Spexcel Cycling Apparel

Other than a review on theBidon blog and a few Reddits, there's very little online about Shenzhen-based cycling apparel brand Spexcel. I first ran across Spexcel on AliExpress in 2023. I bought a few windproof vests and two bibs for the fall and winter seasons. The quality and workmanship were outstanding. In 2024, I revisited their AliExpress store multiple times. I bought a half dozen jerseys, several bib shorts, and a thin, windproof vest. I have a drawer full of jerseys, some old, some newer; what I was missing were short-sleeve jerseys made from extremely lightweight materials for hot summer days. By hot, I mean 24-28°C. No jersey in the world would make cycling fun at 30 °C. Spexcel had just what I needed.

I'm 176 cm, with normal proportions, muscular rather than skinny. At the moment, I have a bit more fat around my waist than I would normally have. I buy the bib shorts in medium and the jerseys in large. Once I can slim back to my normal weight, the jerseys should still be good. The vests in size large are a little tight and will fit perfectly once I drop a few kilos.

What's to like:

• excellent construction
• comfortable high-end fabrics
• stylish colors (zippers in the same color)
• small unobtrusive logos
• unbeatable value for money
