With the end of a season comes time to retire bibs. Looking to try something new this season. Don’t want to spend a ton though as I think price is not an indicator of comfort in bib shorts—especially considering they all use chamois from 2 major companies. An example is anything from Pearl Izumi (te…

Since I have now tried a few bibs I thought I would share my experience. Assos T-Equipe S7: Have three pair and have riden for over three years. I love them and they are definitely worth the investment. Also worn on 550km ultra races. Rating: 9/10 Assos T-Mille S7: Have one pair for about six …

Should overweight people (I’m 5’10” and need to drop from 220 to 170 lbs) use thicker padding, or less thick? Any specific advice? I also seem to have sit-bones set very wide apart… any bibs/shorts that come to mind as being especially applicable to a “wide load”? Thanks!!

Assos sizing question: I bought some T.Equipe Evo bibs. I’m 183cm but I bought an XL which is indicated for 186-190cm. I can get them on but they are tight and the legs are a bit on the short side. Do you have to go two sizes extra large? I’m not world tour skinny but I’m also not a fatty. Are th…

Equipe are racing fit thus will be a little tighter than other models. Mille or Cento are more of a comfy fit. I am 189 cm and buy size S :smiley: and I even have NeoPro (Mille predecessor) in XS. The straps are long enough even for me so I think it is better to take your sizing from the waist and h…

Kit Addiction just started doing really detailed reviews of women’s kit on YouTube. She’s got one on a bunch of drop-tail bibs, and a bunch of individual piece reviews: [Nature Break Women's Cycling Bibs]

I’m 180cm and I wear a M in Assos Equipe. The new S9’s are a little shorter in the leg, but the Evo is the same as it always been.

[image] cricket1116: In no particular order… DeSoto 400 Mile Bibs Pearl Izumi PRO Pactimo 12 Hour Bibs I bought a pair of the Pearl Izumi PRO Air bibs because I found them on sale and the price was right ($175) for a high end pair of bibs. Out of the package, not too impressed. The shoul…

I don’t have the Air but I have some Pearl Izumi Pro bibs from last year (MSRP $210). I love the straps that are just lycra with no seams. They do just melt away and I feel no tension on my neck/shoulders. Best straps ever. The pad was awesome at first and for the most part I like the bibs but I ju…
