Bibs

[aicabsolut]

One of these days I'd like to try them just for the experience...but they are so expensive that it's not likely to be anytime soon!

That's kind of how I feel at the moment. My shorts are always much tighter around the quads than at the waist, though I do sometimes have but sagging too. I have curvy-ish hips or larger upper thighs for some boyish cut brands, and I agree that sizing up sometimes creates chamois issues.

With my long torso, though, I don't have a long rise.. my waist is low. So I do sometimes feel like cycling stuff is binding at the waist even if it's not super tight on me, because it comes up so high--makes it hard to bend over comfortably. Lower cut in the front would be more comfortable. Or eliminating the waistband issue. I'm tempted to try bibs but not THAT tempted yet.. one day I first need to find a jersey with which I could cover up said bibs. I have fit issues there too with my long, skinny torso and broad shoulders. I'd need a men's XS or something..

I just got these. I LOVE the way they fit and they are veryveryvery soft. But they are not for riding in temps above about 45-50 F (for me, anyway).
