Squirrel, thanks for that excellent feedback on bibs...
I had never thought about the full length zip - of course! That would make it so much easier to attend ones "ablutions"!
And good to hear about the ASSOS bibs... I think for bigger busted women a strap over sports bra/crop top might be uncomfortable? But I have smaller breasts (and they seem to be getting smaller as I get more time on the bike done) and I think that it won't be a problem...

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

I had picked up some Castelli bib shorts from Sierra Trading Post last year when they had them on closeout (50% off - yay!). I find they are great for short bursts and wear them on the weekly shop ride, where I know p-breaks are not an issue. They are very comfortable, provide good coverage for shorter jerseys, and I've never had any problem with rubbing, chafing, or falling straps. Sometimes I wear an underlayer, sometimes not.
Are they better than regular shorts? Not necessarily. I wouldn't keep only bibs in my closet, but they have their place.

I just got a pair of PI 3d sensor bibs. Scarily expensive. Quite comfy. Chammy is not my favorite but quite nice.
But the best thing is how comfy it is when it's hot. Nothing at the waist. Fabulous.
So I wouldn't get all bibs, they're too expensive for what they bring. But they do have some advantages...
