Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bib Tights

Want to pick up a new pair that would be good to maybe the mid-40's or so. I know most of you are already having summer but it is 52F and raining in Seattle today.

Realcyclist has a bunch on sale in the $70-75 range and was wondering if anyone has any experience/opinion on these.

Giordana Silverline Super Roubaix Bib Tight
Gore Bike Wear Contest Thermo Bib Tight
Sugoi MidZero Bib Tight
Zero RH + Leader Bib Tight
Pearl Izumi Select Thermal Bib Tight

Plus they have for $50
Giordana Roubaix Bib Tight

I have always had good luck with Pearl Izumi and Sugoi but have heard good things about Giordana, especially the Silverline gear.

Thanks

I've had good luck with the giordana sugoi and pearl isumi stuff I've had. I can't recall I've actually tried giordana or sugoi tghts, I do know both make great shorts and jerseys

I love my LG Pro Feel bibs. They retail for $100, but you can get them from Nashbar for half of that.

Giordana seem to stretch and wears thin very fast - there's a reason they always are on sale. Sugoi are probably the longest lasting and well made of the ones you mentioned. PI are good and the company keeps refining and improving their products - there's a good reason why they are one of the best sellers

I use the 3/4 bibs for around 50. The Merino wool is great in the wet weather.
