I personally love bibs and you never have to worry about the rise. Yes, they are a pain in the butt when I have to pee but oh so comfy!! And they are easy to get off in the summer with sleeveless jerseys, just pull the straps out the arm hole like removing a bra from under a shirt. My favorites are some Exte Ondo ones I got off Sierra Trading Post. The fabric disappears, I feel naked yet it supports the legs. I only like a custom sleeveless jersey I have, so no help there.
