My wife wanted to purchase the Sugoi Ironman Kit before my IMFL last month and I told her no. Sunday morning she was at the store and bought the shorts and jersey. I am 63, 5'8" at 135lb and speedo compliant so there are no issues with shorts. These Sugoi's are the BEST I've ever had and Santa just brought me a Sugoi Tri-shorts for next year's races.
I can understand the comfort of bibs for some but they are simply not my cup of green tea for me.
My 62 miles yesterday felt like it never happened since I had my IM kit on.
