GCRFL Winter Cycling Jersey Sets Thermal Fleece Bike Jersey + Bib Pants, Long Sleeve Cycling Clothing Sets for Man

I've shopped for winter riding wear multiple times in the past several years without buying, usually because I just couldn't justify the cost. In most cases the jackets alone would be at least double (usually much more for the highly rated ones) what this entire outfit cost. In the fall I bought a Pearl Izumi jacket (not insulated) that was on sale through REI but ended up returning due to fit and they didn't have the item in a larger size. After seeing the reviews for this outfit I decided to just take a chance and am glad I did. I'm 71 years old and have become much less tolerant to the cold weather over the years and don't like having to put on tons of clothing to stay warm on rides. I've ridden three times (about 30 miles per ride) and have been impressed with the warmth of this suit. The starting temperature for my most recent ride was 37 F and overcast. A little chilly starting out (expected) but, within the first three miles I was already comfortable and beginning to perspire slightly. The only other clothing underneath was a short sleeved dry fit shirt and battery operated heated socks that come up nearly to the knee. Just a slight chill on downhills but quickly returned to neutral on the flat and uphills. On previous rides the starting temp was mid 40s and I found by midway through the ride I needed to unzip the jacket down to my chest. I would guess that, with a thin layer of thermal underwear underneath, this outfit would be warm enough to ride with temps in the low 30s, possibly high 20s and if the opportunity presents itself, I'll test that theory out and update my review. As for fit, I'm 5'9" tall, 190 lbs. with a 29" inseam and typically wear a size 34-35 pant waist. I went with the 2XL size for this outfit as I am about in the middle of the size range. That turned out to be a good choice also as it's tight enough without being too tight while not looking too large either. Due to my short inseam the bibs are just a tad long but not to the point that I would need to have them altered or roll the bottoms of the legs up. The 2XL size along with the zippered bottoms on the legs also allow plenty of room for the batteries for my heated socks which are in the top edge of the socks. The three large pockets on the back of the jacket are handy for holding my wallet and keys and the zippered pocket on back is large enough for my cell phone. At this point I could not be happier with my choice and rate this item a solid 5 out of 5 stars. I don't think you'll find a better choice for this price.

I just got back from a 75km (46 mi) ride on a windy wintry day. It was about 12C (53F) but colder with windchill. Size details further below. These are warm - i wore a merino wool baselayer under the jersey and I was very warm; I probably could have gone without it. They're also comfortable, and I think they look pretty good, too. They are certainly good value when you consider you get top and bottom for the price of maybe half a "branded" winter jersey. Sizing: I bought medium and it's about perfect. The sleeves are long - they go right up to the base of my hands. But in winter honestly i feel like that's a good thing, as there is no gap between the sleeve and my gloves. For comparison for figuring out the size for you, medium fits very well on me. I am 180cm (about 5ft 10/11) and 70-73kg (154-160lb) (depending on how well I look after myself).

I bought the Large size. I’m 5’8”, 205 lbs, with a stocky build and athletic legs, and this kit fits well. My first ride was a 30-mile stretch along Chicago’s lakefront in 30-35°F weather (wearing a long sleeve compression base layer). I felt slight coldness on my hamstrings only in sections where the wind chill dropped below 30°F. The zipper can be a bit tricky, but it’s decent quality. The long-sleeve thermal is comfortable and warm, and both the bib tights and thermal are breathable. As part of my weight loss journey, I wanted a kit that could adapt to my current size and work as I slim down. So far, this kit has checked all the boxes. I even had a clip-in mishap with my pedals and fell, but the bib tights barely scuffed. There were no cuts or tears in the material from the fall. Great value for the price.

This winter cycling jersey set has exceeded my expectations for cold-weather rides. The thermal fleece material provides excellent insulation, keeping me warm without overheating. The jersey fits well and allows for a full range of motion while cycling, and the breathable fabric wicks away moisture effectively. The bib pants are equally impressive, featuring a comfortable chamois that offers great padding for longer rides. The overall construction feels durable, and the stylish design is a nice touch. I appreciate the attention to detail, such as reflective elements for visibility in low light. Overall, this set is perfect for winter cycling, combining warmth, comfort, and style.

The material of the outfit was thicker than I expected, which is perfect for the winter. I’m 5’9” 180 lbs. . I typically wear a 32/30 in US size pants. I’m in between Medium and Large as far as shirts are concerned. The bottoms are slightly too long, but they come equipped with zippers at the ankle so there’s no fabric overhanging or getting caught in my pedals. The top has more of a relaxed fit which will make layering up easier. All in all you can’t beat the price of what you’re getting. I can get 2 outfits for the price as one jersey or pair of chamois. I’m definitely going to purchase a few more of these!
