The only thing keeping me from buying another pair is a vague longing to see if the Wicked Expensive Loius Garneaus are worth it- but they were fortunately out of my size last time, so I ended up with my beloved Sugoi RS Flexes (as recommended by Susan!!) instead.
My boyfriend tried to get a pair of RS Flex bibs (no bibs for women though) and we did every bike shop around Vancouver Island. They are no longer available and when we called Sugoi they said there will be no more until the next design. In the process, we also learned from a few people that the shorts had literally torn up on them. "Spontaneous tear" happened to at least two men that I know of. One of them got them for free from the Sugoi rep so he didn't say anything.

So anyway, that might be why they are pulling them out, because there seems to be an issue with the fabric this year. However, I have bought a pair (shorts not bibs) and I must say they are fantastic. However, I am not sure if they are THAT much better than the MEC pairs that I have (which are very similar to the Trashy Cat satin shorts), while they are twice the price. I need to buy a new pair again, I think they will be the MEC.
