Great Pair of Bibs
Surprising improvement from Core; can't complain, don't think I will want to have anything less. Great fit and feel.

Good but could be better.
Screen printing cracking after just a few weeks. Also wearing through the fabric where the padding is.

Ok.
Good bibs for shorter rides. Print could be better quality, after few washes it cracked and may peel off.

Great fit but construction is lacking
Great fit but poor construction. Loose threads after first wash. Pretty disappointing for the price point

Sized down
Great Bib! I'm normally a medium 31" but I sized down to the small and the fit perfect.

Great to have length options. Premium feel.
Definitely feel more premium than the Core shorts. I notice this mostly in the fabric/construction, less so in the chamois although it does feel superior.
Curiously, the shorter length option is longer than my Core shorts by a couple of inches.
My experience with Rapha is they are made for the longer limbed rider. This is most noticeable in the jerseys and jackets where there is not the option of sleeve length.
Well done Rapha for having leg length options!

Spettacolo
Comfort is 5/5 especially for the material which is softer than any other tried. I usually wear castelli (only premio black or dottore by 36.5 can try to reach this level) but this short is in another league. Something to improve: pad protection on aero position. Great great great bibshort!

A decline from a excellence
First, the good. Construction and fabric quality is excellent. Rapha has changed the leg grippers so they are smaller yet work just as good as the wider bands they’ve had in the past.
The bad. Above the leg gripper band is another horizontal set of stitching that is slightly restrictive so your legs have a sausage-like quality. Also annoying is that the bibs ride very high. With them ridding up to your navel, it makes natural pit-stops very difficult.

Pro team bib shorts
My favorite shorts have been Pearl Izumi. I have PI, Huub, Sportful, Endura, Mavic & Craft bibs but have steered clear of Rapha because of its BMW stigma. Wanted to buy a british'ish product so bit the bullet, and glad I did. Love the shorts, like the slightly longer cut, super aero without stopping blood flow and crushing the meat n 2 veg. Deffo buy these again, fantastic shorts well worth money! On a par or even better than higher end PI's...

Solid choice for a quality bib
Good fitting bib with some added durability over the Pro Bib Short II. I’m 5’7” with a 28” waist and the size XS fits me very well. If the leg grippers were as soft and supple as the Pro Bib Short II these would be perfect. The leg grippers on the Training Bib Shorts performs well and looks nice but lacks refinement and feel, they cause a bit of the “sausage casing” look where as the Pro Bib Short II are more seamless on your thigh.

Poor quality. Would not recommend.
Training Pro Team Bibs - Very thin pad and material. Feels and is poor quality product. I have purchased many Rapha but the training (and core bib) the worst I have experienced.
Its not a typical Rapha quality product which I thought was surprising. after a few wear the shoulder straps will definitely will not last and tear..
I cannot return after testing on a ride. The high price does not match the expected quality product.

Great fit
Great bibs, great fit for long rides in the saddle. Chamois is great cushion and everything in the bibs go where they are suppose to go. No complaints about the straps. Perfect fitting bibs. Only issue I had was after only a couple rides a seam started to unwind from the left leg. Of course Rapha customer service gets 5 stars because the replaced them no questions asked but im hoping that was a one off for defective bibs.

To soon showing marks and letters coming off
The size and feeling are great, as it was before. But the recycled fabric is not from the same quality as it was before. After just a year the fabric is starting to have spots that seem to be deteriorating and showing difference in color. The letters are cracked up totally and to be honest I have other older cycling bibs that are older and much more used that still look spotless. Not used to this kind of quality from Rapha.

Good quality and value for money
Top quality - I got a second pair. Very good chamois pad and good structure with respect to how the seams line up on your legs for comfort, and general shape around your crotch area. Also offers a nice level of compression. My only observation is that the bib braces could be a fraction longer, I am 6'3" 76kg and have size L - they are a touch tight until they eventually stretch a bit. XL was too big. Grippers are good.

Inseam concern
Great product, maximum comfort for short and longer rides. The only concern I have is with the inseams. When I received the product a 14 inch string from the chamois was already coming undone. I tried calling in one day but wasn’t able to connect with anyone.

Fantastic leg grippers and bib straps
I absolutely love the leg grippers (the best I've ever had in a cycling short) and the bib straps, which are nice and wide, super comfortable and don't bunch up during a long ride. The bib shorts are very well made overall. I would give these shorts a five star rating, however, the chamois pad leaves me sore after every ride. I put that on me, since I've experienced the same with some other manufacturers.

Great all day comfort
Very comfy long ride bibs especially in the warmer weather. The pad is equally good to anything I’ve had in the past 14 and the leg grippers keep them firmly in place so no smudged tan lines. My only grip is the Rapha logo is a bit loud and could do with reducing by 20-30%, but that’s just the aesthetics and I can live with that. So, highly recommended for all day comfort (150+ miles with no issues).

Great bibs
A lovely, well made, comfortable pair of bib shorts. Size true to size guide. I’m 177cm, 78kgs and medium fits spot on. Once in place bibs are forgotten about, straps are comfortable and stay in place. Very comfortable chamois, no saddle sores to report. Leg grippers don’t hold well and bib legs do tend to ride up during your ride. A good cheaper pro team alternative that I would recommend.

Great performance bibs
These are my first pair of Rapha bibs, and they have not disappointed me. Fit is snug, chamois is comfortable, and they look great. Shoulder straps are a little tight, but when in a riding position they feel better. I'm 182cm tall and weigh 84kg, and the Large size felt too small when they first arrived. After riding them I few times and getting used to the tighter fit, I now like the size.
