Soccer jerseys from Walmart are a lot cheaper and are made from a good wicking material. I weigh 235 lb and wear Sugoi bib shorts in size XXL - #1 priority is comfort, #2 priority is comfort, #3 priority is comfort. The shoulder straps stop them dropping below the beer belly and revealing the cleavage at the back. The opinions of non-cyclists doesnt matter. I just bought Shimano A520 SPD pedals because the small SPD pedals gave me terrible hotspots on the bottom of my feet on hot rides home. The A520s spread the pressure over a wider area - tried them out yesterday for 34 km at 30C.
