I have 2 of these ( http://www.cellbikes.com.au/CELL-Pro2-Cycling-Jersey ) and REALLY like them, they fit well and aren't showing any wear after more than a year. EDIT: oh and the short finger Cell gloves i have are very good too, and their knicks are the most comfortable i've ever worn.

They aren't the greatest, it's true. But you may have missed this bit... They cost $15.

I bought a few jerseys and bibs from cycling monton. They're better than expected, quality is what you expect when you're paying $40 for a jersey and bib, but at the same time - you're paying $40 for shorts and a bib.
Did a fairly tough 100km yesterday (classified by strava as extreme) and it was comfortable enough.

Be careful about sizing though. I'm usually a medium, but was warned about sizing and checked out their size charts. According to their charts, I'm a large so I ordered larges. To be honest I probably could have gone XL in the jerseys, although L will do. I'm 5'11 and 65-70kg, so by no means would I usually order an XL jersey!

Thanks for the heads up. Sounds similar to Mupi?

I'm around the same height and weight as you and have several Monton kits and find medium is right size for me

Yeah Monton bibs are great, I'd happily pay twice the money for their bibs. Only complaint is that they can be really slow at getting stuff shipped out, even when you pay for express EMS.

Use the size charts they provide. Sizes tend to run small, you may need to order one or two sizes bigger than usual.

I have placed about ten orders withem now, the only time i waited was when i ordered a thermal kit(3weeks) as they made it and didnt have in stock. Never pay for ems as it will not change how quick you get it as most of the time when you oredr a kit (as long as its in stock) you will have it with in ten days.

Not to get in a slinging match - I know experiences can be variable - but I've had two orders from them and both didn't get shipped out for over 10 days. One was for a pair of shades, the other was for a few different kits. The shades took ten days, the kit took 21 days. They were quite evasive about the kit - they insisted it had been sent, but no events were lodged against the tracking number. I got quite frayed about the situation, lodged a dispute, and when Paypal finally said they were going to refund me, WHAM an event got loaded on the tracking number and I had my gear in under a week. Even given that experience I'd still deal with them again, their team kits are solid and the prices are unbelievable really. Their sunglasses are crappy knock-offs and overpriced, though.

I had a similar experience with them and like you it wasn't until I opened a PP dispute did the goods miracliously arrive. Waited about 50 days for a thermal jersey. I have had several other purchases from them that have all been ok, a bit slow in receiving, but ok. Could be the fault of the postal service.

I'm 188cm (6'2") and 99kg so I think I will go with your sizing! Can I use your name too for VIP?
