey kit and was so pleased that I decided to order this bib/jersey version. I just received the bib/jersey kit and they fit just as good! I also own several Pearl Izumi bib/jersey kits that I've been using for several years. I don't know if these will last as long, but at 1/2 or 1/3 the price of what I paid for the Izumis, I'll take my chances.For reference, I'm 6'4", 220 lbs. I wear a 44XL suit (with 38" pants). I ordered the Asia XXXL based on the sizing chart and these fit me perfect. Not too loose and not too tight! :-)For what it's worth, when I ordered the Sponeed shorts/jersey kit, I also ordered the X-TIGER Men's Cycling bib/jersey set. The X-TIGER look/feel about the same, but they don't fit the same. I ordered Asia XXXL as well, and the bibs were way too tight at the thighs/knees. Not sure how to explain it, but it was like the leg opening was just too small. They have built in elastic, but it was still way to tight, for me anyway. And I would consider myself "average" build.I'm in the process of ordering me another one of these Sponeed bib/jersey kits in a different color combo.Hope this was helpful.

Liked the product. Great Quality and value.
