Worlds best bibs?
Leg Grippers did not stay in place. Might of been the reason the pad did not feel comfortable at times. Pad seams came loose after 4 rides or about 200 miles. Rapha is a first class company and did a full money back return. But I expected better for the worlds best bib shorts.

Excellent
I've always worn another leading brand of bib shorts, but thought that I would give Rapha a try and I've certainly not been disappointed with these. The fit is fantastic (I'm around 6ft and went for size large) and the padding is possibly right up there with best I've tried, I feel like I could ride all day in these and still be super comfy. Top Product, Very Happy!!!

Great Training Short
I bought these to replace some aging bibs from another (premium) brand, primarily for short-mid length (1-3 hours) training rides and they fit that bill very well. I'm 178cm, 72kg, 32" waist and the medium fits me perfectly, and they're much more comfortable than the bibs they replaced. I can't find anything negative to about them really. Yes, the legs are on the long side, but I have quite short legs for my height and they sit a nice distance above my knees. Yes, the leg grippers are quite aggressive, but I don't find them uncomfortable at all (getting them in the right position before setting off helps I think). Yes, the chamois is a little... basic, but the shape works well for me and the padding is well judged. I haven't had any issues with quality or durability. Would they be my first choice for a 6+ hour ride? Probably not, but then I don't think that's what they're intended for and it's not why I bought them.

Better than the Pro Team 2.
I've always worn the Pro Team V1 and V2 Bibs. I'll be wearing these from now on. The open cuff of the Pro Team has failed on me a few times... flappy. With this design, you don't have that problem. Excellent fit and quality. Straps are more comfortable than the full Pro Team. Would absolutely recommend these. Size is spot on aka Medium = Medium. Me 179cm 73kgs = Medium

You cant find any better!
When talking about cycling shorts, the pad makes the most difference. I have used all the high - end shorts and Rapha is top for comfort. Extremely well made like all their other clothing that i own. I would suggest hand washing them in Woolite darks to protect the color and also the logo from cracking. Put it on the towel holder and it will be dry by morning.

No frills - just spot on
I could write a lengthy review, but…they are simply the best bib shorts out there (in my view). There might be cheaper ones and there might be others with a lot more tech or a special fabric, but these just deliver…great fit, long lasting, good look, what else can you ask for.
If there is one thing worth mentioning, the shoulder straps could be a little bit longer

Not Pro Team…
I wasn’t impressed because they had shorter straps and shorter inseam than the pro team version. I sent them back to get pro team. Just my view

Super comfortable!
By far my most comfortable bib shorts, I go back and forth between these and Rapha cargo bib shorts, I'm fairly lean, 6'1" @ 160 lbs , I wear a size small, they feel tight but once on and on the bike extremely comfortable 5hr ++ rides. My only critique the front panel could be a bit more stretchy to pull down at my height stopping mid ride to use the restroom.

I love these Bibs!
I love these Bibs! They are comfortable but with just the right amount of compression. I own both Core and Classic Bibs, and while I like them as well, the Pro Team Training Bibs are definitely my "go to" pair. They feel great, fit like a glove, and the grippers never slip. I'm glad I purchased these over a more expensive second pair of Classic Bibs.

Nice bib short, great simple design
Ive probably gone a size to big and would have got away with my normal size.. however the quality and design of the product are great, nice simple Rapha design... bib mesh is comfortable and fits nice.. the leg grippers are not the best and tend to move, but nothing too bad... overall a nice bib short but i think i will buy a smaller size next time..

Butt numb and sore!
Chamois on this one is not good compared to cargo or pro team. My butt became numb and sore after only 40 mile ride. I need to keep standing while pedaling and in descents to rest my bottom. Tssk Tssk I should have just added more $$ to buy the cargo or pro team one. Now I just use it at the spin class. Lol. What a waste of $$$. Very disappointed.

Great bib shorts but needed to get one size up
Great bib shorts and super comfy previous niggles with a slightly uncomfortable saddle a thing of the past - previous Rapha ones I was using before were a medium but could barely get the new ones on in that size , admittedly 5years plus old so maybe sizing has changed in the meantime - news pair fits a treat in a large so maybe overall very happy

Unbelievable Good Fit
These are the first pro bib that I bought, after having problems with the seeming cheap quality of the Core ones, and I'm just amazed by how well these ones fit. It's actully a totally different feeling compared to all the other bibs I owned. Hopefully the fabric won't star falling apart after only a few months like their Core counterpart...

Price balance out of shape
Poor material and bands comparing to the price. I expected more from this brand.

Bibs
One of my best bibs. Had that over a few 150 and above 200km rides and they are very comfortable. I am only a bit disappointed with the Rapha logo which started to peeling and coming off which makes it look old ,,, I followed the instructions when washing it but after a few washes the logo cracked and breaking down.
Sizing is perfect for

Pro Team Training Bib Shorts
In my opinion the best recommendation comes when you wear the bib shorts complete a 3hr ride , and you havent spend a moment to think about what your wearing . They 're comfortable , rain or shine , and the fit and connection between the bike saddle and me appear to always be very happy . They 're always my preferred choice

Good shorts
Great shorts as you would expect. Very comfortable on and off the bike. One issue is a hole has appeared in the back part (white webbing), having ony worn and washed a handful of times. This may be something that has happened due to getting caught on something in the wash but never happened to any other big shorts before.

Great when new, but the pad deteriorates rapidly
I've a couple pairs of these. When they're new, they're the best shorts I've ever worn. Unfortunately, the pads don't last at all. After just a couple of months, the nice, somewhat firm and supportive pad becomes quite spongy, and feels pretty crummy. In less than a year, the shorts basically no longer function for me.

Excellent bibs at the right price point.
Very comfortable bibs at the right price point. The price differential to the Pro Team bibs is considerable for not that much difference in feel and performance. Fit and feel is also much better compared to the Classic bibs. The pad is very comfortable and the shoulder straps have the right amount of stretch in them.

Amazing bibs
These are great bibs! The only reason I gave four stars instead of five stars is because these are longer than previous versions. I’ve been wearing Rapha Pro Team bibs for five years and all previous bibs weren’t as long as these. They are incredibly comfortable and provide plenty of comfort for 5-6 hour rides.

Great bibs for most road bike endeavors
Great bibs for most road bike endeavors. Decent chamois by my standards. The high fitting suspenders are my favorite feature. they leaving no doubts things will remain in place. Not a big fan of the tight elastic thigh cuff. Navy color with a matching jersey is a nice way to mix up typical kit colors.

Quality bibs
Great fit and feel. Chamois is comfortable on longer rides and does not have the feel of over padding. I have recently returned to the Rapha Proteam bibs as i was not happy with my current bibs from another well-known cyclewear company. Time will tell how they feel and stand up to constant washing.

Short was not fitting but changing was no problem!
I ordered the Team Bib Short in L and I had trouble putting on the shoulder straps. So, I changed it to size XL and now it fitted better. But in size XL the legs were too long and wide. So, it was send back again. I will order now the classic Bip. But sending it back was very easy and smooth!

Best shorts
Second pair of Rapha shorts and these might be the best of the rest too.
Medium is great fit for me; 184cm and 78kg and perfect on the bike.
Well pleased with length and snug fit for going hard on the bike. Chamois is excellent; well positioned and super comfy.
10/10 and highly recommended

Got to bibs.
These are my go to bibs for rides longer than one hour. They offer great compression, fit and the chamois does the trick. I have two pair and I am very happy with them. They are comfortable and the shoulder straps are plenty wide. I am 58, and put in about 75-100 miles a week when training.

Build quality lacking.
While these feel great, they started to disintegrate almost immediately. The thread around the chamois started to unravel after the first ride, and there was a hole along a leg seam after 8 rides. If you can afford to replace your bibs every half dozen rides, these would be excellent

Really nice short, but not my faves of Rapha.
These are really good. Love the material and the chammy. Not a huge fan of the band around the bottom and the second seam that wraps around my thigh. Definitely a keeper for shorter training rides. But, frankly, I’d prefer the core shorts over these for my training rides even.

Best shorts I own
These are really good bib shorts. I've been using the core shorts for a few years, which I like and a pair of classics that I'm not keen on, but these pro training shorts are brilliant. Good fit with slight compression that don't move around. They look great in navy blue.

Poor quality leg band
I have been buying Rapha products for 10 years based on the quality the brand espouses and having knicks that last and last. Unfortunately my latest purchase hasn’t impressed due to poor quality leg band which seems to have stretched with only a couple of wears.
