Yup I've replaced all my bibs & jerseys with road/speed suits. I wear the Santini Genio C3 Skinsuit for training/general road riding and the Castelli Sanremo 4.0 Speedsuit for crit racing. The Santini is more of a road suit than a skinsuit. Benefits are you're always guaranteed to be matching, no bib straps to dig into your shoulders and if you're in the 'dad' bod category no jersey to bunch up as you lean over. They are also very cool to wear on hot days, especially the Castelli. If you a different size top and bottom they won't work for you though.
