Excellence, at a price.
These are excellent shorts. Why not 5 stars? the navy blue colour is less forgiving of sweat than darker colours, the seat is showing some sign of some colour fade after around 20 hours of riding. That being said, they are incredibly comfortable. They are perfect for spring and autumn rides where visibility is a virtue. At full RRP they are hard to justify, wait for the inevitable sale or bundle discount.

Nice fabric - needs to be more supportive
Good bibs, pockets are great, material is very nice and quick drying however it doesn't feel as stretchy as many other bib shorts. I assume some of the stretch when choosing/designing the fabric was given up in trade for somewhat water resistance and quicker drying material. I'm docking these bibs 2 stars for lack of support through the upper thighs and loose fitting through the crotch and bum. I find this to be an issue of all Rapha bib shorts regardless of the line. I tried sizing down from medium to small but feel like the seams will burst if I go that route, maybe I just need to chance it. My body measurements are at the bottom end of medium and top end of small. I typically wear "pro team" which are supposed to be for a slimmer body type and fit even though I do not consider myself to be all that thin, in pro cyclist comparison I'd be a sprinter at 5'-10", 163 lbs, 38" chest, 32"waist, 37.5" hips.

Good item - my second pair
This is actually my second pair of these cargo shorts. Well made, comfortable, and the exterior pockets are super handy for your mobile phone, or what ever you choose to stash into them. The material of the shorts themselves is different from that of the cargo bib tights; much lighter in weight and they seem to be much more quick drying.

Stylish , comfortable and very practical
Comfortable and durable. Straps are very supportive but comfortable pockets are the best I’ve seen in this genre. They are also the best looking cargo shorts I’ve seen. The fabric is on the heavier side and the leg grippers are a bit stiff and slightly baggy on my legs but I don’t notice it when riding and I found them very breathable.

Absolutely spot on alternative to Pro Team
These have a very different feel to the Pro Team and Pro Team Training knicks. The feeling and fit is the best I've worn in years. The material feels super high quality and just fits true to size better than most. Cargo pickets are easy to access, style is on point. 100% recommend these for the roadie/MTB/Gravel lovers out there.

Perfect gravel bib
Perfect fit like always with Rapha. I’m 182cm and 74kg and size M is perfect fit. Cargo material feels much durable and stronger than pro team bib and that’s perfect for gravel adventures. Only downside is thinner elastic band than on the pro team bib. I don’t like the idea of feeling that on my legs.

Excellent
I have the Core cargo bib shorts but decided to order the pricier version while they were in the sale. Fit is similar but the pad is significantly better. So comfortable. Material and quality seem really good. Not sure I’d pay full price but let’s see how using them for a full spring/summer goes!

Real test to come on SRMR
These are without doubt an expensive set of Bibs, they are however comfy and seem to offer all. day comfort which is not always the case with some cargo bibs. I shall be giving these as hard a test as you can really give when I wear them for the SRMR this month.

Excellent cargo bib shorts
Fantastic pair of bib shorts. Really comfortable for a long day in the saddle with excellent storage. Material is quite heavy and should hopefully withstand some solid days of gravel riding. Comfortable chamois and great fit. I’m 178cm/82kg and went for Large.

Cargo shorts in a sleek chic.
The quality of these bibs is exceptional. The chamois is well made and very comfortable even for longer rides. Love the cargo pockets as they are a very easy access for energy gels, bars or bites so you can keep rolling the cranks while fueling your jouney.

Yas!
I love these bib shorts. This shirt s my second pair; I have the Special Edition Seeing Sound ones as well. It’s true, Rapha is kinda spendy and I curse myself for getting hooked, but I am. I’m hooked. I suspect the thermal bib tights will be next.! Lol.

All Day comfort with all the extra storage needed
These Bib shorts have been my go to shorts for a few years now. Short or long rides it doesn’t matter I love the extra storage that they provide. They fit true to size and the chamois pad provides excellent protection and comfort for the long rides

All round strong performer
These are the most comfortable bib shorts I have bought. Most importantly it provides excellent support for everything in the groin. Keeps everything in its place. Nice colour makes a change from black

Sizing's a challenge
Have had to downsize as the cargo shorts are only available in the classic cut. Does make them a little snug in length but just about can get away with the sizing. Aside from fit, get bibs as always

Most functional shorts I own
Fantastic cut and fit. The pockets are indispensable. Only ask is that the material would be made softer and stretchier, similar to the classic short. I wish for the classic feel when on long rides.

100% recommended
Incredibly comfortable, used it for 3 days straight for a ultra endurance event and didn't have any issues. I even crashed on a slippery road and the bib are still perfectely fine, worth the money!

Comfortable, practical long distance bibs.
Great bibs. Very comfortable, with spacious pockets and a reasonable amount of waterproofing.
My first ride in these was 200km and there were no 'breaking in' issues at all, no sores or discomfort at all. I normally wear Core bibs with the 'Classic' chamois and I could definitely feel the difference comfort wise, but the pad doesn't feel overly bulky or cause any issues compared to that.
My 2nd ride was an 1,100km ultra race and I can honestly say there were no bib related issues through the whole thing.
The pockets were a lifesaver and I was able to stuff them with all sorts of things I needed on hand and had no worries about the netting giving out. The pockets felt very secure and I never had any worries about anything escaping, no matter how full or empty. Equally, they didn't seem so tight that they were causing discomfort by putting too much pressure on the contents into my leg.
I rinsed these in the shower and hung them up and they were decently dry after a 4h rest.
All in all a great bib, and although they are pretty expensive they were absolutely worth the money for me.

Nice bibs
These are nice bibs! Only con IMO is the narrower elastic band on the thigh - it gives a bit of the 'sausage leg' look (albeit not an extreme offender). I'm hoping with more use it goes away.

More cost, but more saddle time.
Did 50 miles on the first wearing and could feel the difference from the core bibs. Will be my long ride pair moving forward. Super cozy, expensive, but the saddle time gains make me happy.

Very comfortable bib
Very soft and comfortable, I ride with it for more than 80km and it did not creat any issue…the only thing is that when sweating the things inside the side pocket get the sweats too..

Good fit, odd fabric.
Good fit, true to size.
Nice design but slightly strange fabric, crumples up around the front of the pad, like they're not stretchy enough. Finding it hard to justify the price.

Good value, great fit
They fit well, true to sizing chart. Easy to put on, they stay in place, reducing chafing and other abrasive injuries. Love the 4 pockets; perfect for phone and an energy bar!

A bit snug even for the largest size but comfy fit overall. The chamois are excellent compared to everything i have worn in the price range. Well built and good looking.

Great bib shorts
The best bib shorts that I've ever used. I was blown away by the fit and the comfort of the chamois, and versatility of the side pockets. I really hope they will last.

Enjoying these cargo shorts for long mountain bike rides. I don't like to wear a backpack and these give me just a little extra volume for snacks and other items.
