Do you wear the straps under or over a base layer?
If its under, surely you get a draft up yourself?
And please, we don't need to rehash the whole lycra/baggies thing.

Straps over whatever is underneath my jersey.

Straps over base. Helps prevent joggers nipple too.

At last someone has asked the question to ellicit opinion that I have always been too proud to ask- I was wearing straps under but may go over for tomorrow morning

Under - the waistband of my baggies grips better (i.e. is less prone to slipping down) against my merino base than on the smooth surface of bibshorts. Of course if I'm riding on the road (without baggies) then that isn't an issue so it's just down to what I happen to put on first.

never really thought about it but when I do wear bibs (only at the track, I'd be crazy to wear something as expensive as bibs outside), I pull the straps over my base layer.

Tights with baselayer tucked in. Bibs always made me feel like someone was giving me a wedgie. Still...considering trying some more bibs.

under for sure.
Not so much fun when needing a wazz.Posted 2 years ago # -
Straps over base layer when riding, but if that's all you're wearing and you ever give me a lift, please reverse them! A mate did this once and it was like being chauffered by big daddy!

Straps over the base layer - first time you get caught short for a trailside dump you'll realise why!

i wear mine under but only use one strap so i dont have to take any thing off have a pi55

Straps over the base layer always. Much more comfortable - that's what base layers are for.

depends on how cold it is. Sometimes the draft is welcome.

Base layer first. It's designed to be worn next to the skin.

Yet another vote for straps over the base layer.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Base layer first then straps over it.

Presumably there's going to be a matching Chat Forum quesiton "Pants - inside or outside trousers?".....

over jeans, its the only way!

Straps over base, always.

This is a classic thread. I can't believe people need instructions on how to wear shorts.
I suppose they all have C & A written on their underpants as well.

There are now some 'lady' specific ones that have an unzippable arse panel for ease of 'access'. Maybe some of you boys need to get a set of them. I've given up wearing bibs simply because of the faff quotient trying to go for a pee. And please, nobody suggest a 'She-Wee' or I'll have to get 'that' photo out again!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Straps over my base layer. You do need to preempt the need to pee though!

Did see a bloke on the Burgess Hill Spring Sportive this year wearing his bibs over his jersey. So very, very wrong.

"well i was going to do some work/shopping/clear snow but there was a thread on STW....."

under for sure.
Not so much fun when needing a wazz.I think wazz must mean something different where you live, although I admit it would be difficult to crack one out while wearing bibs under a baselayer.
Oh, and always under for me, never thought about it really though.

Depends on what mood i'm in, but i don't really give much of a toss.
