NeoClassic M
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
Bought a M - I'm 5'10, 165lbs, and most regular weeks ride about 150 miles. These bibs are snug! Not tight, just good compression. There is no banding at the legs which leaves me curious to see how the material will hold up - will it roll, fray, or become loose from stretching. Like other bibs, the shoulder straps tend to slide because my mother blessed me with slope shoulders (ha!). Otherwise the length of the bib is perfect. The padding is good and feels wider than most, covering the sit bones nicely.
Comfortable Bib Shorts
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
Out of all my bib shorts, including various Giordana, Castelli and other LG products, these are my favorite to ride. I ride an average of over 200 miles (320km) a week, at various speeds and regardless of what type of ride I'm taking, these feel great at the end of the ride.
I've worn these at least 10 times before posting this review, and am pleased with the craftsmanship and quality. I am 5'10" and 157 lbs, and am content with the medium, which hugs nicely without leaving marks on my skin post ride.
If you're looking for the ultimate race aero bib, maybe these aren't your thing, but here in the Florida heat of summer, on the flats, on rides that average 26+ mph, they've served me well.
Update after several months: I'm afraid I have had to reduce my opinion on these after several months of wearing multiple copies. The stitching on two pairs has failed. Also, the side panels, which are gray, allow a lot more light through, as my legs have tanned in those areas, which I have not found with other bibs. Finally, the leg grips curl uncontrollably. I do put these through the wringer, but the quality needs improvement over the long haul.
