I've been wearing Bib shorts and tights for over 20 years. I still have a few old Kucharik regular shorts with natural chamois that I love, but new technology bibs with proper sized inserts are by far the best from a health and comfort standpoint. Most of the major manufacturers make Bibs now. Prices from 40 to well into the hundreds. I've found that Performance mailorder shorts work as well as any. Usually they have a 2 for under a $100.00 deal that's hard to beat. I've also found more comfort from Bib tights that have stirrups rather than a zipper or just elastic at the ankle. Something else I've begun doing in the past 8 or 10 years is wearing two pairs of light summer bib tights on 20 degree days, rather than a heavier pair of winter tights. I find I'm just as warm with more freedom of movement.
