Michael, I like Boure synthetic bibs for long rides. They have thinner pad and good placement. They have worked best for me on warm (60 degree plus) rides. The Ibex bibs work well in rain or cooler temp long rides. The Ibex have a thicker and larger pad than the Boure bibs. The wool bibs wear out quicker, maybe 5000 miles or so of hard riding. I have had horrible luck with Woolistic shorts and bibs, they consistently wear out after maybe 1000-2000 miles. Not worth the cost in my book. I live and ride in Northern California and Oregon. My bars are usually a good one to two inches below my saddle so these might not work as well for upright riding.
