This is my second pair of BBs - my first pair is nearly 4 years old and wore incredibly well. For the second pair, I opted for the better pad and side/rear pockets. I really like the blue color, white shoulder straps, leg bands and the more comfy pad. The only caveat I have is having to order size 2XL - I’m 6’, 182 with wide hips and can wear an XL in some other brands. Simply near perfect bibs - well done!
