  • Short shorts.. (bib shorts that are short in the leg)

    Due to the amount of awesome i have packed in to my upper legs, i have been left with thighs that look as if they should be spinning in a kebab shop at the beginning of a saturday night, so i have to wear XXL bib shorts. Trouble is, that whilst i am 5’10”, my legs are only 29″ in length and it seems to be presumed by most bib shorts manufacturers that if you take an XXL short, you must be 6’2″ at least, so many bib shorts want to sit right on or over my knee.

    Any recommendations for quality bib shorts that are cut shorter in the leg??

    I use Pearl Izumi for my Ernie Wise’s. Tredz have deals.
    Shutt VR are also shorter.

    I believe that the term you are looking for is ‘mankini’ 😉

    I do kind of sympathise with you, though, as I am 6 feet tall with a 29 inch inside leg. Luckily, I’m only ‘Large’, so the leg length on those is fine.

    Rapha light weights are available in regular or short.

    ^ pearl izumi do seem a bit shorter, and castelli* are pretty long

    *(XXL in castelli is half way between L and XL in normal sizing, while pearl izumi is about bob-on what you’d expect IMO)
