I wore these for the first time on a 45 mile gravel race and they were wonderful. The weather was all over the place, with a mix of sun, clouds, and bitingly cold winds. The temperature regulation always felt just right, I never got hot or cold with these bibtights. The drop tail feature was great! I've always hated having to take off my top layers to go to the bathroom, especially at a crowded pit stop where time is an issue. I love how high up in the front the bibs came and how soft and stretchy the bibstraps were. The nightshade color was a nice change from black. I like dark colors, but have grown tired of the standard black or navy options, so I was excited for the dark purple. I paired it with the puprle Unlimited Jersey and they looked fantastic together.
