    After I got my first pair of bibs I was a convert! Yes on long rides it does take a little longer to potty but I don't have to deal with the annoyance of shorts the roll or bind due to the elastic waist. Plus you just develop the technique of getting them off. When my friend got hers as part of her team kit she knew why I had been telling her for so long she had to try them. Another convert.

    I have the 2010 PI drop bibs and like them a lot but may have to try the 2011 because I would not mind if they were just a tad easier to "pull away." I have not had any fears of ripping them.

    The 2011 version appear to be cut just a tad smaller than the 2010 in case that matters. At least the small size appears to be.

    After using bibs on races regular shorts just didn't feel good. I prefer to take more time answering the calls of nature, than loosing the bibs awesome fit.

    I really like the Twin Six women's bibs I got from fatcyclist.com (the ones Fatty sells as xmas gifts). I think they cost around $80....worth every penny! I can hardly stand to wear shorts any more when the bibs are dirty.
