Actually, I have a pair of "windstopper," very warm Hincapie winter bib tights that have a zipper at the top of the crotch area. It doesn't go down that far, though.
I don't think I would try the full-zone zipper bibs short, though.
The photo is cringe-inducing![]()
The idea is excellent - but requires really good sewing and design to work. Maybe they've pulled it off, I think I'd be too nervous to try.
My mountaineering bibs just have full-length side zippers, I unzip from the top down to about the knee for calls of nature.

A while back a few outdoor clothing companies were making mountaineering/climbing stuff for women with crotch zippers. They required a level of coordination and dexterity to use them properly (ie without getting soaked) that I'll never achieve. I don't know if they still make them.
I can't even imagine sitting on a zipper for any length of time.![]()
Yes, I totally understand why someone thought it would be a good idea to make natural breaks easier when for women who prefer bib shorts. But it freaks me out to even think about a zipper between me and the saddle.
The photo reminds me of the poor downhill skier who literally tore himself up in an accident a few years back.
"Cringe" is an understatement.
I'm fine with taking off my shirt sleeves and pulling down the straps, thanks.
If I had to strip naked from one of those bibs that goes under my bra, I'd prefer that to sitting on a zipper.

What kind of bib goes under your bra?

These. There was a thread about them (either the shorts or the advertising) a while back.

I think the splitter is supposed to go over your bra. (Or, that you're not supposed to wear anything else, like the model. At least, I think that's how the designers envisioned it.)

That model has significantly different bra needs than I do.
