Why a bib? (MTB)

The short answer is Bibs, and if budget is not a concern I would say go for Assos.

 

I have done 2 Epics and many more races and rides in mine and have not had a single problem to date.

A good fitting pair will make your worst ride more enjoyable.

Assos Millé, the endurance shorts.

 

Brilliant.

[The Ghost]

Great, thanks.

I see CWC have stock

[BushGoblin]

if you have some dollars to spend then Assos, otherwise go with Giordana or Santini ( 2 top brand but not as expensive). Try get them from CRC ship it to someone in the UK returning or travelling to SA.

Rule #53

// Keep your kit clean and new.

 

As a courtesy to those around you, your kit should always be freshly laundered, and, under no circumstances should the crackal region of your shorts be worn out or see-through.

The same site states:

 

RULE #18 // NO ROAD JERSEYS OR LYCRA BIBS WHEN RIDING OFF-ROAD.

Cyclocross is a middle-ground. Best to wear cross-specific kit: skin suits only. No exceptions.

 

Mmmmm, seems people here disagree

I reckon they mean that you are not meant to ride MTB with road branded lycra, eg road team replica kit etc....

I reckon the rules are also very much tongue in cheek ....
