Bib shorts

[DooDah]

DHB are excellent budget bibs, but buy a size up, I bought some medium and they were way too tight and the straps cut in. I normally take medium, but the large fit fine. They must be made to the Italian sizing, not for us British fatties (no offence intended to any British person who is not a fatty).

Just goes to show that everyone is different.
I find them on the larger side compared to Italian sizing's.

Just got a pair of these http://www.onetenapparel.com/bib-shorts-knickers/primo-bib-shorts not worn on a ride yet but they feel very comfortable and they look the dogs dangles, they got a great review in Cycling plus last year too.

Impsport all the way for me, good value and nice spec. made by cyclist for cyclist and the experience they have gained over the years doing the GB kit gives me confidence in a great kit. I would rather buy direct from the manufacturers like these than give lots of middle men a cut.

My Imsport gloves lasted me about 6 months, they were decent but I was expecting a bit better than that!

I don't suppose you could snap a quick pic of the kit? I think that I'll go for the bibs and jersey but Zipvit don't have any real pics of it up. Cheers if you can

this was an xmas prezzie the quality feels good for the money

 

[DooDah]

I seriously like the look of this kit, I like the prices as well. Bainy16, is the kit comfy, and what is the sizing like?

 

[bainy16]

not been out it it yet just put it on to get the photo but feels really good this is an XL i'm 42" chest and 15 stone not sure what the web says about sizing but if they say XL is 42chest then its spot on

Thanks @bainy16 Jersey looks great, it looks a bit looser on the arms than I'd expected and I'm now wondering if I should have gone for a short sleeve jersey with arm warmers instead. It's been ordered though, I went for the LS jersey and bib shorts so hopefully it's as good as everyone says it is.

Thanks for the pics

My current pair are on their third year, and still look like new. Mind you I only do 100 miles per week, but they also go through the washing machine once a week.

Got my jersey and shorts in the mail today, *very* tight fitting - that might be because it says 'Made in Italy'. The long sleeve jersey kept me warm in 1C temps tonight but the bib shorts were very very uncomfortable. I had to re adjust them every 30 seconds, they were so bad that I'm considering returning them.

Sounds like too small. Get next size up.

Shorts sound too small. If the jersey is not restrictive, then IMO it is the right size. I like jerseys as tight as possible without being restrictive.

 

[Deleted member 20519]

Yeah, the jersey wasn't restrictive but it was tight, it kept me nice and warm so that's a plus. The shorts seem to come down to my knees and surely a size up means that they'll be even longer which I don't particularly want?
