Voler Sample Shorts & Bibs

[SouthernBelle]

OK! I have now actually ridden in them!!!

I have several thoughts. I think that what we got from the sale is not what you would normally buy. These were sent out to the teams they sponsor so they are light weight and the chamois is rather minimal. The chamois's (chamoises?) shown in the catalog for women's shorts are not what we got from this sale, at least in the short. The women's in the catalog is called 'Diamante', the one in my short looks more like the 'Torino' except it's black rather than gray.

I've been wearing PI smalls, and the Voler small was true to size for me. FYI I'm 5'5"+, 126 which is heavier than what is stated in their chart.

I was ok with the chamois, though it's not what I'm used to. I would have been a little more comfy with some butter and perhaps some gardening

The leg band was a little snug, but they always are in new shorts. So I'll reserve judgment on that.

HTH,

I wore this short on the MS150 last weekend and they are fine, not great... but which shorts are great... I haven't found them yet and I have many different brands... no complains... I like the material.

I wore them again last night with the chamois buttered and was quite comfy. We only did about 20 miles though.

I've come to the conclusion that bibs are great!

Less padding them I'm used to (and maybe would prefer) so the sitbones are a little more sore than usual from my ride. Otherwise like them, especially for the price!

Don't care for the gray see-through part but I'm not wearing anything underneath anyway so you can't really tell

Does anyone know of a bib short with a little bit more padding?
