We started with a long list of specifications but we decided using emu feathers in the chamois, or hand-dyeing them by the indigenous craftsman of Elba, were things we could live without. The result is the goldilocks of bibs: offering key features and style, made in Italy with uncompromising craftmanship but ours don't cost as much as a power meter. Dyed to cool lavender for an exotic base to build some great looks on top of.
