In my experience, every time I’ve tried to buy a cheap jersey, it ends up looking like a cheap jersey. The fit is weird, the fabric is off, it washes like crap… The best kits I own are the ones I paid an honest price for from a reputable company (i.e., Pactimo, Castelli, etc.).
I used to use cheap bibs from ebay on the trainer. They were fine for 60 minute trainer rides, but like anything in life, you get what you pay for.
FWIW, I have a rapha bib that sucks, and the desoto stuff I’ve had I’ve not been fond of (sorry!). I’ve had the best luck with Pactimo by far.
I’ve always been pretty happy with my DeSoto purchases. I have the 400 shorts and bibs (on my third pair). And a pair of Forza shorts. They’re all good, but, not cheap. I still have Desoto stuff from the '90s that I could wear (maybe). I really like their skin cooler jersey but its ~$150. That just is a lot of money for a top and I was hoping (and did) get some recommendations on similar but cheaper jerseys. A google search is pretty overwhelming on cycling jerseys and I just wanted some recommendations that I had faith in (Slowtwitch).
