Maybe by the time weather suits wearing my new duds, I'll have dropped 5 lbs. or so, and feel a little less like a snausage.
I got mine yesterday and tried them on. I had to check the size because there was no way the bib straps were going to stretch over my torso (size M). Managed to get them on but felt like I had a "wedgie" in the front. This can't be comfortable. Tried the ss top and this felt great (L). I'm a 43 suit jacket and this was dead on a great fit. I tossed them both in the wash and hung dry for my ride tonite.

After work, I slapped the Disco suit on and threw on some leg warmers, base layer and jacket (50 degrees at ride time). Took the cross bike out and did about 30 min road and 30 min trail/fire road. After the initial tightness, the kit stretched and felt comfortable.. The chamios didn't bunch and felt similar to my Performance Ultra bibs.

Overall, not a bad jersey and bib for the price ($80). Maybe I'll break the kit out for some team training rides, group/club rides and local non-uci practice crits.
