Pactimo started their Black Friday sale today. Their excellent “12 hour” bibs are 47% off plus free shipping. That’s close to the best deal I saw last year.

Fantastic, and I grabbed a gift card for them a few months back at 20% off when someone mentioned it on the forum. Looks like I’m updating my bibs. Thank you!
edit: They have 12 different mens bib shorts I have to read through to work out which is likely the best for me 
. Looks like I’m going through their site in great detail today.

By the looks of it, the first model on the second row is not very confortable. Not even while standing.

Does anyone know if the feather weight flite bibs have sewn seam down the length of the straps or are they just bonded?
I have had the newer Rapha strap bibs come apart that were just bonded.
I’ve seen great reviews of the 12 hour bibs, but I just can’t get past the honeycomb. I tried the Flyte bibs during the last sale, but they were too long for me and I had to return them. Do you have a recommendation for their bib with the best chamois that isn’t long?
I think the 12 hour bibs have the best chamois. They are the only bibs you can get in the US that have the extra wide Elastic Interface Anatomic Gen 2 chamois.
I have 2 of them and plan to purchase more.
I agree that the honeycomb fabric is not for everyone.
Other than that I tried the Flyte but returned them.

fwiw I have the 12 hour bibs and hate them. The chamois is gigantic, diaper ish. I like the raptors (I think). they have so many different bibs it is insane.

Chamois are designed for specific purposes.
The 12 hour bibs are made for long rides where your position is more upright. They are designed to cover most people’s sit bones and reduce pressure there
I would not chose them for a crit race or TT, but I have no experience with their bibs for those types of rides
Summit Raptor are the bibs with the pad you are looking for and do have not the honeycomb fabric.
I went with Stratos Range bibs for gravel this year, has the big pad which I find is fine, but not my favorite, has the thigh pockets which are great.

The Flyte bibs I have are laser cut with no stitched seams or any seam.

The Ascent Vector Pro (must be the Pro) and the Summit Raptor share the chamois with the Flyte. I actually love the blue color of the Summit Raptor but they’re way too short for me. They have a long version in black which have worked well for me. The Flyte are my favorite bib from them actually because they are long. I’m tall (190cm) but thin so I wear Mediums and few brands make bibs that are long enough for me.

has an additional 8% back
Thats weird it shows for me. Maybe clicking the link directly without an account wont show it. If someone doesn’t here is a referral code for an additional $10 https://www.topcashback.com/ref/sleventoff
That link seems to work for me, but I didn’t want to give them my email
Interesting, I only just signed up for the account, but had verified it and turned off VPN in case that was the issue. Ended up ordering anyway (as lots of sizes are selling out fast).
Went with Men’s Summit Classic Bibs, although no idea if I chose the right ones for me. They have way too many options, and it’s really hard to work out which one is right, and which one is in stock.
So you couldn’t see it at all?
Looks like most sizes of the Pactimo 12 hour bib are sold out.
