Your query assumes the female market wants a bib rather than a short. Sales are skewed towards the short, hence the decision. If you've only got one bet to place, you pick the one that looks the winner.
The male Core range also has a short (non Bib) variant without rear pockets.
Obviously my assumption is because I'm not privy to sales figures, but it is interesting that the shorts sell more than bibs for females when the male market for just shorts is almost nowhere near as popular as bibs. Thanks for the explanation.
