I think my days of buying specific cycling clothes have gone. Looking at that site it all looks very Chinese so be prepared sizes up from your usual and value should be good. Polyester is polyester the world over is it not?

Yes...but cloth grades are different, likewise how well stitched is it, is it a cheap zip that breaks rapidly? Most cheap Chinese fashion garments are garbage.

Finally: if it's super cheap has it been manufactured by forced labour or children? Big brands audit their suppliers. Google Uighurs.

I agree and a reason I’ve not bought for a few years now is that it’s plastic and ending up in our ecosystems. Whilst I still have some polyester clothing left, and will endeavour to wear it out, the last few years I’ve only bought natural fibres.

Oh hang on, just remembered I’ve bought a Pertex jacket and I wouldn’t go back to waxed cotton.
Oh well it’s the thought that counts ...right?

Is it a jacket or is it a jersey? Which one do you want? There are conflicting descriptions in the add. In my opinion jersey's and jackets are different things?

It must be Christmas as no one has jumped in to tell of the damage that cultivating cotton wreaks on the environment. Also about 20% of world cotton comes from China, with much of it implicated in forced labour.

The only answer is naked.

Cotton - anyone see Stacey Dooley's program about the environmental impact of the use of Cotton?

You get what you pay for. I have a pair of didoo padded undershorts that I wear under non-padded thermal bib tights for commuting in winter. My commute isn’t far.

They fit that purpose but I certainly wouldn’t use them for anything else.

I have a pair of Didoo winter cycling gloves, They are comfortable and work well in cold, wet weather, they were quite cheap and I'm pleased with them. Some gel padding on various bits of the palms, flou yellow pathes on the palm, and fluo yellow backs.

I chose a size that's a good fit, so no room for undergloves, but a bigger size would have been too big for me.

Thanks for the replies - I've ordered and will see how it works out.
