(finally) got a chance to get out in the BoC kit. While not a long ride (1:45), it was long enough to get an idea of what these are going to be like. Pretty nice. The pad disappears (good thing), and not a hint of anything during the ride. The inseam is on the now-fashionable longer side, and they wrap my legs all the way down, including the gripper -- other longer bibs with the wide leg gripper band (I'm looking at you, Capo and Primal) can gap and flap with my particular legs. These don't. With the discount code from strava, they're well worth it. Without the discount code, I'd say they're
probably worth it. I'd like to see how these compare to Le Col, Ornot, and RedWhite, though ....
