I have just recently purchased the below, they are great, comfy and such a great price.

These 2 together are such a great outfit and designed by the FDJ team.

Our club recently moved to Bioracer for kit - shorts are comfortable and look great

Le Col make really comfortable shorts which I got at the end of last season. The new sport shorts look really good, with a slightly different design and I believe an upgraded chamois.

The pro jersey is really nice as well. Very well made and comfy. And the new sport jersey is a slightly odd design but I'm told is very comfy. Plus its a british brand

If it fits and is affordable then it's generally a good bet.

There are very few 'bad' clothing firms these days, so its really down to fit and price.

good luck!

Do try out Santini bib. Have 2 of them and ever since I bought those, I have never turned to my older bibs, F2P and some other China bibs. Jersey wise imo it's all the same for me

Another vote for Torm jerseys, Sportful bibs and Nanoflex/No Rain. If you're not keen on screamy Castelli logos then Sportful is exactly the same gear at a lower price. That said, the Castelli Free Aero bibs are supremely comfy. Sugoi's bibs are also very comfy but size up on the large side.
