Cargo Bibs and a Technical Tee?
I don't suppose anyone here has yet bought into the idea put forth by Rapha - cargo bibs with pockets and replacing the jersey with a lightweight and looser fitting technical tee.
The idea has merit completely apart from the company which thought it up and what anyone thinks about their products. A tee is more socially acceptable off the bike but more importantly, bibs are inherently more stable than a jersey and contents would not bounce on rough surfaces as much.
I think it is a great idea for gravel or bikepacking and would be tempted to try them if I thought I would get use out of them. They are rated to 30°C which isn't going to cut it during Georgia summers.

Cadence made a similar product, the Adventure Bibs, but they seem to be out of business.
Anyone know of something similar?
