Bibs with a zipper in the crotch? That's awesome!

Looks just a little like something from Fredericks of Hollywood (or whatever those old porny stores are). It may well be very functional - but

Now I'm gonna have nightmares.

Now I'm gonna have nightmares.

Me too.
Just thinking about it!....the riding on the zipper factor...the possible zipper 'failure' mid-ride (just imagine it splitting open as zippers are sometimes wont to do!)....the 'zipper hygiene issues'....hairs getting caught....the seam right down the middle of the chamois
....and that photo!

It's just so wrong.

Ouch.

I think the Castelli bibs have lost their top spot in the splitter division.

You know that scene in "Something about Mary" right in the beginning when he gets caught in Mary's bathroom before the prom..."We got a bleeder". It could happen! It's all fun and games until the skin gets caught. I'll pass.

I've had ski or mountaineering bibs that had that feature... and have some base layers that hvae the full crotch zip as well.

I get that if you're climbing everest or up on some mountain being able to use such a zipper's probably a lot more comfortable... and it's probably cold enough, it's not like hygiene matters...

But I can't say I see why it's necessary for biking
