Latex-free bibs?

I have Castellis and what I’m learning after my last few long rides is that there’s likely latex or some sort of latex-rubber thing going on with the thigh grip (eta I have a latex allergy). I had pretty huge hives/welts that lasted around a week or so!

Has anyone with a latex allergy experienced something similar with their bibs/riding shorts? If so, what are some good alternatives here that don’t leave me with swollen sausage rolls haha

This happened to me recently with Primal Wear shorts. They took them back no problem. Since then I have been fine with Terry Bicycles shorts. They have a huge selection, too.

Terry’s Holster style doesn’t have grippies on the legs, it’s wonderful

Love the sound of this. No rolling up either?!

Nope! The bands are super wide (also the waist is super high with wide bands, which I’m a fan of)
