I'd been using bibs only for about 5 years and recent went back to shorts. Late winter I suddenly developed a contact dermatitis reaction to the bibs I've been using the past few years.
What I had always disliked about shorts is how the elastic band went right across my stomach. I managed to fix that problem by pulling on the shorts then folding the waist band down over itself. I wish I thought to do that years ago. I may not go back to bibs now.
