Can't mistake buying this one
Standard incredible quality by Rapha - have 2 of these and it seems like they would last forever. I also have a non-cargo shorts and the difference (besides the amazing mesh pockets) is that the bottom leg-grippers are smaller on the cargo one and I really like them to be like on the non-cargo one. Hope this makes sense.

Core Cargo Bibs: Top-notch kit w/pockets!!
This is all I ride in now! Road, gravel, MTB, whatever. The cargo pockets are ideal for phone and nutrition, or stash a light windbreaker on the go. I don't always wear a jersey with pockets, so this allows for that too. Fit/finish/details/value, all excellent. I like the dark blue too, I have so much black already.

Excellent bibs
Excellent bibs. Love the fit, the chamois, and most of all the pockets. I have trouble going on a long ride without them now. All things considered, they are decent value as well. These are my second pair. My only concern is that my first did not last quite as long as I would have expected. Hoping these will go longer.

Fab shorts for long distance cycling
My first pair of bib shorts so did an internet review and wasn't disappointed with what I selected. I didn't even know you could get shorts with side pockets. Great for extra nutrition and gel wrappers. Did a full change in and out of them at my first iron man. Def worth the extra seconds for the comfort and usability.

Very useful all rounder shorts
Quality, well made as usual, but I'm not a fan of the thin front straps, prefer the wider ones on the classic bibs which cover your nips. Having said that grippers are better than the classic bibs and fit snug and stay in place. Pockets are great especially for rides when you don't fancy a cycling jersey with pockets.

Great for All-around Riding
I'm 6'0" and around 215 lbs. So I don't exactly have the typical cyclist's physique. But these bibs fit me perfectly in XL. The pockets are super useful, and despite being Rapha's entry-level shorts, they look and feel premium and are definitely superior when compared to entry-level bibs of other brands I've tried.

Amazing style and fit
I bought these for my husband as a Christmas gift along with a jersey. I wasn't sure the cargo style would be something he liked. He does a mixture of endurance cycling and also gravel riding. He love, love loves these and the extra pockets for his gravel riding. Again Rapha cannot be beaten in style, fit and

Pockets, pockets and more pockets
Have you heard how great pockets in your bib shorts are? I use these mostly for gravel riding when I don’t exactly feel like wearing a skin tight jersey. Since I have some pockets in my shorts I can get away just wearing t-shirt. Also like most Rapha gear they’re made well and have stood up to couple spills.

Comfortable and practical
Great shorts, the extra pockets are phenomenal and the chamois are more comfortable than the average. The only downside is the cheap build quality, but to be fair at this price you won’t find anything better. The straps are a bit too thick for summer, in size and thickness of fabric, but not a major issue.

Excellent, comfortable cargo shorts for long rides
Perfect for long rides…I wore these when I took part recently in the Tuscany Trail bikepacking event, over 4 days and a lot of tough climbing. The shorts were very comfortable and the quality of the material kept me cool and flexible. Cargo pockets are helpful and convenient, both on the legs and back.

Top quality with lots of storage
I am loving the extra pockets. Whilst I sometimes do wear jerseys, as I am a bit on the larger side size wise, I do wear my regular gym t-shirts when cycling so needed a few more pockets for storage. The bibs really fit nicely and I can easily take everything I need into the pockets. Top quality product.

Expensive but worth every penny
I decided to bite the bullet and get a pair of Core cargo and oh my god they are insanely comfortable and worth it!!! I did an everesting (18h 21min) and not once was I uncomfortable, sore plus I didn’t use chamois cream…. Are they expensive yes but once you use them you can never go to cheap ones again

Love them!
The padding within shorts is something i always struggle with, but these Raphas are unreal. Very comfortable and allow me to stay out much longer. Rest of the fabric is what i would expect, but I love the additional pockets.. allows me to carry spare tubes or more food without relying on more bike bags!

Great bib ahorts
I am very hapoy with these bib shorts. I live the pockets on the side. The back pockets are not my type of thing but I can see where some people would live them and find them very useful. I really love how the core bibs have the classic chamois so your getting a higher level chamois at a lower price.

Good value shorts
Great fit in size small. 179cm, 63kg. Shorts have good length to them and stay put. Chamois has a cheaper feel than the pro team but I don't notice the difference when actually riding. Useful pockets. If I had to change something it'd be for more perforated, lighter-duty straps. Overall recommend.

Cargo is the future
Bought for a multi-day gravel trip needing extra storage / pockets.
Sometimes 'Fads' are just that - 'Fads' but I'm pleasantly surprised that the bibs pockets worked a treat as an alternative to not wearing a full on cycling jersey.
...Why I have not made this an option in the wardrobe sooner ?

Bad sewing, not recommend
Looks good but sewing last 5 rides. I wear the bib very few times and the sewing broke apart. I contacted the online shop and they answer is normal . Not nice for the price you pay to have such weak sewing honesty . The bibs has been used only for biking , I expected more attention to details

On the 2nd pair now
Awesome bibs. Now on the second pair and love them. I’ve had the core bibs before these but the Cargo version are now my go to pairs. Comfortable and wear well, they fit great. The additional pockets on the legs are used every ride, whether it’s a 10km after work blast or a 100km Sunday ride.

Best bibs on the market
The best fitting bibs I’ve ever used. I’ve gone through about 7 different brand including Pearl Izumi, assos and others. This is by far the most comfortable. Also love the pockets. The actual padding could be slightly softer but other than that I absolutely love them. Ps, and they look good.

Love them!
Love these bibs as I wear them on casual days when I'm not in a full kit. Throw on a shirt on top, and there are pockets galore for phones, multitools, food etc. They're comfortable in the warm Singapore weather as well. The comfort holds up on long rides and also in some very nasty rain.

Great idea & dead handy
At first I thought these might be gimmicky & trying to solve problems that don’t exist. First ride quickly showed me otherwise as the cargo pockets are dead handy for quickly putting food and wrappers into on the go.
Pad is exactly what I’ve come to expect from Rapha & I’m now a convert!

Very gooooooood
Il mio primo paio di pantaloncini Rapha e che dire? Fantastici, curati in ogni dettaglio. Il fondello è comodissimo e rende agevoli anche le pedalate più lunghe. Geniale oltre le tasche sulle coscie anche le due tasche sulla schiena. Non metto 5 stelle per non farvi montare la testa:—)

Long Rides?
These are a significant upgrade over my other bibs. Started to experience bruising on my sit bones as I passed 50miles. Did a metric last week in comfort. And the pockets are good for car keys or anything else you don’t want left on the road someplace. Recommend without reservation

The Ultimate bib
Great comfort for long rides had to order a smaller size , my first order was X Large , fit little baggy on the legs. Ordered a second pair Large fit me perfect. Very comfortable and worth every penny. I gave my cycling buddy my X Large and he loved them and he ordered another pair.

Excellent Shorts!
Excellent shorts. The quality is great, The fabric and pad are top notch. Fit was great for me. I Am 5'9" and 165 lbs and the medium was perfect. Just like the size chart recommended. I do wish they were maybe 2 inches shorter but that is a personal preference for me. Great sshorts!

Great quality bibs, love the leg pockets
Great bibs
Fits well as a 94kg, 187cm guy. I find the pockets on each side of the leg handy, great for a gel or that next bar. Easy to grab. I even had my phone in there for a few km and I barely noticed it.
Its snug and true to size
I find it warm enough for me, 5 degree+ temps

Great bibs!
I really like these bibs. The mesh pockets could be a little more snug but all-in-all they’re great. As a point of reference, my 2nd ride in them was a 100km gravel ride. The bibs didn’t falter at all and in fact I forgot I was wearing them until a buddy complemented me on them.

Very happy with my first Rapha purchase
First Rapha purchase. Have used on 100k+ gravel rides and found the bib shorts to be very comfortable. Size (based on sizing chart) felt big when I first tried them on but concern dissipated once out on the road. Overall very happy with the purchase and likely to buy another pair.

Good Price, Great Quality as Expected.
The bib is excellent quality, the cargo pockets are convenient and precisely where they need to be. The chamois seems stiff and blockish around the edges to the touch, however this not a factor once worn on the saddle. Overall a very comfortably snugg fit easy to ride allday in.
