First of all, thanks everybody for the kind words about the bibs.

The difference between the regular and deluxe are this:

Regular uses standard stitching, Deluxe uses flatlock stitching which lays flatter against the skin (and the flatlock stitching comes in a variety of colors).

The upper on the Deluxe uses a nicer lycra/mesh. The regular uses just lycra.

The Deluxe is cut a little lower in the front in the stomach area. Possibly making the Deluxe bibs slightly cooler in hot weather and a little easier to pee. But if your stomach needs more support, then the regular style might be better.

Both styles use the same Coolmax multidensity seatpad (midweight) and both use the same lycra fabric for the shorts portion.

Hope this info helps.
