I've been riding these as my only bibs this season. I only wear them and the hammer jersey I bought for my long weekend ride. Rode 70 fixed miles in 4 hours in these bibs and jersey and they are the real deal. Spec Toupe saddle, if you're wondering.
As for Hammer Nutrition, amazing stuff. I have no reason to rep for them other than my experience with their products and customer relations. I bought a 12 pack of their Gel, a tub of HEED electrolyte drink, and a tub of Perpetuem.
If you're wondering what I ate/drank over that 4 hours - not a single solid food and wasn't hungry at all. Perpertuem combines all your protein/carbs/electrolytes into one bottle, and then you hydrate with plain water in the other. So I sipped the 800(!) liquid calories in my one bottle, and then refilled with plain water during my gas station pee breaks. Never finished a ride that long so strong - never cramped up, no gas attacks, no terrible taste, and didn't feel wiped. I brought two gel packs with me and didn't even think about them. Ok, I think that's 'nuff said on nutrition products in a bib thread.

No solid food--no dueces

I can't stand bibs, I'm thinking of cutting mine off and adding an elastic. I'd rather have the very minor discomfort of a waistband than those suspender dealies. Full zip might be ok though.

Defensive...so defensive....
I assure you once again, guys, nobody is laughing at you in your lycra. Ride on, ride free.

Bibs really are the jam because they never move around no matter how much you're on/out of the saddle. Also I like to rock the occasional Craft baselayer with no jersey (no pockets), and you can tuck **** into the strap parts that wouldn't fit into shorts alone.

I am always stuck between a large and extra large. I suppose given my large posterior that an extra large would rbably be a good idea. --then again i am 5' 9" and weigh 190--so maybe large is better
In my youth I went to many a skanking pickle concert.

So fast to rip on me guys. If you must know I come from a street/trail riding/bmx back ground (20in) so thats where I got my start. Ive been riding for about 20 years. I recently got into road biking and since Ive never had a need for gears before I went with a single speed. I ride 4 or 5 days out of the week, so I do ride. And no I probably wont do a metric century. I dont drink coffee or own a massager bag. I wear whatever Im wearing that day. Usually some kind of cargo shorts or other shorts and have commuted to my job (10mi) a few times.
And yes, everyone thats not on a bike is laughing at people wearing these things and I could care less what other people think, but thats doesnt mean I go around wearing thongs either.
