I have always been a fan of the riding gear that State puts out through their house brand "Essor USA" especially the value for the money. I have several State/Essor kits and have ridden years and miles and the elastic on some lasts years- I don't race anymore but put in the miles and personally I sweat heavily. All my kits have stood the test of time and damaging sweat. These custom Endura Team bibs however have blown me away on just the try on before even hitting the road-they're true to size and feel premium. The bib padding is substantial and is the first bib I have worn that has gel even on the side of the gooch and up towards the inner thigh. Also, the straps actually form the x-shape of a racer-back outfit which I find to sit more naturally in between my shoulder blades than straps that run straight down the back from the tip of the shoulder. Last but not least the leg grippers are tight, without strangling my circulation and don't ride up on my legs when walking off the bike like some other brands I have used. I did also get the Endura jersey to match and it is very lightweight and highly breathable, mostly suited to warmer riding which is a much needed feature for me here in Texas. I hope they continue to seek out Endura at least for their custom team gear because this is a premium feel for a ridiculously affordable price! State has really nailed the combination of being on-trend with designs/gear, offering incredible quality and value and just having the best customer service in direct-to-consumer cycling companies with practically every item they sell on here. Proud to be an ambassador for them!

Love the fit and the padding in these bib shorts. State comes through again packing value into everything they make! Love these bib shorts
