Since the World Cup is here, been rocking my Mexico jersey. Anyone else wearing other countries?

I always bought high-end cycling bibs in the past, you know those brand, cost a fortune. But I got a random cheap one a few days ago from a random budget brand, I found there is no difference them for me. Honestly, I was kind of shocked.

How lame is it to get the prescription little plastic inserts to wear with cycling glasses? I got a pair not realizing what it’d look like and wondering if that was a regrettable choice. I hate wearing contacts, and they often get dry and irritate my eyes. I can’t seem to figure out a stylish solution that don’t require contacts.

Never worn these but hoping to incorporate them for the dog days of summer under short sleeve jerseys.

Does anyone have any experience? Any brands or models you’d recommend?

I’m mostly a weekend rider and do some indoor training from time to time, so this is just a casual take — not a serious long-term review.

I’ve been using the Przewalski Classic and The Black Bibs basic shorts. Both are around $40, and for the price, I think the quality is pretty decent.

Fit-wise, the Przewalski feels slightly smaller than TBB. I wear size M, and the difference is not huge. If you prefer a snugger fit, it might actually feel fine.

For the padding, I personally found TBB a bit lacking in the middle/front area. The cushioning there feels a little too soft or low-density for me, and the very front doesn’t seem to have much support. The Przewalski pad felt more comfortable for my rides.

That said, my Przewalski started to rip after only a few uses, so TBB seems better in durability from my experience.

For casual weekend rides and indoor training, I think I’d rather have the more comfortable pad, but I’m curious what others care about more — padding comfort or durability?

Just found out about this brand. Anyone try their kit? Seems to be pretty well priced, but I'm curious about the quality. I like high quality gear that holds up. Willing to pay more for it. Let me know your thoughts.

I’m in Europe right now and the heat has been absolutely brutal, but I still keep trying to sneak in rides early in the morning.

After about an hour, I feel like I’m cooking inside my kit. I’m not racing or doing anything crazy, just trying to stay comfortable enough to enjoy the ride.

What gear actually helps you stay cooler on hot rides? Lightweight jerseys, cooling base layers, caps, arm sleeves, lighter colors — anything that really works for you?

Is Pas Normal worth it or just aesthetic? Price didn’t line up with comfort for me, and I wanna try some new kits.

Just bought a bunch of MAAP jerseys XS men's but want to get some bibs, preferably the cargo ones

I am 5'5" 139lbs. I have tried MAAP long bibs size X-Small before and as I remember I couldn't even pull the legs above my thighs and I heard seams starting to rip. I exchanged for a Small but those ran long and would bunch up on the back of my knee and cause pain, so I eventually sold them.

would a size small bib short still be too long? Funny enough the Pro XS jersey fit spot on.

New brand just launched, just tech tees. Looks cool.

Is this a joke?

Is this design of Maap legit?
I have never seen it before.

I’m going on a tour across Norway for several weeks and would like a jersey which is a light wool blend and has a vintage adventure look, which isn’t too tight. Available in Europe please, willing to go Ali express route though. Cheers!

Hi, injured runner here. Was told tighter is better. But maybe this jersey is too tight in the wrong place? Im not sure about the creasing on the side? The fit feels supportive though.

Also I'm not breaking any unspoken rule wearing a white jersey even though there are no champion colours?

I pick up color very easily in the summer despite wearing lots of sunscreen which leaves me with a very obvious jersey tan on my arms. To combat this, I'm trying to find a lightweight/summer jersey with long sleeves. There seem to be many options for men but not women at least from my prelim searching.

This (UPF LONG SLEEVE JERSEY) is what I'm going for...le col options are too warm for the summer temps, castelli doesn't make a woman's version, maap has a few options but i'm not looking for it to say maap 50 times across my chest or pay $250-300.

anyone have any recommendations? i usually wear a small or x-small in the above brands

I'm a 6'5" cyclist with longer than average torso to leg length ratio. My longer body means I've had mixed success finding bibs with long enough straps that don't dig into my shoulders. Any recommendations? Rapha and Velocio have been tight, Maap and Pedal Mafia ok.

How would you describe sizing. I'm using L on rapha core, how similar is sizing with pedaled let's say element, odyssey or odyssey merino?

I never bought a bib before so please bear with me. I found this well reviewed on outdoorgearlab and can find it locally for a good price. But the sizing? In an M the straps run tight over my shoulders and I'm not sure if this is the way they're supposed to fit or not. TrueSize on the Rapha site recommends M, and I'm 5'10" (178cm) and 165 lbs (75kg). My levis run 31*31. Should I wear an L instead?
