Those bibs are made to use with the SMP saddle... which doesn't contact the body where it would be putting pressure on the zipper. I can't imagine that anyone would be dumb enough to wear those while sitting on any other saddle.

I can see that these bib shorts would only work w/ the SMP saddle - but I have a brilliant zipper bib short solution. I own a pair of bibshorts by a German company called 'Protective' - the zipper runs down the back & stops just below the small of your back. If you squat down you can just pull them down - works really well if you have lots of clothing on your top 1/2 so can't easily release (& more importantly - re-attach!) bibs w/ 'buckles'. Best of both worlds - the pad is brilliant & I think they come in longs too. They are so comfy (& solve the notorious toilet problem without any disadvantages) I will likely get a 2nd pair & also some longs. I got them from the Edinburgh Co-op which is the only place that sells them in the UK - don't know if they are available in the US - but if demand was great enough, I am sure they would find a distributor . . .

I have this vision of a pedal/cleat locking-type system, only with shorts and saddles. Like that scene in Contact where Jodi Foster is getting into the pod-chair with the special suit. Originally Posted by Andrea

I had that thought about wearing them with that particular saddle, but if the shorts fit properly, the zipper's still getting pulled up into your parts. Originally Posted by Andrea

That was too funny! Btw, I thought all cyclists' bodies are completely hairless, maybe this will start a new thread
