Greetings All -
I ride in Louis Garneau CB Carbon 2 shorts, and I like everything about them including their compressive features. They also make them in a bib.
I've never experienced bib shorts, but I've been thinking they might provide enhanced comfort. For example, when I eat and drink a lot on long rides, on long rides, I sometimes feel the waist band of regular shorts cutting into my abdomen a bit. Maybe a bib construction wouldn't feel that way.
So here's the weird question: How does one take a leak when wearing bib shorts?!
Out the bottom of the leg opening is a non-player because of the aforementioned compression. I'm assuming that pulling the waist down wouldn't work either because of the shoulder straps structure. Or am I wrong about that, is there actually enough flexibility to lower the waist area for that function?
As we move into cold weather, lowering the straps off the shoulders isn't a good option as the bib will be under layers, and I certainly wouldn't want to do all that "undressing" for just a quick stop in the trees off the side of the bike trail.
So there it is, poke fun to your heart's content
But I'd really like the gouge in order to decide whether to spend the big bucks!
Many thanks!
