Subject: RE: desoto 400 mile shortsI've done a handful of HIMs, couple IMs and I really enjoy century rides.
On my tri bike I tried pretty much everything and ended up using exclusively Orca 226 shorts for all the tris.
Going into a 200 mile, one day ride, I wanted to find out what all the hoopla was about bib shorts. Got a pair of 400 mile bibs. I honestly didn't see much difference between those and the Orca tri shorts.
FFWD to this year when I'm doing a lot of road bike stuff. HOLY COW there's a difference. I've tried Specialized bike shorts (top end and second from top end ), 2XU bib shorts and broke out my 400 mile bib shorts again.
After starting in on 2+ hour rides on my road bike, I just received my third pair of 400 mile bib shorts.
If I start in on 2 hour rides 4-5 days a week, I'll pick up another pair or two.
If I get back into long rides on the tri bike, I'll switch back to the Orca 226 shorts.
