Does anyone know who's making them nowadays? Specialized used to do the SWAT bib shorts but they seem to be discontinued now.
Morvelo don't seem to have of their Covert range in stock either 🙁
Rapha
Rapha now do their Explore range including bib shorts with pockets.
Raceface Stash are very similar to SWAT - still not exactly easy to find though (and the RRP is too high imo)
Rapha Cargo.
endura singletrack. ideal mtb bibs imo
Rapha seem to be priced a bit too high !
Those Yeti and Race Face are a good shout though Phil_H thank you
7idp make some with hip armour pads.
Good shorts, but pockets are quite small.
Called Hydro.
I got a Morvelo covert base layer in the sale. Good back pockets, But has some pockets with Velcro on the front which itch a little

Pretty sure I saw some Nukeproof ones on CRC a while back. I bloody love my SWAT's, better hope they never fall apart!
I've got a pair of Raceface stash and really rate them but they are liner shorts only due to the large mesh sections on the legs.
Rapha are releasing a cheaper version (£110) of the cargo bibs next month.
Nukeproof ones look good for £40 -

Santini Mago bibs have small pockets on them.
I’ve got some nice giro 3/4 length with mesh pockets. Undershorts I think they are called.
The new Sportful range include mesh pockets, can't remember the name though...Gravia?
Bontrager do some good ones for £60.
Altura also do some, the Tech 5 that are cheap but very uncomfortable and don't fit a smart phone in any of the pockets.
Madison Flux Capacity Bib Liner Shorts, £55 ish I think.
