Shorts
 
Does anyone know of a brand of shorts or bibs which have tighter than normal leg grippers? My bird legs need some help!

Choose an italian Brand. They seem to be made with the "Slimmer" torso in mind. If you get the right length- they will be tight on the circumference.

But short fitting is an art- First find the store that has a vast array of Bibs or shorts. Choose about 4 or 5 that by appearance look as though they will fit. Do not be happy with the first pair you try on. Then when you have found the size-make and model that you like- take 3 pairs of the "Correct" size into the changing room. You will soon find out that there is a difference in manufacture on the same size. Then as you have found out this fact- try another couple of makes that you initially liked abd try them again in the 3 pairs of the same size.




Then go back to the first pair you tried on and they'll do.


Learnt this from taking my daughters clothes shopping when I was paying. It must work as they always look stunning in the clothes that they wear.

Castelli. Italian, as mentioned by stapfam.

Try some of the better DeMarchi bibs. I have one pair ($120 and that was the sale price :eek:). The leg grippers are a little snug compared with my other bibs.

My Sugoi shorts have very tight leg grippers.

If I had that issue, I would call Kucharik. He would know.
