The Black Bibs: feedback?

I actually did a video about them a month or so ago, if you want to see the full thoughts:

Short version if you don’t want to watch the video: I wanted to love them, I heard great things about them online, and they didn’t work for me. The fabric was actually the part I was most nervous about and impressed by: much smoother and better feeling than I expected. The stitching was good. The chamois just didn’t work for me at all, to the point of I gave up like 20 min into a workout because I couldn’t finish it. It was physically further back than any other chamois I’ve ridden. It felt like the chamois was behind my butt. Very strange.

I also bought one of their summer jerseys for indoor training: very light jersey and it fits me well. I like it quite a bit, but it smells on my more than any other jersey I’ve ever worn, even in like 10 min. I suspect it’s just a body chemistry thing between me and that specific fabric, but it’s got a smell I just can’t stop.

Bib: Great for the price if they fit you. Jersey: Pretty good overall.
