Good jersey for those changeable Spring and Autumn days. It's a comfortable cut and easy to layer as called for. With a thermal baselayer and and a good jacket, it works for cooler days (7-12C/45-52F) while dropping layers will allow you to use comfortably on warmer (15-21C/60-70F) days.
Got the red (PI calls it ketchup) and it fit well. The cut is relatively generous--I sized down from my usual size with other brands but the recommended size was pretty accurate. I like the fact there is no shoulder seam--makes the jersey sleeker. Pockets are good: they easily fit my phone, keys, rain jacket and the necessary snack for long rides.
Good pair of bibs, first couple of rides they are a little snug. After 3 washes and hang dried, fits nice and loosened up (still form fitted if you know what I mean). Pad handles 30-50 miles with no problems, haven't pulled a century but seem to be more than enough padding for long days in saddle. Seams of pad, I use chamois cream...period, no matter what bibs I wear. No raised or exposed stiches to rub.
On sale, great price, solid bib for training rides & longer.
Phenomenal bibs. I have two pairs of these, and compared to the previous (non-cordura) version, these are a step up in every way. Chamois is high density and exceptional for long rides (I've done several 200 and 400 mile gravel races in these bibs without changing out of them and had no issues at all), and the storage options are great. Highly durable (both in terms of wash durability and crash durability), and the straps are excellent and never dig into my shoulders. I find the leg panel fabric less stretchy than typical bibs, which leads to these being tougher to get on, but also leads to excellent support and comfortable, consistent leg compression.
For sizing reference, I'm 6ft and 165lbs, and I wear a Medium in these, as I do in other brands (Rapha, Pactimo, Black Bibs, Maap). These are perhaps slightly overbuilt for day-to-day riding (maybe? I guess?), but I still reach for them over all other bibs I own, regardless of distance or time in saddle.
