Design:
  The ThermoDry Bib Knicker is designed with a mesh back panel
and a low-cut front section which provides ventilation. The
garment is assembled with flat-stitched seams and multiple
ergonomically cut panels to facilitate a natural fit. The inside of
the knickers have a lightly brushed interior to facilitate warmth.  
The knickers also have silicone leg grippers to keep them in
place.
       
We liked
  Getting the correct cut of a knicker or a tight is a tough thing to
do, and quite frankly, not every company gets it right. However,
Bellwether did get it right on the cut and fit of this bib knicker.  
Mile after mile  was spent with this garment wrapped around me
like a warm second skin.

Fabric plays another important part of the knicker assembly.  
Bellwether did a great job choosing the fabric for the ThermoDry
Bib Knicker which is heavy and warm. The high quality design of
the chamois is evident in a well formed pad that will provide
hours of riding comfort.

There are several things that we recommend including in your
Fall weather/Cyclocross wardrobe and having a pair of heavy bib
knickers is mandatory. These things are so functional that you will
be happy that the temperature has fallen so you can wear them.
       
We didn't like
  There was very little that we didn't like about this set of bib
knickers. I would include a little more style in them, maybe adding
a color to them.  We were very surprised to see that there was a
single reflective detail (company logo on the left thigh) on the
ThermoDry Knickers. As this is a Fall/Winter garment, reflective
details or piping should be a mandatory addition for visibility and
safety.
       
The final say
  Bellwether did a excellent job in selecting the fabric and creating
a proper pattern to make a winning combination. The ThermoDry
Bib Knickers are a great piece with a lot of features that you
would normally see on similar garments that cost twice as much.  
If you want the performance and not pay the price this is an
excellent choice.
