I agree Luis, The bad news is that I had all these partial-zip jerseys before bibs came along. Now I have four full-zip jerseys, but this is compared to 40 partial zip ones.

I'm 5' 9" and 160 lb. so I have shorts (Pearl Izume, Voler and Giordanna) that fit fine, and are wearable with partial-zip jerseys. That said, I really prefer my bibs (Giordanna, Hincapie, Santini and Pearl Izume) for centuries and double centuries. Much more comfortable over the long miles!
