This is my first try at spandex cycling clothing. I have issues with sun exposure, but sunscreen is out because I hate the goopy feeling and I sweat it off. So a typical ride lasts longer than the sunscreen. I was wearing nylon hiking pants and a long sleeve polyester shirt, both rated UPF 50, for cycling. But they would get drenched and I flirted with heat exhaustion a few times.Got the long sleeve jersey, long sleeve base layer and pants from YKYWBIKE and came back from my ride (yes, long pants in hot weather) completely dry! Frequently during the ride I'd feel a gust of wind and immediate cooling from it through the clothes - I'd NEVER felt that with my old setup. I'm sold. Can't tell about long term durability yet, but everything looks good so far.As for fit, the sizing chart when I ordered is worse than useless. The letters for measurements are wrong, the descriptions seem right, but the measurements themselves must be for the pants themselves, not the body measurements for the person wearing the pants. So you really can't know if they'll fit without knowing how much they stretch. My actual body measurements are a 34" waist (even though I wear 31" jeans), 39" hips, 28" inseam to top of ankle and 9.5" around above my ankle bone. Take those numbers and try to figure out what the sizing chart is trying to tell you. Makes ZERO sense. (And BTW, what is 1/2 hip and 1/2 waist? Even if it's the measurement across the actual garment unstretched, the numbers still make no sense.) I hope the chart is fixed when you order.I took a wild guess and ordered an XL. Fits nice but the legs are a little long. I can pull the pant legs up and distribute the fabric so there is minimal wrinkling. They work and I'm happy. Note that I'm riding a recumbent, so I can't comment on the saddle pad.This would have been a 5 star review if the sizing had been straightened out.
