Question for the ladies...

... I knew all you men would look !

I am looking to purchase my first pair of bib tights for the winter. I just have a small concern about toilet stops. Do they accommodate this or is it just a matter of stripping off and basically taking them off?

Thanks in advance :-)

I am fairy certain that for women you need to do a fair bit of stripping off.... Even mens' ones are a challenge for a pee as many have a zip that does not come down far enough

I bought a pair recently and find them very comfy. Haven't been out long enough to require a toilet stop but I would say you would definitely have to slip the shoulder straps down and pull them down as normal

I'm afraid so, yes (certainly the cheap and nasty ones I got from Aldi are like this).

^^ I now have a pair of Rapha and DHB bibshorts and, yes, you do need to drop the whole thing for a toilet stop. A baselayer under the straps and you only expose your rear whether indoors or outdoors

My DHB bib tights arrived today. Didnt have a huge budget so these seems perfectly adequate for the money. Looked very short when i took them out the packaging but one tried on fit really well. Very pleased with them - the only thing is that I seem to have DHB printed on my arse cheek not sure if this should have been further up but the fit of them is perfect so will happily put up with it !

I didn't realise that sep1988. I'll try mine on again and have a proper look .

Yeah I think they do have the DHB on the arse. Useful to put all the layers except the thicker jersey layer under the jacket under the bib straps- then you have less to peel off to go the the toilet.
