    I've got some Team/Club bibs that are great. I think they call them the FS Pro bibs and I also upgraded the Trilogy pad. I was hit by a car last year and flew over it and landed on my back/butt/hip and they were still in great shape. I'd buy again.

    Voler makes good / solid cycling clothing. Their shorts are good, bibs good and knickers very good, Their jerseys are *very* good. They are a California company ... so think local. They are also very easy to do business with, they send a return envelope with the purchase, and make it very easy to return / exchange. They are also very consistent with sizing once you figure out your size you can expect the next purchase to fit the same.

    Also highly recommend looking at the sales items / last years and pke around the site...etc. I definitely recommend them.

    Good call, guy--thanks. I got 4 pairs of their Forza Pro shorts. They're great--nice compression and no chafe. I later ordered a pair of their FS Triton Trilogy pad knickers--just as nice. Fast, easy ordering and shipping.

    Do you find you have to size up like with Castelli and the other euro brands or are they more true to size?

    Not so much especially not like Castelli. Plus as mentioned once you get your size down they are very consistent.

    Great question. I'll try some jerseys later. In Castelli and other "euro" or "pro" fits, I have to go from an XL to a XXL. Voler's chart looks like I'd be fine in a XL. They have paid, no hassle exchanges and returns so getting your size dialed is no prob. The size large shorts I got fit great, better than my Pearls (same size, large). I'm done with Pearl shorts now that I've tried Volers.
