But whats the attraction with Bibs?

1. Basically everything that should move with you moves and everything that shouldn't, stays put! 

2. You don't have to cut yourself in half trying tying the waistband up to stay where it is

3. It hides your boep (well, it helps with mine.)

4. You feel like a pro.

 

I only wear bibless shorts on the IDT where it gets so blerrie hot.  On the road or mtb I always wear bibs because you put them on and forget about it.

 

Talking about cutting yourself in half....I find them (bibs) uncomfortable after a couple of km's, kind of like "camel toe" uncomfortable if you know what I mean Ouch. Maybe I need to try some with longer shoulder straps?

when buying bibs you have to take the length of the straps also into consideration. I normally take a L but in bibs I take XL.

Assos S5 F1 Mille

Plenty... but they are worth it. The S5 Uno's are around R1.5k and also fantastic.

Adidas or No Sweat. Even Indola. They are all pretty good quality.

 

The Indola works well, I haven't got any problems with them. However my No Sweat hurts my butt! smiley36.gif How's Mathilda?

Yes, longer shoulderstraps should help, but I also 'fill out' my shorts quite well and the bulge helps prevent camel toe Wink

 

I find my Capestorm and Anatomics with, fancy blue Swiss inserts, are fine, but my Bioracer bibs do give me a bit of a reverse cameltoe (if you know what I mean Confused)

9 times out of 10 I wear a vest under my jersey which prevents the dreaded, and sometimes bloody, "joggers' nipple".  Not a cotton vest, that would chafe even more when it gets wet!!!  Else you could get some surgical tape and stick that over your nipples to prevent chafing.  Just be VERY careful when you remove them...
