Where do you try on different brands and styles of shorts/bibs? My LBS has a limited selection - they carry a lot of Pearl Izumi styles, a couple Bontrager styles, and that's about it. Another bike shop in town (the one where I bought my bike, actually) has a few mens' clothes and next to nothing for women. Do you have favorite online merchants with generous return policies? I hate to commit to buying shorts I've never tried on, as a lot of styles are an immediate NOPE once I've got them on. And I don't really want to waste a whole bunch of money in shipping, either.
I wonder if there are any subscription bike clothing services, like StitchFix, where they send you a selection of different things and you pick if you want to keep any or not. That should be a thing, if it's not already!
