Can a £12 Chinese cycle jersey from eBay really compete with a £130 premium jersey from LeCol?
A comfortable, easy to wear cycle jersey is an essential piece of clothing for every road cyclist. There is a lot of choice out there, but the top brands command equally top prices. Companies like Rapha, Assos, and Castelli will charge you hundreds of pounds/dollars, for one of their jerseys.
Online retailers like Ebay and Aliexpress are littered with MUCH cheaper options, that can cost more than 10 times less. In this episode, I will be pitting a premium jersey from LeCol, against one of these budget Chinese alternatives, from a brand called Weimostar.
I will cover the choice of fabric, the stitching, the pockets, the zips, the fit, and the overall comfort of each. As you might expect the LeCol jersey is a great choice, and excels in all these areas, but not everyone can afford such expensive equipment.
I will cover the reasons why the cheaper jerseys work for me, and some of the tips and tricks you can use to make them work for you.
