Photos 8 and 9 show some scuffs on the pads, so I'll mark them as having some dirt. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. The texture and comfort are both very good, and it's a high-rank vapor pad specification, so I think it's a great deal. The cut-off design is comfortable to wear. The pads are quite firm and provide good support. The lining is lightly brushed, so it can be worn for three seasons other than summer. I bought a lot of overseas color bibs from the same BioRacer company, so I'm selling this one. The outer fabric feels like it supports muscles more than Rapha. I think this is a good way to try BioRacer at a low price. How about it for your knicker debut?
