+1 to that... on super hot days I may use shorts but 98% of the time it's bibs for me.

I spent the entire ride shrugging my shoulders trying to get them in a comfortable position but with no success. I also didn't like the shoulder straps rubbing across my chest every time I moved. I guess they aren't for everyone. I'll stick with my PI Attack shorts for now.
This may well be due to a brand or size issue. I would not abandon bibs based on one experience with them.
