But why?!?

Has the world gone completely mad?!?

I can't even get my head round the idea of bib shorts if you're a woman...but this?!?!

And the description of it?!

If I ever get the urge, I'll by some work overalls and cut the legs off...

It's a tailored skin suit...with buttons. I suppose that's one way to avoid any irritating seams at the expense of practicality.

And the description of it?!

This is the worst bit

[Cheeky Monkey]

Just another attempt to sell yet more sub standard that really doesn't matter.

Or how about some Enve pieces?

Insulated poncho, only $290?

While not a romper-wearer myself*, there are clearly quite a few folk in the world who are, so why not make a bike friendly version? Every other item of bike clothing seems to have been done in a "looks good at the pub after the ride" version.

That aside, I am far from an expert on women's clothing and sizing, but they look to have a wide range of fits and are making an effort on the sustainability front. Good luck to them.

*TBH, I reckon I could be tempted if I lived in Colorado/Arizona/'Straya...

Anything's got to be better than lycra though surely?

[Lazarus]

If there was anything then the roadies would be wearing it .

Dont really care what i look like on a bike* I only care that the clothing functions properly - that said it will be a very long time before i own a romper suit for cycling duties

* almost always lycra with waterproof shorts for the MTB

Ooooo, a bit of a balanced argument going here, I like it

I like the look of the enve pieces, though not the price tag....

My very favourite ever item of clothing are still my mid 90s powerstretch salopettes, very very comfy and fleecy and versatile for all sorts of activities, and have a very practical bum zip. Haven't seen anything like it anywhere since, dreading the day they eventually become completely worn out/unuseable.... has anyone seen anything like it anywhere by any chance???

[riderdown]

I had some winter karrimor fleece salopettes that were ace, for some reason they seem to have gone out of fashion and the original ones given away long ago

[In Reverse]

I like the garment in the OP. I don't see a problem with the description either tbf Definitely the sort of thing I'd see the youngsters in leafy south Manchester wearing.

Full disclosure: I own a romper suit of sorts, although it hasn't been worn for a few years and I think the crotch area may be in need of some repair

You would fit in at the WI.... if you add a tweed skirt.

Think I might buy one.

I've always thought it's just your wardrobe that's been holding you back Stu

[psling]

One piece mtb suits have been around for a while now, popular with the Enduro and DH riders in winter



Stu - if you search (apparently) crotchless suits are available; not sure how durable they would prove though...
