Sorry for another "clyde shorts" post...
I'm 6'2" and currently 246. I have been wearing XXL Voler bibs and when riding they feel great. They are a little tight and stretched some. I am super comfortable in them though. Now that I have been riding to work, I was using baggie shorts for a while, but went back to the bibs to do an after work ride more comfortably...
My question is, how tight should they be and where should the pad end? I see pros with the pad way up high. On me the pad falls short of the frontal package and it is pretty obvious where the parts are underneath. I haven't tried a larger size bib because I think the length gets longer and I don't want them to be too big.
Anyone else seeing these issues? What size Voler bibs do you wear and how do they fit?
Should I try some of the big specific bibs mentioned lately?
