Am looking for some cargo bibs for longer multi day bikepacking trips, and these seem to fit the bill well. Has anyone used them and had any issues/found them to be superb? How is the sizing vs their recommendation chart? Thanks.
They are my favourite shorts - the ones I always put on if they are clean enough :-). I suppose the sizing is dependent on your exact physique but I find the bib very comfortable with good shoulder straps and the legs are not too tight or loose. Also the chamois is the most comfortable I’ve tried. The sizing is similar to most other brands. I take an XL which seems crazy - I’m not THAT fat, but it’s the same in Galibier. Castelli is even more mad - iirc I got XXL.
Great shorts, you won't go wrong with them.
6ft and wear XL for the length not the girth!
the pad is brilliant. Sadly, I seem to be between two sizes, so it's either a smidge too baggy or a smidge too tight (unless I lose some kgs )
I have a few pairs ranging from XXL to L I think but am now Medium so don't use them anymore. The pad is really good (still use Medium 3-season tights from them which have the same pad). I did find the legs ride up a bit more than on some other shorts I have (although I have this issue on most shorts) but at least some of that will be due to them being too big.
They don't have much compression in the fabric and I find fit the same as most of higher-end bibs (Rapha Pro Team and some Castelli are a bit tighter for the same size but my Assos, Kostume and 7Mesh bibs fit the same). I'm 6ft and 72kg for reference.
Not sure if you're interested in used (for only a few rides) bibs...?
