[@Avioto]

I bought socks, base layer and jersey (m2 Colorado) from Siroko. I'm very happy with the jersey, super comfortable and I love the shiny materials they use. Base layer is comfy, but extremely easy to rip at the bottom. Sock sizing makes no sense, mine are way too big and long. Best thing about Siroko are their prices in my opinion.

[@TonyBerten]

been wearing siroko because of you and dont regret any purchase

Great review! Love that even though your sponsored, you still have a VERY honest review

[@thomasreese5000]

I have enjoyed the kit i have purchased from Siroko, I hope they keep on improving. Their sizing chart could use some help just to make it easier to know what size to buy. For the price of the kit its a good deal IMO. I have other kit from Castelli, Pactimo, and Siroko I wear them all.

[@bigtdriver]

Thank you for the review and 10% code. I saved a ton and love the jerseys. Real good quality for the money.

[@josesolis505]

Great review! Ordered a set of SRX jersey and bibs after watching... Shipping from Spain to the USA took only 3 days, very impressed! First ride with the kit in a few hours 😁

[@jasperverkuijl]

Awesome. Let me know what you think!👍👍

So,... whats your opinion? I have some Bibs and Jerseys aswell and really like them.

[@HooxNZ]

How'd you rate em?

[@phildavis1825]

Nice genuine review . Been looking at Siroko for a while as i wanted a nice purple jersey, defo looks good kit, plus you dont many wearing it, that may change after your review lol. Thanks Jasper.

[@jasperverkuijl]

I just got in a purple srx jersey. It's nice!🤙 🟣

[@marcomaas9915]

Mainly due to this review I bought some clothes and I must say I am well surprised. The M2 jersey’s are really well quality and do fit perfectly. It is cheap and good looking. I don’t think I will buy expensive brands anymore. If you buy a shirt like this from expensive brands you pay at least 2 or maybe 3 times the price. For bibshorts I rely on the common brands because I know these are good and not that more expensive. About SRX, I think it is nice but most of the times too thin for me, I think you can only use it when it is warm and Holland is most of the times pretty cool. I will try a jacket as well as they are also priced very well. Thanks for the very complete review, it saved me a lot of money. Or actually, it costs me a lot as I bought a lot haha.

[@jasperverkuijl]

I use my srx jerseys a lot in Holland during summer. Use the merino base layer and arm warmers and the srx gilet and you’ll be ok from 14 degrees and more 👌🏻

[@Technotranceism]

I've started out with some of castelli gear, and am now getting into siroko and gore as well. I like diversity, and haven't ever known 1 company to be the one and only, as competition is good for innovation. Rapha I find to be on the elite cost spectrum, like buying from Gucci, or some other fancy one off designer's. I can't see dishing out $250+usd on just a jersey! That's not to say I won't spend hundreds of dollars on quality gear, but I'm not going to spend it, unless I know I can try it out first at those prices. If I can get similar stuff for cheaper, than why not right. I enjoyed the video, and the opinions in regards to one of the new brand's, I am testing myself. Thanks 👍

[@aemediainc]

Agreed on all points for the jacket. Looking fwd to trying the longsleeve M2 and srx bibs.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Great stuff !

[@enotracoon9244]

Because of you bought srx jersey, actually two of them. Of course with your discount code. I have to say that for that price (40-45 EUR) quality, look and fit is pretty good actually. Pockets are not deep enough and no zip like Castelli stuff , but Siroko is way cheaper. Definitely order more stuff for upcoming winter.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Mmm i have no issue with the pocket depth, think they are about the same as the Castelli aero jerseys imo...? Glad you like the kit!👍👍

[@asams7255]

Having just order my 2nd round of their kit I am impressed. The current sale they had on is brilliant and is very good quality from my experience. Shipping was crap though and some of the time scales for the sale on the website were a bit misleading

[@jasperverkuijl]

Hey I’m glad you like the quality and keep ordering because of it!💪🏻 Yes I agree, the sales can be a bit strange sometimes. Anyway, my link will always bring you the best possible price 👌🏻 enjoy the kit!

Hey Jasper. Enjoying the content and am going to do the Pyrenees Haute Route in July 2022 after seeing you in the Dolomites. Quick question. What size Siroko bibshorts do you wear?

[@jasperverkuijl]

That's awesome. Maybe see you in the Pyrenees!🤙 Your answer is in the end of this video. I even made a special chapter about it. (Did you dm me on IG too? Than you're covered hehe)🤞

What is your favorite Siroko item!?🤙🤙

[@celasaans]

Hey Jasper, awesome vid, can I ask what brand is the shoes and socks you are wearing in this video? The red/burgundy shoes and white socks!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Socks are siroko cycling socks, yhe sneakers are Vans. One of my favorites!🔥

[@jayjames100]

Good vid Jasper, I like Le Col clothing, but may try those bibs. The glasses look better than those headphone glasses, that I won, but never came ☹️😂. Keep up the good vids 👍🏻

[@jasperverkuijl]

Sorry about that mate. I never heard back from that company.... Kind of weird 😑 Yeah the glasses are better than the headphone ones and the bibs are awesome anyway!🤙

[@tonywatson8101]

Thanks Jasper, been meaning to get some Siroko kit for a while now and will be heading back to Scotland in December so the winter review was especially useful. Question about the glasses - I don't think you said anything about the optical quality. How do they stack up against e.g. Oakleys ?. Cheers 🚲👍😎

[@jasperverkuijl]

Oakley's are better in terms of the optical, no doubt about it. But that's what the price is like. To be honest I don't have any problem with the sirokos and their glasses and I think it's fine. Buy yes, i will notice a difference of a €40 or a €200 pair of glasses.

[@emersonpalomino6748]

i actually came around Siroko aswell but wasnt so sure about it untill now i think i might give it a chance.

[@DancingMachine1]

As someone else in the comments said, the glasses are not very good. The Jerseys and Bibs are very good for the price.

[@024416664]

Hé Jasper, supervideootje weer, mooi overzicht. Ik ben ook blij met mijn Siroko-outfits. Toch nog een vraagje: draag je ook je armstukken in medium? Ze lijken me juist aan de lange kant als ik de maattabel op de site moet geloven... Keep it up! 🤙🏼

[@jasperverkuijl]

Ja die maattabel klopt voor geen meter helaas.... Er zijn nu ook dunne arm sleeves, die kloppen een stuk beter en zijn wel lang en strak. Maar de warme arm Warners die ik heb zijn vrij kort en een beetje wijd in verhouding

[@antspage]

i have a couple of kits of siroko will try the srx next time , wasnt sure if it was marketing hype or worth the difference, thanks for detailed coverage

[@jasperverkuijl]

SRX is completely different. Definitely try the M4&3 jersey too. They are launched after this review.

[@atmamont]

I’ve bought a winter jacket after your winter video and didn’t regret. However, I second the pockets issue. I am basically stopping to get my bar out of them. I was about to buy the same long sleeve “bee” colored jersey but they do not have it in the list :)

[@jasperverkuijl]

Aaaah, maybe in the"last chance" section? Sometimes you have to really search around on the website and you find other items! (No idea how that is but it's so haha)

[@WheelsMissing]

Very helpfull thanks! Sowiesoooo zijn je video's vet Jasper, nog maar een maandje of 6 op de racefiets maar kijk ze met veel plezier. Heb jij een long term review van de supersix? Ik kon hem niet vinden namelijk. Keep up the good work!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yoo Thanks. Nee die heb ik niet gemaakt

[@emirc2618]

Hi Jasper, thanks for the video! I am about to order some bibs, did you ever tried the SRX version in small?? My body type is 185cm/ 88kg, similars to yours i think... Would size small be too tight? I got the bx version in large and after two months i realized that they are bit too big especially while riding indoors.. Thank you!!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yeah size L are definitely too big. Ive always worn medium bibs and never small so can’t tell you. But the M are nice and tight 👍🏻

[@BarryJHoffman]

Hey Jasper.. Big fan. Great vid. 1 simple question. Are the long sleeve siroko jerseys as effective on your arms as wearing a short sleeve jersey with arm warmers? I know you said by wrist might be a bit wider than warmerers which grabs wrist but I coukd get tailored. How about the tjicknes/warmth? Or not as effective as arm warmers? Thanks

[@jasperverkuijl]

They are thinner than the insulated arm warmers but thicker than the sunscreen arm warmers. So with cold weather i always wear a long sleeve baselayer (thebsiroko merino) under my long sleeve. It's like a short jersey with long sleeves. (same thickness)

[@BarryJHoffman]

@@jasperverkuijl thanks!

[@patrick1886]

Really good video from this brand! I have been using the cheapest bib shorts and it fits perfectly for me, but I want to ask you, than what you think the mid range bib which have a blue padding? Is this paddig better than the cheapest green one? Thank you and have a nice day!

[@jasperverkuijl]

Yes it's far far better!!! I really don't like the cheap one. But that's personal taste maybe.

[@patrick1886]

@@jasperverkuijl thank you for your fast answer!

[@gietube]

Hey Jasper, I am looking into the SRX bibshorts at the moment. And I was wondering why you find the Pro Elite a bit more comfortable than the World Series? Can you elaborate on that a bit more? Is it because the World Series have more compression? Or is it something else?

[@jasperverkuijl]

They are really almost the same. But the World Series doesn’t have an extra seam stitch at the bottom part of the leg. The legs are from one piece which looks nice. I have the idea the compression may be slightly less. They now have the BX bibs in colors and those seem to be very good as well with proper compression. Slightly cheaper and I can’t say they are less good than the SRX at the moment. (They are probably my favorite currently)

[@gietube]

@@jasperverkuijl 👍Thanks! That is useful advice; will look into the BX bibs. (and use your link of course) 😎

[@Gufolicious]

Hey jasper i just ordered a few kits with your link. I really like it and i want to thank you for your nice review. Btw most of the kit says hand wash, do you never put them in a washing mashine with lets say 30degree?

[@jasperverkuijl]

I always wash them in wasxjing machine at 40*C, no problems. Just wash the m4 jerseys separately the first time because they will give away their color! (The bright colors like orange and red)

[@Gufolicious]

@@jasperverkuijl thanks a lot i was hoping you would say that :D the jerseys and bibs are so amazing i truly love them. Thanks again. Ps: incase anyone else is ordering and needs some more insights on sizing im around 178cm with 72kg (but im trained so chest and guns are there) and i ordered M i would have had no chance in S but L would be way to long on the arms and from head to waist.

[@prejitsu3101]

Thanks for the great review of the gear. I am considering the SRX jersey and too found the size charts strange but realised they were measured on the item itself meaning no stretch had been factored in. How stretchy is the material? I am a 40 inch chest, 34 inch waist but 193cm tall. Any recommendations on sizing?

[@jasperverkuijl]

It's all very stretchy. The size guide is the opposite imo, it tells you to pick a way too big size. I'm a M, size guide said L or XL if i remember..... (I'm 1.86 82kg) Im not sure about your size because of your height. Maybe L jersey. (the M4 jersey and winter jacket fits smaller so take that a size bigger)

[@prejitsu3101]

@@jasperverkuijl Thanks for replying Jasper. I might try the medium for the more slim fit and hope that the length is fine. Also, just wanted to say thanks as I am entering my first MTB XC race in July after watching your 200km MTB XC race video.

Great review of products Jasper. I used your link and I ordered the SRX Pro World Series bib shorts to give the brand a try. I was so impressed I then ordered the SRX Pro Ardiden Jersey, M2 Riedberg Jersey, V1 Langkawi vest and the K3S Champs Élysées sunglasses. The quality and feel of the Ardiden jersey is awesome. It feels like wearing silk. Downside: after a couple of hand washes the bib shorts have stretched a bit down near the knee area. They don't fit tight anymore at the very ends near the knee. For the full price of €200 the bib shorts need to be improved. I have no idea how you fit into a Medium 😂😂I'm 70kg and 180cm and need the XL jersey size . Overall I definitely recommend Siroko.

[@jasperverkuijl]

I don't have that issue with the stretching of the legs so I don't know how that can happen. Not even after a year of heavy usage. The price is never 200, it's always about 120-140 or lower with big sales and my link. That's the price. Don't look at the 200. (Marketing) I don't know how you fit a xl.... I'd say you should try the m or s haha. They need to be tight!👍

[@ScuuBdoo]

@@jasperverkuijl I might try a size down next time I order. Overall the Siroko is really great gear.

Hey. What size bib shorts fit you? I’m same weight but 2cm shorter. Cheers!

[@elkemp]

Hi Jasper, yes again a question about sizes ;) I'm considering a J1 jacket and I'm in a dilemma between size M and L :( I'm 180 cm, 88 cm in the hips, 80 waist and 100 chest and 75 kg weight. Which size would you recommend? I'm thinking if a size L would be too big / loose for me but also not sure if an M would be too tight / small. Although from what you say the jacket is warm and just wear a baselayer under it.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Hey. Sorry for the late reply. Not sure if you already bought one. I highly recommend yhe J3 jacket actually over the J1. Size M will be good

[@terrywalker7127]

I purchased the SRX bib short through your youtube link. I love the shorts BUT: they were too big for me and trying to exchange clothing with Siroko is SO DAMNED HARD and EXPENSIVE!. It took about 2 months to get the right short size. And cost me about $85 US in shipping. And they are very difficult to understand their emails that they send at 2AM my time (EST). I wish they had a US distributor to make it much easier and more timely to exchange items. So I won't be buying anything else from Siroko until they make it less costly to exchange items.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Hey that's too bad to hear mate. They are based out of Spain so yeah that's a long way from us... Did you take my advice on the sizing? Did you end up with a proper fitting bib shorts or not? They email you at 2 am because that's mid day in Europe, you get that right?😂😂😂

Haha ok goeie!😜

[@CarbonRider1]

The quality seems fine and jersey and no shorts are comfortable. The sizing for jerseys seem to run a tad bit big around the waist and neck. But then, I run between a small and a medium, so it’s always a struggle with first time orders with brands. My ONLY issue is that any water or sweat immediately shows up and discolors the jersey until you wash it again. This means even if you drop something on it, and scrub it off with water, the jersey stays discolored until the next complete wash.

[@SF-wr4zn]

Hey Carbon Rider, what size did you end up going for? I also run between a s/m…40” chest, 31” waist. Think I might go for small?? 🤔 Thanks 🚵🏼

Ten opzichte van de broeken is de rapha prijs naar mijn mening niet in verhouding. De SRX broeken zijn echt goed. De shirts van rapha zijn wel iets betere kwaliteit maar ook ,2 a 3x zo duur...

Siroko jersey I’ve been a big fan of Siroko for the last couple of years, but my recent purchases have not been very good, Lucky from Siroko reached out to me from Siroko and asked me how I felt about the product, I replied and told him I wasn’t happy and he replied. Thank you very much for your answer, Bruce, we try to improve every day and thus you help us a lot. Have a great day. This did not make me feel any love in regards to possibly returning or making it right for me. If you are in America and you order a jersey from this company beware that you need to know what size you want, because the customer service is horrible, it will cost you just as much as it does for the price of the Jersey in order to get a refund and get it exchanged shipping it back to Siroko.

[@jasperverkuijl]

Sorry to hear that mate. As I've experienced with my own clothing line last year, shipping overseas is very expensive indeed. Also EU has massively increased the border patrol on packages! Why did you get the wrong size after using sirokos for a few years already? Maybe you can give the jersey to a friend and order a new one in your size, may be a good option?

The sizing info for socks is a bit odd, they use the length of the socks not your feet. Love the quality and compression but their smallest size is still about three shoe sizes too large for me. 😭 I’d recommend measuring the length of your foot and then go for the size roughly 4cm shorter.

@@jasperverkuijl Calm down mate! No, I am not laying the blame at your door - perish the thought! I am merely offering up my own experience of the company, in that while the discount(s) are great, the DHL costs (to the UK) are a stinger (at €25). That said, I am expecting delivery of a few items tomorrow, so of course I hope to be able to report back on the quality of the goods, rather than the initial feedback on the cost of delivery. And, I will say, that a lot of companies (at least within the UK) will offer 'free' delivery for orders in excess of £100 or thereabouts, so perhaps I had just hoped that filling a basket to the tune of €196 might have yielded a similar result.

[@michaelthompson9261]

Sizing is an issue in terms of consistency. I purchased a few hundred USD on bibs/shirts/socks based on online reviews, photo appearance and price as I do other brands. The socks, bibs and long sleeve jerseys fit but the short sleeve jerseys were unusable (way too small). I contacted the company via email (responded in 24 business hours) and exchanging them (Arizona USA) will cost me more that the shirts-not good! The materials, elasticity, and looks are excellent and super thin adhering comfortably; almost like a second skin with high quality zippers and stitching on all articles. Socks fit perfect too. I also really like the logo and modern ethos the company seems to be it going for. My rating... 8 out of 10.

Thanks for your comment. I 💯 agree with the inconsistency of the sizing and I’ve brought this up many many times with my siroko contact. They seem to ignore it which is too bad.. Anyway I’m glad your satisfied with the other items.
