I have tried a few and most recent I bought these:
Logas Cycling Bib Shorts Men... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4KVHH2P...p_mob_ap_share They work well and can definitely ride as long as I want with them. Many factors to measure here, saddle/bike fit, ect. Overall I would recommend a try. I have branded bibs most recent a Rapha core that lasted 2 rides before de-stiching at the pad. I could not find the receipt so didn't send it back but it was not any better. My favorite brand is Suarez, they make some amazing quality "affordable" kits. Their best bib I like is around $100 and it's ages above many major brands. |

This is the problem, a pair of bibs that have already been worn, even once, are not worth 50% off and would otherwise be a donation item. And yet I see people on here still ask way too much in the classifieds for name brand bibs that were overpriced to begin with when they were new.

I have a couple of pair of Assos bibshorts that I acquired used and have probably worn 50 times. Love ‘em. As good as they are, I certainly agree that they’re overpriced at MSRP, though. I’m not paying that.

As a manufacturer of USA made jerseys, I get emails all the time - weekly - from Chinese manufacturers who want to send me their samples and make clothes for me. Some of them list their clients, big names. Do I believe them? Nah. But chances are good that some of these shops are making the clothes for brands we recognize. My point is that the stuff on Amazon may not be junk at all; it may be quite good, in fact. The problem is that there is no way to tell other than to try them for yourself (unless you trust the reviews). Well, I would definitely trust a fellow Paceliner like those who posted about stuff they tried. Heck, it made me look at those listings, even though I’m not buying.

Neopro is a good price and I like the chamois much better than Black Bibs (too big, thick, ungainly).

I am curious what $$ amount we are talking about for cheaper (no-name) bibs on Amazon? A good price is relative of course. I just got some Primal bibs on sale for less than $100 and they are great for me but I have bought them before so I now what I am getting. $400 bibs? Ha. No thanks.
Edit: I see the post above for Neopro so it looks like bibs in the $30 to $60 range. I would give those a try. Sounds like something you might wear in a nasty, muddy cross race and then toss them out. Last edited by tbike4; Today at 09:59 AM. |
