Nice demonstration. I am a fan of base layers for hot weather. I was having problems with getting sunburned on my back in the summer months. Now I wear a thin, breathable base layer. That did the trick, no more sunburn. I am amazed that most pros don’t wear base layers to protect them on epic races like the Tour de France. I’ve seen photos of their backs appearing cooked. On another note, I like cuffs on the ends of short sleeve jerseys, it just seems more complete to me.
That's a good point about the base layers in summer. Luckily most of my riding here in Michigan is gravel with tree canopy so don't have to worry about the sun too much.
Congratulations on the sponsorship ! That was quite a fashion show we were treated to ! Since you have a well proportioned physique, all the smartly designed kit looked really good on you, but I bet Thuong will look terrific with it on too. Unfortunately, my skin gets badly irritated by synthetic materials and I can only wear cotton , which cancels out any specialist cycling clothing, so I have to work around it somehow.
Thanks! I'm excited to see Thuong's reaction trying on the new kits too. That's too bad about your skin irritation with some materials. Hopefully you are still able to find stuff that works OK for you.
Loose at the sleeves are actually a good thing if you use a watch to record your ride. I often just use my Apple Watch Ultra for shorter rides and having room for the watch is a bonus.
Thanks a looot for this review especially checking S and M sizes as I'm also on the edge on both of these sizes :D ! I'm a big fan of Siroko. Price/quality ratio is just the best among all popular brands + design. Cheers from Poland
Thanks for the review! Could you tell us how tall you aez? Im 1m85 / 75kg, the website advise L size. Given your review, i wonder wether it will be too big for me! Thanks
I like the longer leg length on bib shorts. Yours look like a good fit. The SRX bibs on website do not show picture of chamois. That is one of the things I focus on first.
Spent to much on kit over the years. Now its just bibs under regular shorts and a exercise shirt. Maybe a smart wool base, Leg warmers and jacket if cold. Seems people are less annoyed when cyclists don't look like cyclists also. Congrats on your sponsor.

Looked like a cool set even without the paint tbh.
Thanks! 😊

Good point, I haven't used any arm mount devices yet

183 / 75kg. I use M for club fit and S for race fit, so large is definitely too big for you

Thanks! Ride whatever you're comfortable in. No need to buy expensive stuff
I have often looked at Siroko's shirts and bib shorts. It was a good product show.
Thanks! We've been impressed with their stuff so far
