Cons: At first, the tension on your shoulders is noticeable, you feel like you are wearing a backpack. If they are cut more tri style the urinal visit isn't a big deal, just dip the front or pull up a leg. Otherwise, you'll have to undress. The lack of a waistband can be a negative, at stops I tend to want to hang something on my waistband or slip my travel wallet in there - not a likely option with bibs. And, depending on the design they might be hot on a hot day.

Pros: Everything else. I love going hard with bibs, they hug everything just the right way.

The designs vary, try a few. I've found I much prefer the low cut front, shorter legs. Hi front and long thigh drop feels a little more like a shorty wetsuit.
