Purchased these previously from costco.
Love them .Men's ones have better padding than the women's though.I have them too. I found the padding on Decathlon ones better than these. For $9.97, I am not going to complain though.
Which decathlon ones do you have?
I bought a pair from decathlon and found that the padding is thicker but worse in terms of shape/contour.
The decathlon ones cause a fair bit of discomfort for me 😑Triban
Can these be found in-store too, to try out the sizing?
No
What are their sizes like?
I'm somewhere between a small and medium and thinking of going small (tighter is better?) for a cycling jersey?
Sizes are fairly stock standard. I usually wear large and ordered the same size in these and they fit perfectly. If I wanted a tighter fit, I would go a size down.
In case of any doubt, order both and the return the one that you don't like.

What is the difference between jerseys and guernseys ?
I think guernseys are for professionals only, jerseys are for amateurs.
The difference is in which channel island you favour for naming rights of what were traditionally woolen knitted clothing
The difference is in which channel island you favour
I prefer channel 7 for sport.
are you for real. Terrible posts.
No need to be Sarky…
Life's too short to wear cheap cycling shorts
only matters if you're going on long rides
I used to say that, but these days nah. Cheap and nasty is bad even for a 45 minute ride.
What is your recommendation? Pls

Friends don't let friends grind their perineum to bits.
but are the expensive ones actually better though?
like do they have more padding etcYes, 100%. You do not need to buy top of the range pro stuff. Like Castelli entry range is better than any Decathlon shorts. Padding is so much better.
Yes, much better. Dont have to go full blown Assos top of the range $700 a pair but the basic shorts from most of the mainstream brands are better. The pad is better, the fit is better and often they breathe better. They also normally last a lot longer. I've had most of the main ones over the years, buying on big discount during annual sales is what i normally do. best I've had are Rapha classics and Pedla Super G. Close 2nd to Assos entry level (cant afford the high end Assos).
@2ndeffort: OK I am more than happy to spend on padding not brand name or any other specs
I am buying a bicycle after 15years - last time i rode was in high school and my tail bone (or is it perenium? new word for me) was sore from just riding up and down the 99bikes driveway!
I have a few years motorcycle experience and I hate how the bicycle seats are like wooden logs - do other guys have a lot more junk in the trunk - I never checked before$700 is what I am spending on the bike - cant believe shorts cost this - I was the most nicely padded cheap shorts - like a baboons ass otherwise im just going to tape a pillow on!
@ChatCPT: Yep getting comfortable on the bike is almost an art in and of itself. I found a saddle with a 'cutout' in the middle was a godsend, it prevented things that shall ever remain nameless from going numb. Good, padded shorts and a saddle with a hole in the middle made my life much more bearable. If you find yourself riding longer rides there are people that will do a 'bike fit' where they measure you and adjust the bike to fit you. When i started i thought this sounded like a grift for the easily fleeced, after riding for a while I happily had a guy with a massage table come around to my house, measure me and tweak my bike, made a huge difference.
@2ndeffort: It's shocking how some people ride bikes when i'm on the bike path commuting to work on my electric scooter.
So many have their seat so low that they can't pedal without their knees coming out the side. Surely they don't need experts to help to get their bike seats in a reasonable position LOL@keejoonc: I saw a guy a couple of weekends ago during around the bay, his position looked so painful my lower back almost went out in protest. Hate to sound like a bike snob but seeing folks on poor fitting bikes does my head in. the old knees at right angles to the bike or hips tipping from side to side because the seat post is too high are pet hates.
@2ndeffort: thanks mate - makes a lot of sense. I need that cut out bit. Also saw on Amazon a heavy amouny of gel seat where the padding is raised only on the sides giving a deeper cut out in the middle for 'storage'
Getting fitted on the bike this weekend. Going to also take my bafang motor/triangle battery to make sure it all fits =D
@ChatCPT: Just be careful with heavily gel'd or soft saddles. There is a chance that you'll increase chafing since you sink into the seat more.
@kickling: thank you will do. looks like each one of these is a trial basis but definitely not paying hundreds for a seat
@ChatCPT: Depending on what bike you have and your style / intention of riding, and your physical dimensions, don't be afraid to get the saddle that is the best for you regardless of price. If you get a saddle you love (and that your body loves) then you will enjoy your rides more and be more motivated to get out there.
If you get a cheap bike/saddle/component that dampens your experience and/or ruins your body then all this money is essentially wasted. Spend more where it counts of course.
@kickling: thats very true. Thats why I upped my budget from Kmart bike to $500 polygon/aldi bike with better 3x7 gears and now at $900 1x10 gears!
It never ends! but certainly keeping an open mind re budget
I have a few years motorcycle experience and I hate how the bicycle seats are like wooden logs - do other guys have a lot more junk in the trunk - I never checked before
It takes some time to harden your arse for sure, but using nix or padded shorts (i prefer bib nix and shorts) will seriously make life better and after a month (say riding 3 days a week) you won't notice it. "Logs" for seats is fine, you don't want wide comfy seats, there's a reason everyone has thin hard seats. Getting ones that fit your "butt" bone is the most important (ex motorcyclist who has cycled for 50 years, MTB off road and commuting these days only) Adjust the seat height and make sure it's flat, so many casual riders with seats that are way to low. Good luck !
(or is it perenium? new word for me)
perenium = taint.
Following for good value cycling shorts recommendations!
So I have a few: Pedal Mafia, Rapha, dhb, nukeproof, a couple of generic ones.
The dhb (from Wriggle) for price to quality is really good. Can be bought for under $50 when on sale.
Only bought the Rapha set on Archive Sale and it is a nice set of bibs, would not pay full price for them however. Plus it's Rapha…. you'll be labelled as such.I would say that the more expensive brands do have good chamois and materials which are better for longer rides.
Cheaper bibs aren't necessarily less padding, some don't wick sweat and you get hotter wearing them. I had a cheap pair where the sticky material around the leg that prevents it from riding up your leg was so poor it kept moving, good material/elastic doesn't do that.
The other thing to consider is some of the 'quirks and features' of certain models, they make touring versions with even thicker padding and leg pockets for your bikepacking or ultra gravel rides etc. etc. so comparing brands and prices isn't the only factor.@sobriety22: ^ this.
Dhb aeron bibs are the only ones I've found to fit me well and with good chamois.
Have tried Santini, Castelli etc and although excellent quality overall, I find the front padding too bulky.
Have tried cheap China shorts with "5D gel pad" or whatever fake marketing they use. Don't bother. Firstly the actual Lycra elasticity dies very quickly. Secondly the pad covering material pills and wears out super quickly and is a pretty poor shape anyway. Easy to chafe. Monton are probably the only China ones I'd be willing to try.
@sobriety22: Got them delivered today. Nothing special about the bib shorts. Padding is fairly thick but inflexible. Only going to be used on my commutes to work, no longer rides.
The jersey though. What body shapre is it for? I mean, longest jersery for upper body fit that I have ever come across. Can't complain for the price paid though.
I still dont get (as a guy) why we have to wear tight shorts with my junk all visible because of these pathetic bikini looking seats instead of just coming with a big comfy seat - expecially on these 'commuter' + 'urban' bikes which clearly have the purpose of city riding
@ChatCPT: You don't have to wear skin tight aero lycra. There are plenty of MTB shorts with padded chamois (even ALDI have them each year).
You are free to swap to whatever seat you like, might require a post swap. I'd be surprised if an urban cruiser would have a racing saddle.
And also … sit bones.
@ChatCPT: We don't have to, I prefer and wear bib nix with shorts over the top and a tshirt for commuting and MTB I wear baggy shorts (or bib nix and a jersey). I can then take the nix off if I want to just go with shorts when I get where I am going,
https://www.wiggle.com.au/baggy-shorts?g=49Nix shine for long distance road cycling, flapping clothes and wind resistance are a PITA in that instance.
just coming with a big comfy seat
because IMO they suck for any sort of longer ride (> 5km) especially if you are doing it regularly, makes perfect sens on a rental though.
I've just been wearing running shorts although I haven't rode more than 30km.
I'm usually a small in jerseys, but their small jersey is too big, just ordered a xsmall.
Spaghetti arms?
arm shaming now are we?
What's meaning g
Of netti
It's a brand name.
Australian owned and designed brand, China made. Was always a low to mid range brand in the past, but I haven't dealt with them in years so I'm not sure if that's changed.
question: why do we need to wear cycling jersey instead of a normal tshirt?
Yeah wondering the same, I was thinking if its worth the effort cycling to the office in the mornings and showering instead of just hopping into a car.
I think it's wind-resistant, also tight to the body so better performance against wind, and it's look more professional.
"looking more professional"?
I wear mine as I find it more comfortable plus having the pockets at the back allows me to carry some nutrition bars, lollies etc. Also the phone if it starts raining.
can this carry rocks, just in case someone tailgate, asking for friend
I carry a revolver every now and then.
3 pockets in the back , so you probably can.
Wicking sweat
I used to wear a normal sports jerseys but switched over to decathlon cycling top. 1) They go a bit lower in the back so they'll cover your bum/crack (sports jerseys more likely to ride up), 2) Pockets in the back are very convenient for carrying things like phone, tissues, snacks, access pass, 3) zip is a very easy way to open up and cool off when overheating, 4) fit is snugger so better for aero and weight
All in all, worth it imo. I'll always wear them for a longer ride, and wear them about 90% of the time for my commute ride (10km, 25min)
To blend in with other cyclists. :D
On a more serious note, jerseys are more form fitting, so they don't catch wind. Also better air circulation. Pockets on the back are handy for snacks.
But I would prefer long sleeve jerseys for sun protection.
So many reasons: (1) pockets to carry food and accessories for long ride (2) better aerodynamics. Regular T shirt works like a sail and flap around (3) moisture management (4) asthetics, its subjective but important to many
Its very much a functional thing. What you don't want is anything that flaps around in the wind - not just because of aerodynamics, but because its really bloody annoying! ALso, most jerseys these days are very airy for summer and wick sweat/moisture away easily. Plus of course the jersey pockets at the back are super-convenient for stashing your wallet and/or a snack if you're doing a longer die.
Absolutely nothing wrong with wearing a t-shirt or whatever you want! But if you start to do regular riding, a jersey ends up more comfortable for that reason. :-)
Cos aero.
What happens when you are non member? Can you still purchase?
If you have a Costco gift card, you can use it in store without being a member, but you pay full price if there's a member's discount.
You can also sign up as member, do your shopping, then cancel your membership to get a refund, but probably a one time deal.
In this case, it is likely an online only special, so you need to be a member to register. Or ask your friend who is a member, or perhaps someone on OZB can order it for you if you can sort out the payment.
Ok. Thanks for the update. I’ll pass, too complicated with Costco membership process!
Don't think I've ever heard of cycling shorts/tights called nix before.
Catchy name for "knicks".
knicks or bibshorts/bibs is the normal term, I've never heard them called anything else.
i don't know how to ride a bike, but this is a great deal. in for 1
If only there was a long sleeve jersey for those of us who burn easily in the sun.
