I’m in dire need of new bibs. (Gore discontinued their bibs, which was my go-to for years.) Two of the brands I’ve seen mentioned are Neo Pro and Black Bibs. Neo sells only a unisex style. Does anybody know if their chamois is actually comfortable for women? Black Bib lists their inseam on the Ultimate Bib, and it doesn’t seem like a long enough fit for a taller gal such as myself. But the price seems to be too good to pass up and a (male) friend says their stuff is very comfortable.

Any other suggestions for a US-based rider? I may end up going with something I can order through the shop, but wanted to see if there was anything else.

I’ve used lots of the fancier bibs out there (Velocio, Rapha, Maap) and I keep coming back to Voler. They’re really well made, last forever, and the newer women’s bibs have great straps for no-shirt-removal pee breaks. Obviously bibs are a highly personal thing, so I’m happy the Voler bibs are comfy for me. At rides over 3 hours I rate them the same as my Maap shorts - that DO require shirt removal to pee, and they are much more comfortable than the Velocios, which do NOT require shirt removal). So if the formula is value+comfort+pee friendly, for ME, the top-level Voler bibs easily top my list. Good luck in your quest!

Thanks for the rec! I’ll check out Voler. I honestly don’t care about any new-fangled construction or bib strap innovations. I barely ever need to undress on a ride and full zip jerseys make that not an issue for me.
