Anyone Still Make Bib Overall?
I bib overall always seemed like a comfortable alternative to a racing
suit when training. Toko used to make a nice one, but now their nordic ski pants are regular pants with suspender, which I don't find as warm or as comfortable (I think bibs do a great job of keeping lower back warm and loose.) Can anyone suggest an alternative? Thanks in advance, Jon |

Places I might check right off are reliableracing.com, akers.com and
eagle river nordic (enordic.com). If they don't have anything, they might know where to look. Gene wrote: I bib overall always seemed like a comfortable alternative to a racing suit when training.

Wow!!!!!!! $ 250! I am constant amazed at how expensive some of the Craft stuff is. Don't get me wrong, I buy it (usually at a deep discount) and love it, considering it essential cold weather gear. My local shop just had its entire Craft stock on sale for 50% off as a special 5 hr New Years Day sale. Like JT suggested Giordana, Pearl Izumi and others have a line of lined cold temp riding bibs (usually discounted) you might want to consider. I think Assos and a few other high-end companies also have something, but I'd pick the Craft stuff before I spent the $$ for those brands. - Bob |

Some other places to get bike clothes and also Craft stuff at discount are sierratradingpost.com and gorhambike.com (which is also a local ski/bike shop in Maine that does mailorder too) |

Thanks for the input.
I actually tried on that Craft piece and didn't like the way it fit (felt appropriate for someone in a crouched over biking position, but not for a xc skier.) I did find a sort of bib (has suspenders, and a high back) from Halti, but sold out in my size ("Domain" pant)--don't know why you don't see more Halti in North America, seems like nice stuff (perhaps they should sponsor more curious, gear obsessed, skiers who write on newsgroups.)
