Was looking for a version of sun sleeves that would be a bit stretchier than my other sleeves (Specialized) and these fit the bill. They aren't as stretchy as arm warmers, which I am guessing is a function of the sun-shielding material, but they are an improvement for sure. My old ones tended to bunch at the elbows and would bind when I bent my elbows. These don't bunch much and allow for more movement, while still having good sun protection. The fabric also do seem to do a good job of cooling.
These are mostly a single layer of material, nicely trimmed on all edges. I'm not normally one to complain about tight shorts, but I tried a small first based on my measurements and PI's size guide, and they were really too tight, but the medium fits fine. I normally buy more premium bib shorts (Castelli), but PI is my favorite maker of jerseys and jackets, so I wanted to give these a try. I've had the non-bib Attack shorts for a while, and I like them, but I've seen the light and I'm using bibs exclusively now. The chamois is updated to be less bulky, but still just as effective (no fatigue after my last three hour ride), although it's still not as good as either level of Castelli's chamois (acknowledging that chamois effectiveness really varies for different people). Breathability is okay, but not excellent. The leg openings have been working fine for me, no issues.
I use these arm warmers between spring and fall, including cooler summer mornings or in the mountains. They are comfortable and even keep your arms warm in light rain, though they aren't waterproof. I like the left-right specific fit. I like to order a size smaller than what the charts might suggest, because I like a snug fit that will stay up after many uses. Even the size small has good length, which is not the case with some other brands. They may be a bit pricey, but I think they're worth it.
Really nice fabric, cut and quality with just the right amount of compression. As an older rider, I choose these for the higher scooped cut on the front suspenders. I strongly prefer the comfort of this on the bike over the current trend of a straight waistband that other bibs are using.
Great fit and comfort even in hot weather. Minor nit, I don't know why they don't have lay flat seams on the legs. At this price point it seems odd.
The pad is a bit thicker than I'm used to, but has proven comfortable. My best compliment is that I don't think about these bibs while I'm riding.
I'm 6'3" 190 lbs and the Large is a perfect fit.
