[image] SDen147: I typically like a good compression in the private area to keep my bits secure. Does anyone have any other recommendations that have good compression in this area I bought a pair Velocio ultralight bib tights. At 5’10” 165 lbs the med is very tight. They do have a free return…

Green is tricky as it can show sweat like crazy. My rapha forest green bibs get pretty stained in summer heat.

I just bought, and quickly returned, a pair of Rapha Pro Team bibs because the chamois had the density of a used kitchen sponge. I also like a firm chamois. Specialized SL and La Passione have been great for me.
