*sniff* Fave bib knicks have changed..

[Catrin]

Catrin, how good are the drop tail bibs? I've been pondering getting some & want to know how easy they are to use.

Ozrider-Nice to know someone else agrees!

Perhaps Susan O might be able to enlighten us on why they keep changing the styles?

I really like them a lot. No waist-band - which is very nice in the heat and I do not notice that I get any hotter in the heat with the little extra bib material. Once it gets to 90F and higher temps I don't think it matters - though I am really interested in the new material PI is using for their P.R.O. bibs. I wish the legs were an inch or 2 longer, but that doesn't matter.

As far as the drop-tail part, those are easy to use after the first time or two. I do find that I am more likely to stop and use the bushes with these more than regular shorts. To be honest I've never stepped behind a tree with regular shorts but I will with these so that helps. It did take me some time last year to get brave enough to do that...

It did take me a little time that first time to figure out how to use the drop-tail, but it likely comes easier to someone who has "nature" experience in this matter

I am thinking the new technical material in the more expensive new P.R.O. bibs might help with heat rash on my thighs - the material is said to be no hotter/hold no more heat than white fabric, and reflects the sunlight rather than absorbing.

Susan - are you going to carry the new P.R.O. PI bibs? They aren't inexpensive, but you carry other expensive bibs...I would love to support TE on this purchase.
