Voler Elite FS shorts/bibs?

[Becky]

Thanks!

A pair of each (shorts and bibs) showed up last night. The Trilogy pad is definitely more chamois than my Terry Bellas have, but it seems to be wide enough across the sit bones, which is a good thing! I'm hopeful that it's going to work well on longer rides or multi-day rides.

The fabric of these shorts is soooo soft and silky. I think it's going to be really nice on hot, humid days. These are my first bibs too, and I'm afraid that I may be spoiled now

I'll post more thoughts after I've had a few rides in them.

Ahhh, bibs - so nice across the tummy! I bought those bibs for our team kit. My friend bought the regular bibs with the thinner chamois. She won a TTT championship, and the State Champion kit she got for her win ( she had to buy it) was the Voler elite with the Trilogy pad. Now she wears those bibs almost all the time, her very favorite too. Enjoy! Tokie

+1 on bibs! I finally get a pair (not Voler) and am in love with them! It is so nice to not have a waist band on the bike and now I don't want to wear my other shorts...

See, this is what scares me... I have a pretty decent collection of shorts that may now go un- or under-used

My bib shorts are only for my long/longer rides and my 1 remaining pair of shorts (that I haven't cycled myself out of yet) are for my shorter and recovery rides. It helps.

Weight loss is great, but MAN it gets expensive where cycling shorts are concerned!

How is the sizing on the Voler bibs? I wear a medium in my Pearl Izumi PRO bibs. I noticed on the Voler sizing chart, that I fall into Medium for my height, but my waist, hips, & chest fall under a Large. I'm guessing I should go with a Large?

My Voler Elites are size small, and a pair of PI PRO bibs just arrived as well, also size small. I think the PROs are marginally shorter in the torso than the Voler Elites. "Width-wise", they feel the same to me.

Voler has a really good exchange/return policy, so no worries there!
