Bargain Bibs from Tenn Outdoors..........

[smokeysmoo]

Anyone got these yet and have a piccie of the pad and review of sizing so i can decide?

Not yet for me. I am hoping they'll land today but posty hasn't been yet.

No delivery here either. Fingers crossed for Tuesday.

I've got the bib shorts (bought from Amazon a few weeks ago). Three rides so far in a M size (i'm a 34" waist, 30" leg, 5' 9" height). Experience is thus:

- A little tight over the shoulders.
- Crotchal region is quite far forward
- Crotchal region is low, like teenagers wearing jeans low. Occasional snag on the seat.
- Padding is waaaaaay forward. Not on bumcheeks but nearer my coinpurse.

Overall: comfy once 'adjusted' (and i mean that in all aspects of adjustment) but a little uncomfy. Like wearing new leather shoes; you'll break them in, but it'll take a few rides before you do.

Mine have arrived. First impressions are very good.

They seem to be well made for the money, the sizing is good and the pad feels great and well positioned.

I've no chance to test them in the saddle until at least the weekend, but based on these first impressions they're money well spent IMO

Mine have arrived too. Again first impressions are good
I missed the postie and a neighbour passed them to me when I got back from a ride.
Can't comment on sizing yet 'cos I literally got off the bike, opened them and took some pix. Pad is 25mm at the thickest.

Mine came today and the sizing is on the slightly small side- I went for XL and found them quite snug (I'm a L in normal clothes) quick 10 mile blast in them seemed to do well- early days yet.

Further update:The pad appears as good as any I've used before. However as mentioned by others the sizing appears off. "Snug" is putting it mildlly.

I'll give them a call tomorrow and see if I can exchange them for a larger size.

Yes, one's codpiece does appear to have a rather defined outline, non?

Excellent service again from Tenn Outdoors. I've just sorted an exchange for the next size up without any hassle at all
They told me the Pro shorts are supposed to be a little snug (mine were a bit too snug but that's the trial and error nature of buying on-line), the pads are apparently thicker than some of their others.

I had a pair of tenn shorts with the same pad from halfords on offer , different to the ones i was one about pad wise and took them back as the pad edge was not flat stitched so it rubbed me raw.

Mine arrived yesterday, fit is excellent (for me anyway - appreciate we are all diff shapes and sizes). Went out today for an hour and a half, they were very comfortable.

You realise that the orange pad is on the inside? and that they were turned inside out for photographic purposes to show the pad? they are all black apart from the reflective shown in photo 1

Yes, but it still made me laugh anyway
