I am having a hard time finding bib tights and bib shorts for women. Can someone direct me to a site or store? I'm sure a men's would be okay but aren't women's made for their shape specifically?Thanks!

Check here. (http://www.teamestrogen.com/categories.asp?catID=25)

I just wear Voler men's bibs. Seems not many companies make women-specific bibs. Love bibs for comfort; hate them for potty breaks!

Both Castelli and Descente make them. Fabuoso! The Castelli fabric is lighter and cooler, may not survive crashes as well. Descente have a nice fit, slightly less expensive, and have a super supportive nice lycra fabric.

Everyone's derriere is different but I definitely prefer women-shaped chamois. Additionallu, the straps on women's bib tights are also shorter and strategically placed so they don't rub a very delicate portion of your chest.
Check our sponsor, they may have both brands. Craft may also make women's bibs.

Bib tights can be great in the summer if you want to show off your sports bras but not your love handles!

For tights, I use plain white elastic suspenders if necessary. Back in the good 'ol days :p , bike shops stocked suspenders.

Rivendell has suspenders.

I have one pair of bib tights - Castellis. I only wear them for short rides. They're very warm and getting them off to use the bathroom is a pain. The quality of the ankle zippers is pretty poor. Granted I have mondo sized calfs, but you'd think that for what I paid for the tights, they would stay closed. I haven't worn them at all this season.

Well, leave it to Rivendell to have them. But what good is it if you can't get RED ones?
