Clothing yes and its bee the best kit ive ever had, shirts are great and comfy, worn pretty much everyday for about a hear and only now showing signs of wear nothing more than a few loose stitches and fraying lycra
 
I have bought a few bits from them.
Be careful with high end stuff, it can be fake but checking the sellers feedback quickly shows this.

Also watch out for import taxes, depending on what you are buying, you may get stung.

I've got one item from there - it's a blatant copy and the black/red is becoming charcoal/orange. I wear it to the gym and sweat my a$$ off in it and it does fine. The only thing I'd say on a practical note is that the pockets are noticeably smaller so you can't get as much stuff in there and I wouldn't trust it to stay in.

The website is essentially a marketplace for whole host of shops - as said above, keep an eye out for the feedback; albeit taking those with a pinch of salt as they can be made up too I guess.

Thought I'd give AliExpress a gamble after reading this. I normally just buy my dhb jerseys/shorts off Wiggle.

Ordered a jersey/shorts set, some sunglasses and a saddle bag. Took about two weeks to arrive. Jersey is slightly on the small side but the shorts are perfect. They are more than likely fakes, but doesn't bother me and I doubt fellow cyclists would notice as they pass me either. Seem breathable and comfortable to wear. The padding on the shorts are better than anything I've ever bought off Wiggle (albeit I've never really splashed out for the good stuff!) Saddle bag is great too - cost me half the price of what was advertised on Wiggle/Amazon.

Things like helmets I wouldn't necessarily risk though.

Overall, quite happy to continue buying the odd bit of clothing from there...

Old thread I know but just looking at a cycling top on Aliexpress (comes with shorts I think but I don't actually want them). I know the risk is that it might be shoddy but I am ok with that. I know it is 'fake', but as it isn't actually trying to be a branded top and is just something a bit amusing that tickles my sense of humour, that also isn't an issue.

My big concern is payment. Looks like the transaction will be done in US dollars, how should I do this? Paypal doesn't look like an option and I don't want to do a bank transfer to China so I guess this just leave the good old Visa creditcard? What are the risks of doing this?

Any experiences from other forum members that have bought (and paid) through Aliexpress?
