My only real takeaway from him is the fit of the bib. It gives major camel toe/moose knuckle as that was the first thing he noticed, and to my displeasure sent me multiple photos showing this.

Funny 💩!

I guess that's better?

That's the only difference that I can see. Even the font is the same as Rapha's. I still hate it.

So, you get them? Heard the wait can be long....

Please report back with findings. I too have ordered chinese clothing (jersey) from aliexpress and ebay. The quality wasn't so bad at all, but the sizing was *impossible* to predict as there are many manufacturers and they don't have a consensus. I found the large ( i wear a medium) wouldn't fit through my arms, which was a problem.

I recently received some Spexcel bits, and the sizing is WAY off. I wear a club fit large, went for XL, probably should’ve gone up two more sizes. These fit like race mediums.
I was impressed by the base layer Which closely mimics Raphas Proteam mesh layer. It flows a lot of air, and the material is a close match. Best sizing for me was probably an XXL, but the XL works fine.
