Giordana Laser Bib Shorts - anyone own these? What size? Reviews?
I've come across a few different sizing charts for Giordana shorts and they're all conflicting.
I'm 6'3", 175lbs, 33" waist.
What size do I get? Any personal reviews on these?

I have a pair and they are okay. The material is VERY compressive. Sizing is a bit wacky. I'm 6'1 and 180 and the large was entirely too small. The XL fits properly and gave me enough length in the bib straps.
Sugoi RS Flex bibs are the best I've worn in the last few years.

They're OK, but only OK. Waaaay overpriced for what you get. Honestly, I like the team Hincapie and Champ Sys shorts far better, and they're less than 1/3 the price.

Really? I have some Champ Sys bib shorts and I think they're a little on the cheap side (quality) but they were also cheap price wise. If you're liking the Champ Sys better then the Giordana must really suck.

Thanks, I'll check out the Sugoi.

The fit on my latest bibs is much better, higher quality material, and the pad is slightly larger and thicker.

Yeah, the new (this year's) Champ-Sys shorts are a lot better, though I've never owned any of the old stuff. Hincapie's still my favorite though.
On an unrelated note.... goaliedb, you're on my team haha.
