I must be an odd one as I have never had bibs that were comfortable over the shoulders. That constant pull on the shoulders just gets to me and I can't stand it after a while. In the century before the last one I thought I would try a new pair again and by mile 70 or so I stopped, took off my jersey and pulled the shoulder straps off, put back on my jersey and finished the ride in comfort again. Other than that they are OK.
