As a runner/cyclist, I am always on the look out for quick & easy ways of fastening my race number onto my shirt/vest. The big problem I always faced was the safety pins pulling, and ruining my best/favourite running shirts.
BibBits work in a similar way to the event clips that I reviewed earlier, Using a front and back piece to easily fasten you bib. The difference here is that BibBits use powerful magnets instead of clips. making them much easier to adjust when in place, making the whole process much easier and
quicker. especially when using full zip cycling jerseys.
I first used the BibBits during a 10k trail run, conditions on the day were windy, which I really did expect to dislodge the number. On a particularly open stretch with the wind really catching the bib, I was impressed to see that BibBits held true and kept the number firmly in place.
The following week I used them during the Great Manchester Cycle. Fastening this number has always been a problem due to the jersey having a full zip. No problems here, as the magnets were really easy to fasten in place, a big advantage was the fact that I could reposition the number without needing to remove any of the BibBits by sliding the number between them into position (something I could not do with my event clips)
As you can see on the photo above each part of the BibBits has a small round powerful magnet that attaches on either side of your shirt/number. The BibBits are also not on the large side as you can see on the photos below.
BibBits consist of two parts. The front part is rectangle shaped, dimensions are 2x1 cm and it weighs only 3 grams. The back part is round shaped (for extra comfort), 1,5 cm wide and weighs just 2 grams. A complete set of 4 BibBits weighs around 20 grams. (from BibBits.nl)
The design of the BibBits lead to them being comfortable with no irritation due to rounded back of the holder.
I am really impressed with this item especially due to its lightweight design, and it ease of use, they really are a must have for any run/cycle competitor. The ideal gift idea, as they come in many different designs, and Bibits even of a bespoke option.
5/5 BibBits, well designed product!
