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.

Core Cargo Bib Shorts
The fit and feel of the shorts is great and I'm looking forward to seeing how these hold up as I continue use them. My purchase was recent and I've only had an opportunity for a few rides. Therefore, I cannot provide a good review on quality over time. So far I'm very pleased.

Top of the range
Always loved the Core shorts and the cargo version is perfect for long days out. The fit seems better then from previous versions & the extra pockets, especially the rear packets, means I can carry an extra bidon on the bike instead of a tool pod. My go-to shorts for all-dayers.

Core Cargo Bib Short Review
Great core cargo bib shorts! Exactly as advertised. I’m 5’9 about 175-180 lb with shorter legs 28” wearing a size Medium, so the cargo bib shorts fits a little longer covering most of my thigh. Although more expensive than the average, everything seems to be working as expected.

Love ‘em cargo bibs
Love those side pockets on this bib. As always Rapha delivers the best quality. I have used this both for gravel riding and long road rides and is always comfortable to wear. Those extra side pockets is so useful for all my extra gels and phone and bars. One of my best bibs.

Really good fit
Very comfortable bib! Haven't taken them out past 100kms, but anything less than that has been great. Fits perfectly around the thighs, great padding, more than enough pockets to carry all your gear, and nice reflective branding along the sides. I love these for the price!

Could be better for me, but still love 'em!
The fit is nice and the pockets are a godsend. The chamois starts to lose support around 3 hours and the leg grippers are beginning to lose their rebound. All that said, I really like these bibs. I'd love to have a pair with a chamois geared for longer rides/all-day use.

Better than the rest
Simply the best bib shorts I've owned. Considerably better than the extra twenty or so quid I paid in comparison to my usual mid range. Cargo pockets (whilst never recommended on everyday clothes unless you are in the army) are amazing. Perfect for phone, snack, gel etc.

To bib or not to bib?
I was a little concerned about transitioning from shorts to a bib. Really pleased I pulled the trigger on the bib. Quality material, well made, very comfortable and the cargo option is a must have! I'm looking forward to miles of comfort with the Core Cargo Bib Shorts.

These are the best Bib Shorts I've owned to date. They are very comfortable and true to size. I done a 110km ride in them last weekend with no issues, so if you are looking for all around comfort with extra storage pockets then I would recommend these Cargo Bib Shorts.

These are a value...
Man, these are nice. I purchased them for my endurance gravel rides; Multi-day, +130 mil days and these do the job. Purchased a Medium and Small and kept them both. It's like wearing nothing at all, but everything is firmly supported. Most comfortable chamois so far...

Love these bibs
I've bought a few pairs of these now and they're my go-to everyday bibs. They're comfortable and the pockets add a conveniently accessible spot for gloves, snacks, phone, etc. Coming up on a couple thousand miles of on/off road riding and they're still holding up well.

Good Value and excellent fit.
Excellent bibs with nice pocket features. Insert good enough for 4-5 hour rides - I have not ridden in them longer yet. I'm 6'1" and a 31" waist and the size medium is tailor made for me. Quite comfortable and affordable for what you get. Great for the gravel set.

Kill-em-all bibs at a very reasonable price.
Versatile and very comfortable bib shorts with chamois that will make +5 hours in the saddle feel like a walk in the park. Leg and back pockets carry most of what you will need. Very good looking and true to size. Definitely my favorite bib shorts, no doubt about it.

Great bibs
I have always been Mtb baggy shorts type rider but these cargo bibs are amazing for gravel riding. Fit is perfect for me XL I’m 186cm and 91kg. Cargo leg pockets get a lot of use, I carry my phone and plenty of snacks and can wear baggy t shirt for more casual look.

My first bib shorts
These are well made and the shamy pad is extra comfy. Having the cargo mess pockets I find easier than something on my back. You can still have them in your jersey. I wore these 3 days continuously while bike packing which worked well. Much better than just shorts

Great shorts
Great shorts comfortable great fit with excellent padding as always, my only criticism would be the front waist is a little high for me but I have gotten over that and will live with that one small issue, pockets are handy at the cake stop for the phone cash etc….

Very good value
my favorite pair of bib shorts to date. Comfortable for longer rides, cargo options are great. Never thought cargo pants would make a comeback in my lifetime. Would prefer if the back pocket was all the way through so I could just roll up my jacket and put it in.

Good design features in a comfy bib
Comfy bib shorts. Nice to have pockets to stash id, cc, etc. away from jersey pockets where food, electrolytes, and jacket are accessed much more frequently. Side pocket for phone keeps that handy for quick snapshots of the scenery. Supportive and well designed.

Great value!
Great bib, super comfy, even for century rides. Pockets are super useful, also when riding gravel with a tech tee. Only problem is longevity, my first pair started disintegrating after two years (Followed the wash instructions). Hopefully this one lasts longer.

Very good shorts
Same fit as Core bibs, so the fit is good. The pad suits me, as before. I'm yet to use all the pockets, but I really like the ability to put smaller items into the mesh pockets. Maybe if more people had these I'd see fewer gel/bar wrappers at the roadside?

High Quality with Pockets!
High quality fabrics and good construction are on par with my expectations from a premium brand even though it's their entry level product. I was dubious of the cargo pockets usefulness at first but I found them handy for keeping my mask within easy reach as well as soft foods like Clif blocks. The rear pockets are definitely harder to access but I can see them being useful when you run out of space in your jersey for arm warmers and such. They are hard to access under the jersey. The chamois feels very thick compared to other brands I have tried. Overall comfort is good but in the two century rides I did, I noticed a bit of chaffing in one spot that I don't experience on my other bib shorts. I think my most comfortable chamois I have experienced yet is still the Progretto X2 from Castelli but this one is close second. The leg grippers are great and length wise definitely one of the longest shorts I own. Fabric feel is excellent and best described as luxurious. Overall happy with purchase and is everything I expected them to be.

great product with okay chamois
Great product and great fit but the chamois is okay and is probably expected for the cheaper option. The chamois feels too low down in the front and causes slight discomfort. I would still recommend the product but the buyer should be aware of the chamois.

My Go To Bib-Shorts
Now my first choice of 'Go To' Bib-Shorts! Have been getting plenty of rides and mileage, always comfortable and always return as fresh as I went out. Over the moon and by far the best shorts I've owned. Very impressed with the materials and quality feel.

Great value for money, comfortable, practical
Excellent compression in the legs, great fit, and very comfortable. Wore it on a 9hr ride, and two 5hr+ rides so far, and the pad is very comfortable. The pockets are a game changer for longer rides, even if you use them just to dispose of used wrappers

Get these. They're awesome!
These are great! Really comfy, exactly what I wanted. Was looking for pocket bibs with cargo pockets that weren't TOO big and that had back pockets. Did the research, checked out all the options. These were the best and for the best price. Win win

Rapha Value
Rapha Value indeed , this line comes in at significantly less than the pro line items. I have items across the range and these hols up well in quality. The fit is looser and a few less technical features though for daily rides I would use these all day
