These bib tights are certainly not the cheapest on the market, but boy they are comfortable!! They are nice and warm on cold Scottish mornings, yet I don't overheat in them (not sure how they manage that!). Also the padding is fantastic. I do a 90 minute commute (one way) to work on the bike and my first time wearing these was the first time I didn't have a sore rump on arrival. Riding home was the same - zero discomfort down under! I've not yet tested the water resistance but regardless of how they perform in that department, they have already won me over. Regarding sizing, I would personally err on the side of going up a size if you're in between sizes. I'm a size small in most things, but opted for a medium based on other reviews I'd read and I was glad I did. It might be worth checking your actual measurements with a tape measure and using the Enduro sizing guide on their website for reassurance. (That's what lead me towards a medium),
