Default help me choose between these two !

Currently i am slightly uncomfertable on my saddle. I have sugoi shorts (cheapy bibs) and i have a fizik pogio saddle. I am trying to choose between getting a new specialized toupe saddle, or a pair of pearl izumi 3d bibs..

which will bring more comfort?


P.S. my existing bibs are slightly loose on the sides , they stretched after i wore them in... not a huge factor, but thought i would mention it. whichever one i dont get now i will get later when i have a little more cash, but i thought i would get myself something for a early christmas gift!


Thanks!

1. I like my bibs snug, but not so tight as my boys get smashed.
2. Spending bucks for quality bibs bibs is a good investment.
3. Verify your saddle is properly adjusted, might be as simple as that.
4. Saddles are very personal, there is no right or wrong one.

Start with the shorts. Cheaper... sometimes. Then find a saddle on ebay. I got my tri saddle for $55 to me door. A $110 saddle. Not bad.

Bibs are good so your ahead of the game already. I have sugoi and they sit,worst chammy i've ever used. PI attack bibs are pretty good bang for the buck and they should be pretty tight as not to shift around.
