Agreed. I have several jerseys. Again, none of them have Italian dish soap logos on them. None are skin tight. It is possible.
I've never owned bibs but I get it. That waistband thing is a drag. Keep in mind that the sun hitting skin tight synthetic clothing will heat you up like the surface of Mercury. In hot weather, skin tight synthetics may "handle" perspiration better than cotton but it is going to make you sweat more than necessary.
Well, you were mocking riders for wearing kit, I didn't know you were against logos or team sponsor names. I don't mind graphics but I don't have any team clothing. It just wouldn't fit. I also don't wear "skin tight" jerseys. Too fat for that. I wouldn't mind wearing a jersey with an Italian dish soap logo on it if I had the physique for it and I liked the look. Some of my clubmates look sharp in team logo jerseys, even in their 70s.

I also have never worn bibs. I have used various brands of Lycra shorts for about 40 years, even in 110+ weather. It's over 100 for weeks at a time during summer here.
