    Jesus, so tempting. 20 pounds for full movistar kit including postage.

    But it HAS to be bad, right..?

    The jerseys can't be too bad I guess, whatever about the bibs...

    I've always found the jerseys to be excellent.
    The padding in the shorts can be of varying quality, some are ok some are unwearable.

    I had a HTC kit, the jersey wasn't great, it was fairly heavy and the stitching wasn't the best, comparable to the Lidl and Aldi stuff, maybe a little bit better.

    Shorts were brutal, chamois was paper thin.

    I have had 2 seasons summer wear out a few chinese shorts and one pair for 3 seasons. Pads are very good and I was thinking they work better than some of the named stuff I have owned. I have thought that the jerseys do not feel like the quality of the named gear and imagined they do not have the anti bacterial properties but have never experienced any kind of difficulty - no odors, itchiness or any form of unpleasantness. They wash well and the stitching holds. I had one zip go but was able to sew the bottom of it together and it looks fine now. If you do order check the sizing charts carefully - they are accurate. Before anyone asks me to post a link ( mine were Ebay), I believe they change them regularly for obvious reasons but as another poster pointed out there are several sellers selling same kit. at the end of the day you are not risking silly money and if you don't get on with the bib then use an old pair of shorts under them
