In market for Bib Tights
A couple of months back, I bought my first bib shorts (Nashbar brand) and instantly fell in love with them. The biggest advantage for me is their pad doesn't slip to the front which is a complaint I have for most of my shorts. It drives me crazy that the pad doesn't stay in place.
So now I am considering getting a pair of bib tights with chamois and looking at this:
Nashbar item
and THIS
Anyone have experience with either of these?

If you don't mind advertising for Hammer Nutrition, I highly suggest their bibs at www.hammernutrition.com they are a great deal and all I wear now. If you PM me I'll give you my customer number which will knock off 15% off your first order.

"Big" and "tights" don't belong in the same sentence

CardiacKid: I know, I realized the spelling mistake after posting the thread. I could not edit the thread title (still don't understand why?)
woodinville: Thanks for the offer. I don't like to wear clothing advertising cycling industry though.

Id suggest buying bib tights without the chamois so you can layer appropriately. I went through this last year myself and ended up just wearing summer bibs with tights over them. Gives you more options for layering.

JayC: I do have two pairs of tights (not bib-tights) already and I really hate it when they continue sliding down. Hence bib-tights.
Oh wait: I don't think I understood what you meant. Explain a bit more?

If you meant Bib-Tights check out ebay. I've bought a few pair on ebay at a great price. I believe ecycling ebay store is a good place to start looking.
