that's quite a line up, what made you decide to start racing?

IMO the mtb jersey sizings are close, I went with a XL last time and is a bit roomy. Will get a Large next time which is my usual size for short sleeves. Medium for long sleeves.
What are you typically wearing now?
iv done a couple in the past and had a good time, just got into it last year and decided to give it a go for a full series to see how i do.

Yep, it ain't pretty. The original is enough. But good effort nevertheless.Unfortunately, this is the view behind @Fire Marshal Max on every ride, no jersey necessary!!!

sounds like someone needs to invest in a pair of bibs :/
no i just wear bibs, but i dont see a problem with wearing shorts over them, i used to do this with the regular (non-bib) shorts all the time. . . . im just past the point of having any loose clothing getting caught on branches, thorns, seat noses ect while riding . . . . . YMMV

I seem to tear and damage my stretchy pants when in the woods, is the only reason for overshorts
i havent had the issue (except due to crashes) but it makes some sense, i sometimes think about how the most expensive clothes (bike specific ones) i own get treated the worse, then i start cringing and have to go find a good distraction (or beer )

Guilty as charged. I was hoping the bib would not slide down as the short liner did, you know, because suspenders/straps. Unfortunately they did nothing to alleviate the old man's balls syndrome...halfway the ride my inseam is reduced to about 12 inches...contemplating going with no liner nor bib and see how it works. I can do 1 hr no stop on the stationary bike with just a little discomfort during the last 10 minutes so I am hopeful.
over the front. they aren't that high in the important areas.

Really? I thought you had to pee yourself in the bib. What is the absorbing pad for then? Now I am perplexed!
