i really like the bibs...
i bought a pair of the bibs a couple months ago and really like them. I'll probably order another pair soon.
My first impression was that the lycra was a bit thin, but it has held up well to road and mountain biking (and handwashings in woolite). I now kinda prefer this thinner fabric to some thicker shorts i own. These shorts fit well and are really comfortable. The chamois pad is great in that there are no crazy, irritating stitch-lines running anywhere near the boys.
All in all, I think they are a great deal for $80 bibs. I'd give them a try.
