    Size matters

    I'm with Oakleaf, I want to know whether the size chart BlackBottom publishes is true and accurate. I found with PI, Descente, Terry and Shebeest that they are way off for me. In fact the only size chart I've ever found to be accurate is Etxe Ondo's.

    GreenbeanVW- did you buy men's bibs, or do they have women's?

    I'm also looking for baggie shorts that really fit. My experience is the inner short fits and the outer short is tight. If the outer short fits, the inner short is too big and the chamois bunches up or cuts into my inner thigh/pelvic floor region. How are the BlackBottoms?

    I bought the Millcreek Canyon bibs, which have the same 8-panel Amara chamois as they have listed in the women's shorts.

    The bibs arrived today and the small fit just fine! I normally wear a medium in Shebeest and PI, and a small in Sugoi. There is minimal padding in the chamois, but I don't like a lot. They seem to be a good bib, especially at that price. The only thing I don't like is the ultra shiny material, but I can deal.

    I was all set to order but when it showed shipping charges of $15.00 for a sale priced $20 pair of shorts I decided I didn't really need them.

    Wow I didn't realize shipping was that much! I live just a few miles from where it was shipped, so it was much less than that. Ouch.
