I normally wear a size XL but there was no way I could squeeze into this one I doubt a 2XL would even fit Straight out of the package a thread was loose on the chamois and pulled entirely out

for me its just an overrated underperforming bib. the straps that everyone gripes about are a tad too firm and too short but not overbearing.
Pad-wow lackluster. usually a new pad at least feels good the first time out but not this one. not a premium pad, maybe an entry level pad.
fit is good. i'm 6'"1 205 not of typical cycling physique. 3XL fits fine. use the chart.
sorry i really wanted these to be awesome but they are not.

These are the most comfortable bibs I have used for long time in the saddle. Better than Rapha, Assos and the other expensive ones for me. Only ding is that the straps twist and bunch up and get uncomfortable. Else, bibs are perfect. Too bad about that one irritating item, as it does get uncomfortable after a while. The chamois and fit else makes up for it however so I use them all the time anyhow.

are terrible. They are like to short or something. I got these hoping they fit like the Flanders model bibs but they don't. Returning

These are weird. The material around the legs is not the typical lycra; it almost feels like thin rubber. The pad is extra thick and large--it extends up the front and down the legs more than any other bibs I've used. But the worst part is the straps. The material is uncomfortable, unforgiving, and irritating. They dig into your shoulders, and over a long ride the straps don't really disappear like they do on bibs that fit well. Add to all of this that the bibs run at least one size small...I'm a large usually and the XLs seemed small for the first month until I either lost weight or the bibs stretched. I wouldn't buy these again.

Very comfortable!

As a skinny arsed old dude, I can't say I have ever found the perfect shorts. No matter what I wear some days I'm getting a bit squeezed by the end of a 25-30 mile ride on mixed road surfaces. The best shorts, such as the long distance version of Assos, or the FR Giordana, have been the closest to letting me ride pain free. In recent years I've taken to adding a thin padded undershort such as the Pearl Izumi version. When I saw the name of these shorts, you can imagine I was game to try them. I think its sufficient to say, they are as good or better than the others mentioned, time will tell.

Fit wise, they tend to run a tad smaller (more compressive?) than the Giordana, and are as tight as I would like to experience in a "L" (I'm 6 foot 165 lbs.), even around my skinny legs, so be advised on that count, if you tend to look like Spartacus.

I wore these super comfort bibs once after receiving them from B.C. . They are light for summer and compress your muscles just enough but from me sweating in the summer heat I noticed the lower part of the bibs bleed through with salt staining from your body. it gave me the impression of being cheap as I never experienced this with my Gore Bike Wear bibs. it did however wash out so I was very happy for that. The padded chamois was grat as I did a 40 mile group event ride and didn't experience any discomfort.

The bib is great on hot days. If I could split this rating into two parts I would. I think the chamois and overall fit around the legs are 5-star good, but the straps are rigid. For many people I wouldn't expect this to be a problem, but at 6'3" whenever I stand-up upright it feels like someone is softly pushing down on my shoulders. Though not ideal off the bike, I don't notice this issue at all when in the saddle. Also the mesh straps take an extra second or two to flatten out. I haven't had any issues with them bunching up or twisting once initially sorted.

I seem to keep reaching for these bibs as my first choice. They fit me just right - they have the perfect amount of padding, compression, leg length and strap width/comfort. I like that they aren't a "shiny" lycra - more of a dull finish to the fabric and they seem to be wearing really well.

I usually do a weekly century + or 200k + brevets and these are the most comfortable bibs for all day riding I have ever used. And I use and love Assos, Capo and LG's, but these are a notch above for distance riding. I have been riding the Total Comfort Bibs which were great but these are even better. They have just a bit more compression which I like, they are light weight, the legs stop an inch or so above the knee and they stay in place with no rubbing or chafing.

As far as the pad....its the best I've used, including my current Assos Equipe's. Some may think it too much but I've use thick pads in the past which feel thick and get bunched. These feel just right and have the most padding where needed for long days in the saddle.

Not sure why more people don't use these.

Having now put in a few rides on this, i have to say these are one of my favorite bibs (also own Assos, Castelli, Rapha). For me, these have perfect amount of compresssion, chamois is super comfortable, bib straps stay firmly in place, and the fabric is very light. I'd say on par with similarly priced bib shorts i own. if these ever went on sale, i'd pounce to maybe pick up another pair or two. i'm 6'2", 210lbs - i don't have tree trunks for thighs so perhaps why they might fit better than the reviewer below.

Beware: I take a L in some bibs and in this one even an XL wasn't large enough. Didn't ride them, but sitting on the rollers for a couple of minutes made it feel like the chamois was bunching up a little. Overall workmanship *looked* maybe a little under par for bibs of this price, though as I say, I never actually rode them.
