Chinese cycle clothing is generally poor. Chinese knock off team kit is woeful.

Try Prendas who will accept returns and have great prices.

and to counter ....I bought some kit off these famous sellers in China/HK.
Thought it was fine.
Zip broke on the jersey but easily repaired (not by me ) still weairng the jersey and its still in good shape after many wears.
Wrecked the shorts when I went sliding on a mucky descent. Glad I wasnt wearing more expensive shorts then. Padding on the shorts was nice and thick.

I have bought nearly all my gear from Monton. Can't fault it so far and it's less than half the price of branded stuff. Their gear is every bit as good as genuine santini jersey and bib shorts I have.

You get what you pay for. Good quality doesn't come cheap.
