Nice bibs.

By joe4095288 October 3, 2011

Not sure why these have gotten such mixed reviews, I think they're a FANTASTIC deal ($50) when they come up on Bonktown. I have two of them and would consider a third pair. The chamois is the KISS3, which offers good midrange comfort. I don't quite understand why so many cyclists want insanely thick padding in their bibs. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just get a comfier saddle? It's a few extra grams either way.

I'm usually not a large in any clothing type, but DO size up on these. I'm 5"11, 155lbs and the large is a perfectly snug fit. They do run about an inch shorter than my other bibs. I can imagine anyone 6' and taller might begin to feel a bit exposed in these.
