I live in Perth and go to their local shop frequently. Absolute legends and always on your side to try and get you the best price. I'm a 6ft skinny guy and their stuff fits super well. 100% underrated and would totally recommend.
Maybe the quality is nice, but I don't think I would pay this much for a plain black kit. For this price it should have some nice design or colors at least
AliExpress all the way. My body is not made for aero and most of the stuff locally available is made for skinny Italians, even the 2XL I usually wear. Ali stuff is made for 'comfort' fit and has a much better range of colours and designs and seasonal gear - everything here is basically black. I can get five maillot for less than the cost of a local one made of the same material. And when I crash it's not a major insurance claim! I'm not a racer so don't need space age material.
I can see the appeal of having one of these kits for a race or a group ride but that's about it. The difference between my 90€ dhb bibs and my 240€ lecol bibs is negligible. Sure, the later ones are a bit more comfy, a bit more aero and a bit nicer looking but having multiple of them is simply not economically viable for me.
I feel like when we talk about cycling clothes we need to acknowledge that a lot of times we pay for the brand and what we perceive as the "advantages" is pretty common on cycling apparel when we reach a certain level.
Depends. Rapha and several other brands have some kit at a value I haven't seen surpassed for less. It's not strictly style and the brand, although that's what first draws us in. My Rapha Core Jersey is extremely comfortable and has lasted me well over a year of heavy use. I have 3 alibaba type jersey's (ordered at the same time) and they're stiff, fit poorly, and the seams have come undone after only a few uses. As for rapha's more expensive pro line, yeah, super expensive, but I haven't see the quality and fit for (much) less anyplace else. I also have some less expensive jersey's by specialized and some from REI way back when. The Rapha core blows them out of the water for around $20 more.
@@Harry-if3ie size small Tech jersey fit well. Still trying to figure out whether I’m a small or extra small with PM’s bibs. I’m 5’8” 153lbs and I wear US size M. Sized down to small with my PMCC bib. Fits snug but a little long on the leg probably because I have a long torso but short legs/inseam. No fuss tho. My pro classic bib is a size small and fits me better, more aero fit and shorter on the leg.
The lower end stuff seems quite reasonable. Think I'll try their bibshorts. I've tried a bunch of bibshorts. It's difficult to find a pad / material combo that I like. Have to stick with Castelli Jerseys as I can't find any others that fit broad shoulders / chest while remaining tight around the stomach.
Too expensive... I do feel the difference between cheap and expensive bib... but the expensive bib I bought from local jersey maker who actually made jersey for our local Malaysia pro teams still waaaaay cheaper than this.
Investing in good quality kit is worth it, when getting into cycling I went budget and paid for it... I then invested in some premium brands and its been a game changer for comfort on my longer training rides
Hi! have you tried BIORACER outfits? Can you make a review? I've tried some and they are amazing, for the price. They seem to fail on design and style, but in technology they are great. Would like to hear your opinion. Thanks!
Nice video! This came up when i was searching for local stores that sell Pedal Mafia. Just bought the PMCC navy set you recommended. Can't wait! used your promo code the only thing is it's not 10% but $10 off haha. Greetings from The Netherlands ;)
Thanks a lot man!!! Yeah unfortunately they had to reduce the discount due to the lower margins because of covid. 10 bucks is still 10 bucks!! It's going to pay for food on your next ride XD You'll LOOOOVE the PMCC Navy. Cheers mate!!
Both extremely great quality. I like that PM is a bit more underground and less mainstream than Castelli, definitely give a cooler factor at the cafe stops
J’ai fait faire 2 kits sur mesure par une entreprise québécoise appelée Endorine avec des specs similaires. Le plus tout est sur mesure, j’ai rien eu d’aussi comfo mais je vais regarder PM
Love your channel Charles. The Winspeed is an awesome find as well. I'm still trying to justify the high price of cyclingwear these days. Maybe one day I'll invest.
@@CharlesOuimet ok Charles. I was suprised by some of the quality they provide. Maybe they wear a little faster but for around 20 us for a jersey and 30 for good quality bibs with a suprising comfortable chamois its worth a try. Like with the winspace and budget indoor trainer some of the chinese companies are really raising their standards.
@@henkvanderstoep9381 I've just bought a Spexcel flyweight Jersey and it's almost as good as my Rapha flyweight Pro team jersey! Tempted to give the bibs a try. My only concern is consistency of quality, mine is perfect but some people don't always get that.
Hey Ken, sorry it was reduced over time from 10% to 10$ due to some higher costs price with the industry right now. At least I can still get a small kick-back from the sales to fund this youtube channel for more video!! Hope you understand :) Thanks!!
Honestly this is a terrible company and brand Their garments are poorly made from cheap materials. Very low quality builds. they also have the worlds worst return policy. I bought some thing there which didn’t fit right at all and they would not let me exchange it for a different size. I eventually got a refund from my credit card company but it was a major hassle. I would not recommend paddle mafia to anyone who is serious about having good cycling kit. Better off buying from a more reputable company that makes quality materials. Sure you may have to pay more but it will be worth it in the end.
I love my pedal mafia thermal jackets. Perfect fit for me. Size large. I do love the silicone rubber grip on the bibs. Hugs tight on my thighs which I like.

I recently bought a Jersey. I fell in love with the material once I got it. i wrote them asap and asked when they putting out new colors.
Same. 6ft 168lbs. Not sure if I should go Small or XS?
Maybe the quality is nice, but I don't think I would pay this much for a plain black kit. For this price it should have some nice design or colors at least
Yeah I get that! They just dropped a new collection with SAFA Brian, which is psychedelic design ahah.
They do have other options with different color designs, they look nice and minimalist

Totally agree with that man! Most 90$ bibs will get the job done and the most expensive ones offers marignals improvments!

You need the great white shark cycling cap to complete your set! Cheers

Fair review, any suggestions on extra length socks ? Im tall and can not find decent socks. Suggestions.? (8" cuff length, call it Sock doping)
Thanks! Hummm I have no idea for extra lenght socks ahah, I'm 5'6 so never had this issue
Look at other sports that use compression socks. Football and baseball may be a start
Nice Video thank you for your great review 🫶🏽
Iam 1.70cm 65kg which PMCC bibs and jersey size should I buy?
XS
Have a look at ‘Torm’ if your looking for merino cycling jerseys, very nice 👍😊

sounds like a scam to me
Pedal Mafia vs Castelli Jacket. What to choose for 0 to 10 degree
Both extremely great quality. I like that PM is a bit more underground and less mainstream than Castelli, definitely give a cooler factor at the cafe stops
I just invest in quality bibs
Better investment than bitcoins AHAH

How do you get in touch with them?
the broll had me salivating forsome of their kit! what waist are you? i think im in between xs/s in bibs
Ahaha hell yes!! You'll love it. Im 30'' waist
How is the fit of the jerseys? are they True to size? Planning to get a jersey
I have to size down with pedal mafia. Im usually size small in all brands, but XS with them
@@CharlesOuimet What is your height and weight if you don't mind me asking?
how do the gilets fit? small jersey should go small gilet?
Yes my gilet is also XS like my jerseys! Fits great
@@CharlesOuimet thanks!
mafia prices, also is this a paid promotion or not? any disclaimers?
Not paid promotion, just an unboxing from what I got. high price indeed, I but top quality
Awesome video!
Thanks boyssssss
Nice clothing! I personally don’t like big brand names or graffiti prints
Yeah! Not only nice, they perferm amazing too
How tall are you out of interest for sizes, great videos. Been here since early days. ❤️
Thanks man!! I'm 5'6 146lbs and got S bib and XS jersey

How are the duties coming into Canada?
paid 50-60$ on a 2000$ order, but this can change all the time unfortunately, super unpredictable!
the discount code was only $10 off, not 10%
Sorry it got reduced a few months after the video 😭
@@CharlesOuimet all good, thanks for the discount. I bought a PMCC jersey
what is your height and weight? thanks
i'm 170cm, 67kg and wear XS pedal mafia
Is that a ciele cap?
Yes! I love ciele, they are montreal guys!
No more expensive cycling jerseys and bibs for me. I am very satisfied with my Spexcel items for a fraction of the price.

better prices maybe for EKOI, but definitely dont look as good

absolutely hate these long sleeves up to my elbows, who cares about aero gains
not for everyone, but I love them!

If you have Rapha Pro, show it too!
Cycling Fashion is a thing :P What matters most is having the legs, but when you have both you look COOOOL :D
