i'll give the 4d bibs a try

trying to get used to the pryzewalski 4d bibs. ordered large size as i always have with the 3d bibs.

the 4d's eliminate the "extra" material in the front so no creases but maan, are they tight. haven't gained any

weight since i started using the 3d's but seems like i should have ordered xl. the 4d pad is fine and comparable

to the 3d. the 4d's also add an extra inch or so of coverage down the thigh along with a really tight seam circling

around the thigh. leaves a noticeable impression for quite a while. keep thinking they'll loosen up a little but

worn and washed all three pairs (and line dried) a few times now and no dice. keeping them as they may be incentive enough

to drop 5-10 lbs and see if it helps (doubtful). will probably just relegate them to rides under 50 miles/local stuff.

when i'm going out all day or on a long ride, i'll be reaching for the 3d's instead. will not be ordering the 4d's again.
