I'm so glad that Pearl Izumi has addressed the issue of bib shorts for women. We simply have different needs than men. The rear port for use when nature calls is much appreciated. I also like the pad which has no indentations to affect comfort. The fabric seems up the Pearl Izumi standard of excellence.

I wanted to write this review for a Pearl Izumi jersey because I know a lot of women like myself who have large chests (mine is 42") and it's difficult to find a bike jersey that will fit properly. For reference, I'm 5'3" and 190. I buy a lot of Pearl Izumi brand clothing (cycle shoes, bike shorts) and have had great luck with them. I find that Pearl is pretty sturdy as well as stylish and comfortable.

I purchased this particular jersey in XX-Large and found that it fits great. I tried the XL which was just a bit too small and pulled across the chest. The XX-Large, however, fit fantastic and I have plenty of give for moving the arms around and so forth. I bought the safety orange mainly for visibility purposes but it actually looks so great in reality that it's become my favorite jersey to wear. This is a case where the picture doesn't do it justice.

I've also purchased other XXL Pearl Izumi jerseys and they all fit as perfectly as this one did. That means that the sizes are consistent across the board with Pearl which is good to know.

Placed it on my Time Trial Bike(Triathlon bike) by cutting the lower tube straps off flush with the bag except for two segments of velcro---Marine Epoxied to the bag and the opposing velcro segment Marine Epoxied to the frame of the bike Top Tube in the adjacent/complimentary  positions.....So that now I have more Aerodynamic-Streamlined-Stealth Pocket 100 Bag!!!! It now looks sharper and is, in fact, more aerodynamic than the original strapped bag!!!!! ....as there are now two less straps to aerodynamically deal with and it is more useful and more secure from a security point of view(in my opinion),in that, I can remove it(the bag) and put it in my pocket at a moments notice easily,quickly and confidently!!!!!My local bikeshop guys even asked me to explain to them how I mounted this Pocket Bag as they thought it was an innovative application and had a customer who was interested in the same application for their steed.

Coming into this purchase, I had never owned or even tried on a pair of bib shorts. I really wanted to upgrade from my pearl izumi shorts. The quality of the fabric and the chamois is excellent. I wore this bib on a 50 mile ride recently, which would typically be enough to give me a sore "gooch". I had no discomfort during the ride. Not only does it feel great, but this bib looks awesome too. I love the combination of different materials going down the side of the hips. The leg grippers with the logo are top notch as well. One thing to mention is that the actual product is manufactured in Peru, not in Italy. They snuck that one by me.

Because one can increase the size of the type, I am able to go to the gym, put my Kindle on the Eliptical and read while I exercise, hands-free. Now I go to the gym almost every day and exercise twice as long because I can happily read uninterrupted. I have lost eight pounds in two months--effortlessly!!

I bought one for my husband even though he said he didn't want one ("I just like the feel of a book in my hands.") He got over that in about five minutes. We travel a lot which was our main reason for buying Kindles--no longer hauling satchels of books, we can read the same book at the same time and have our own mini-book club discussions.

Whatever little technical or billing problems which have arisen (almost always our mistakes) have been instantly solved to our satisfaction by the helpful and friendly staff.

We also think of it as the paperless GREEN way to read...we are drowning in books at our house.

Having worn dozens of bibshorts since they first came out in the late 80's, I can honestly say these are the most comfortable I've ever worn, including Pearl Izumi, Giordana, Desente, and Louis Garneau. Really high quality chamois which makes a huge difference on those 40+ mile rides. The compression lycra leggings improve my metrics by increasing venous return to the heart, thus increasing cardiac output and wattage. Nice subtle details in the stitching behind the thighs which are reflective from behind, inhance safety when pedaling in low ambient light. The shoulder straps are not too wide and stay in place. While I may not be able to outsprint Cavendish or climb like Contador, or for that matter our local Cat 2, in these shorts, I sure as hell feel like I can. I will definitely be getting another pair. As for sizng, a medium fits me like a glove. I am 5'10", 160#, with a 32" waist.

At this point in time, I almost race and train exclusively in Pearl Izumi (I'm open to sponsors if you are reading this!!!) I have this top in the dahlia and in the black pinstripe. I do prefer the dahlia because the pinstripe pattern on the black top is a different fabric isn't as flexible as the rest of the fabric and it does ride up a little bit.. however it isn't an issue when paired with the matching shorts because those have a high back to prevent skin showing. I wore the pinstripe black during IM AZ in combination with the in r cool shrug and it was perfect. The top dries fast and is very flattering. It stays on snug without being too restricting and I don't have to deal with tugging it down ever. I also like the sleeveless top because it has a lot of coverage on your shoulders and back from sun exposure. I wore the dahlia top during a bike accident in 2012 and while it wasn't at top speeds, the fabric didn't tear through (but did get scuffed). The letters on the shorts are starting to peel off, but I haven't seen that on the top. I wear a Large and I have 5'9" and 150. I usually wear a medium in tops from Express or Target.

I was seeking the Bib with pockets and Dickies still has them - as opposed to zippers and such. I had a pair of Sears for many years and when I went back to replace them - No Luck, Bid design changed, so I camo over to Dickies and I'm Happy.

Package arrived almost a week early! I do not like how most cycling  bib tights or otherwise wrinkle behind my knees and get funny folds and are always to long for my 28 inch inseam. So on advise from a female cycling partner I purchased these bib knickers in a size smaller than I normally wear. They fit like a glove and no wrinkles. I will remember this trick when I order bib tights again.

I've been using this stuff for a year, with proper fitting bike shorts and I can tell you that life is so much better with this. A bit more then a year ago I decided to add riding to my experience regiment so I bought a decent hybrid and tossed on my compression shorts and thought I was good to go. Well, a couple weeks go by and I'm starting to get a little raw. I'm pushing 8 to 10 miles on the bike at that time and figure that it was the way the seat easy hitting me. I bought a decent pair of entry level bike shorts in hopes I could reverse thibgs and continue to ride. Holy crap was I wrong and things got bad. Lets just say that even walking became and issue for a while. When all was healed up, I immediately looked up the cyclinh blogs and saw Chamois Butt'r mentioned often along with proper shorts. I was sold after the first ride. Fast forward a little more then a year, and I've upgraded the bike, the shorts to full on race bibs, and am training for my first half centry. I use this product for every ride and feel that it helps me on my 40 - 50+ mile weekly distance rides.

Superb solution to Shimano's lack of market research for the the needs of their aging customer base.

I don't think I've given a product a five star review before -- but this jersey deserves it. I am super-pleased with this piece. The cut is great for cyclists who are not whippet thin, the fabric feels great and the 3/4 zip provides a perfect balance between warmth and breathability. I'm also very pleased with the orange color -- very visible for riding the streets, but looks better (to my eye) than the fluorescent green ones. Keep up the great work Pearl!

Warm and fitted precisely describe these bib shorts.  These are great Fall/Winter/Spring bibs that also offer rain protection with the nano technology  offered through Castelli.  I just received these and have only worn them once in 30-40 degree temps heating to 48 with 12 mph winds.  These worked great!  I was warm without getting overheated and the chamois is so comfortable, it's like not having one at all.  I have a long torso, so getting the bib straps on and off is a bit of a contortionist exercise, but once they are on the bib shorts do not move.  I feel like these are like a warm second skin due to the racer fit and may take some getting used to.  I really like them and look forward to more days in the saddle with these.

This bike is awesome! I have a medical condition that can make me very lightheaded and it can be hard to balance, so having a bike that allows me to go slow if I start getting my symptoms is great. Almost every time I rode a regular bike, I got these symptoms and couldn't enjoy my ride. Since I got this bike, I haven't had my symptoms at all while biking! I also added a handicapped license plate onto the basket on the back and, since doing that, cars have been very patient with my slow speeds.

The bike pedals much more easily than I expected. I'm actually able to coast pretty far on the slightest incline, which is nice. You will not be able to bike as quickly as on a normal bike. I went out with my husband once so far (he was on a regular bike) and he said if he had to go any slower he would fall over. Something to keep in mind when planning travel times. I also really love the big basket - I was able to haul a big bag of cat litter and a big bag of cat food (40 lbs total) and didn't even notice the weight!

I have only had two issues. One was with the seat. The seat that I got was not usable - it kept tilting back and forth while I was riding which was extremely uncomfortable. It turns out my seat was just defective - I contacted Schwinn and they sent me a new one a few days later and I haven't had that issue again. The other issue is easily fixable. When attaching the secondary chain, the directions say to leave 5-7mm of slack. That is too much slack! Keep it tighter than that because it can loosen as you assemble everything else. If it is too loose, the chain will fall off if you hit a large bump. So just make sure to keep it tight.

I am an all-weather bike commuter.  I purchased this jacket to provide better rain protection and it does the job nicely.  Like others, I was confused by the picture that shows both the jacket and bib pants.  I did end up purchasing both and am very happy that I did.
