Anyone use this company Cycling-Monton before? I'm pretty sure these are fake kits but wondering how good the quality is at $50/kit

It looks like good stuff and if the features list is true/accurate then it should be reasonable quality too.

I'm always interested in the quality of the pad in the shorts - although they claim it's a COOL MAX pad so that should be ok.

Only problem is that there's only one way to find out for sure - let us know if you get some.

The top might be okay, but the shorts/padding could be really bad.
I bought a pair of under shorts from Hong Kong and the padding was like a humongous nappy and that was the small size! I wore them once and threw them away.
They also claimed to be Cool Max.

Yeah I was thinking of just going for the jersey. I find decent shorts hard to come-by and at that price you have to wonder 🙂

Bought several sets from them over the last few years, it's all been as comfy and long lasting as any 'real' kit I've paid more for here in the uk from bike shops. Only bought bin shorts and jerseys though.
