Have also recently tried the Entry versions and they are pretty good. The 'The Bib' are even better again, and are better value now that the AUD is much stronger against the US

Good to hear! I rolled the dice and bought 2 of each which meant I got 30% off by buying a "team bundle". That brings the price per pair down to roughly AUD100, which makes it more palatable.

The bundle discount really makes them very good value.

My other bibs are Pearl Izumi, Tinelli and Dhb, and the fit and comfort versus The Bib is chalk and cheese.

My older gear is wearing out, (you know it when rider drafting drops the hint
you have suspected after last couple of washes.) - ie transparency r's end lol.
Hope to find them as you do and pick up some extras also.

Only had time yesterday for a 2 hour ride but that gave me a perfect opportunity to compare The Entry with The Bib. For the first 90 minutes The Entry felt almost identical to The Bib in terms of comfort, although towards the end of the ride I had to adjust position a couple of times to stay comfy, but nothing untoward, and much better than the other bibs I own. So, the extra padding on The Bib will definitely provide a benefit on longer rides, but nevertheless The Entry is a really comfortable bibshort for general riding.Retrobyte wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 8:26 amDid a 2 hour ride in The Bib yesterday evening and I can understand now why these bibs get such great reviews. I'm kicking myself for not getting onto these earlier. The size suggested by Yuva based on my height, waist, and weight is spot on - XL (I'm 180cm/90kg with a 36" waist). I found myself not having to adjust my riding position for comfort reasons at all during the ride. Will be interesting to see how the less padded model The Entry compares, when I give them a spin tomorrow on a longer ride.

I use The Entry now primarily for the commute to work and majority of gravel rides (a stack wont cost as much), and The Bib are used for longer w/end rides.

trying THE BIBS out.
Yuva can expect an order if suitable. A conversation while riding y'day revealed acquaintance
was wearing r/w's The Bib, gave very good reports also.
Edit added - the XXL's arrived and tried on today, on my 183cm 101kg they are certainly race
tight, reckon they'll be OK on the road. Will find out tomorrow
By comparison, are a little tighter than my XXXL Castelli bibs.
And - quite long in the leg, would be 30-40mm longer than my average bib shorts,
at an approximation.

were worn and would probably be the best I've used. A sore R/H side of r's over last week
remained comfortable = Very impressed, the tight fit was spot on when riding and the apparent
longish leg length yesterday was seen to be closer to about 15 to 20mm longer compared to
other bibs = no probs. Like 'em, will buy more, won't bother with ENTRY BIBS, THE BIBS are
the ducks nuts
(600km+ this year)

Will try to get a local (riding mates) team order together, four pair or more for 30%
discount is my understanding, makes the bibs even better (more affordable).
Been handwashing/drying daily for last three days, the "go to" bibs now.
ps...Email yesterday, Red/White has just added a XXXL sizing in their bibs, until that
the XXL was largest fitting I saw.

If 'The Bib' can be bought for $120 (factoring in the 30% off bundle), this sounds like a bargain??

How does one get the 30% off?vbplease wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 1:16 pmFrom reading these reviews it sounds like 'The Bib' is on par with the top of the line bibs e.g. rapha, assos etc which are approx. $300 for the top quality ones.

Might have to leave it for a while though.
Just bought a smart trainer. Don't think I'd survive that too.

You don't have a money tree too?
I've been hanging out for a smart trainer for a while and wouldn't mind 4 x new pairs of redwhite bibs..
I'm currently riding a $100 exercise bike on rainy days until we finish our house renovation

Yeah not doing any better here either.
Going to be working away on call for 8 days at a time. It's that or no riding.
