Too much stitching in the chamois
Excessive stitching in the middle of the chamois makes these uncomfortable

Outstanding
On my constant journey to find the perfect bibs, this bib is the standout. Compression, fit, comfort, styling, and returning from a long, hard ride feeling nothing on my back side except accomplishment make these bibs my best performing bibs -- and I have tried quite a few. I can feel the difference between these Rapha bibs and other high-end bibs in the sense that I don't really feel them. I feel the bike, the wheels, the pavement, the wind, the exhilaration of the cycling experience, but ZERO discomfort from the bibs nor the pad. And unlike some other reviewers, my leg grippers are skintight on me with no gaps. I'm 5'9, 153 pounds with a muscular build. I wear a M in the bibs. They are very compressive putting them on, but once riding, as I've stated before, I don't feel them. These are great bibs and worth the expense.

Believe the hype but sort out the availability
I refused to submit to the hype but being new to cycling and 15st comfort and fit are all. I have Le Col and Castelli shorts but nothing comes close to Rapha. I don't care that they are expensive and the most annoying thing is that you are constantly OOS in bigger sizes ( must drive your CEO/CFO mad on missed sales) but they are the best. Do not chintz and try to cut corners to save money, solve your supply issues and your sales will rocket. A fantastic product.

Great Fit
The Classic bib shorts have been in my kit for 7+ years. No other brands, including Assos and Castelli, came close in terms of being my go-to bibs. Recently tried the Cargo, and for the right ride/weather, solid kit. (Don’t care so much for the feel of the weather-resistant material.) But these bibs are sensational. Needed to size up from the Classic line. I especially like the added support/compression around the obliques area, provided by the higher side cut.

New favorite bibs!
The Pro Team Bib Shorts II are an excellent evolution of an already best-in-class item. The accuracy of the fit, placement of the chamois, and subtle and timeless branding all contribute in making this my new favorite pair of bibs. I went with the "long" leg length and glad that I did. I am just over 6'4" and have pretty long legs. Although most bibs still fit me just fine, the extra leg length on these new bibs maintained just the right amount of coverage.

Not worth the money, not even close
For the money, I’d have expected a much higher quality product. The material is quite thin and not as compressive as other high-end Bob shorts I own. At 5-8 I find the fit to be poor as well, as the legs are cut exceptionally long which causes them to bunch up on me. I also find the fit guide to be off; the chart suggested I order a Large based on my measurements, but I think a Medium would have suited me better as I find the Large quite baggy above the waist. I would love to exchange these for a medium but unfortunately didn’t get to try them on until 1 month + after they arrived (ordered these, then left town on extended travel…).
On the upside, the pad is comfortable and I like the subdued styling.
If anyone at Rapha reads this and can help please let me know; overall I’m disappointed in the fit and quality of these bibs.

Perfect knicks
These are hands down the best knicks I've ever owned and ridden in. The chamois is perfect and will keep you comfortable for any session in the saddle, regardless of length of time. They're a well constructed and high quality garment that will last seasons if cared for appropriately.
The long version is top notch if you enjoy extra length in your shorts and gives these an amazing feel, with the end sitting just above the quad muscle heads near your knee.

The perfect bib
Love it. The pad is not too thick and is very firm, which make it comfortable on long ride. They are my favorite bibs by far. I did wear them a few time already and they still look brand new, I'm confident they will last a long time. I'm short (170cm) but I like the long version, it cover perfectly just above the knee. The leg gripper are fantastic, they simply cannot ride up or move anywhere. Expensive, but worth it. I'm 59kg and the XS fit perfectly.

Nice pants fits good but the chamois is a problem
I bought the short also last year because it fits really nice. The only problem is the chamois. Now for the second time the chamois is cracking again on the fold at the front. Rapha was helping me really good to get a new one but I choose the powerweave pants because the chamois in that short is out one piece. I hope the problem is solved.

The long is option is a game changer
After losing 10 lbs due to cancer and the treatments to get rid of it, I was bummed to find most of my Rapha clothing is now to big for me. Being 6'2" 7 158 lbs. the long option of these in the small where just right. The biggest disappointment is realizing I have a lot of shorts that need to be replaced and the hit to my wallet coming in the future.
As for the shorts, you can expect to get that quality Rapha construction with a great silhouette.

Great Bibs
4 Rapha bib shorts purchased, Brevet, Core, Classic and now these. I'm my opinion best shorts money can buy, they just ooze style and comfort. These are in a different league to a pair of Castelli bibs I own. Perfect grip at the end so no riding up ur leg when you're peddling. Pad is super comfy, so no sore bum at the end of a long ride.
The only problem I have is that it's winter, so a couple more months until these bad boys are used again ;)

Great for long rides
I am 1m85 tall and 100kg. I need the XXL. This bib short runs a bit smaller than the brevet winter thights XXL. But Once in and driving it feels good for long (3+ hours) it feels great. The chamois is a real asset. only remark is that the bretels still seem somehow bit to short for me and pull rather hard in my shoulders. (though bit less while driving). overal excellent product but could maybe be slightly adapted for some more solid riders.

Awesome Bib Shorts
The second pair of Pro Team Shorts which I have and the quality and comfort is exceptional. I still wear my original ones which I purchased just over a year ago. They have provided me support on many rides since and they are still going strong. Thought I would go for the navy ones now and they look great. I am 179cm and weigh 75kg and the medium work brilliantly for me. Definitely recommend spending the money for a superb pair of bib shorts.

Nice comfortable bibs
The bibs are great for all around training and long rides. The only thing for me is they have not lasted very long for me. I wear holes in the seat pretty fast. I have even tried different saddles. Would be nice if the material on the seat area was a bit more sturdy. I have worn holes in the seat within a half of a season, and I have a lot of bibs I rotate. Otherwise the bibs are extremely comfortable and fashionable compared to other bibs.

High quality bib shorts
The fit and materials are excellent, and this is one of many pairs of Rapha bib shorts I have purchased. My only gripe is the leg grippers loosen as I pedal, this does not allow them to ride up, but looks odd. They go from being and looking fantastic to looking temporarily baggy at the gripper. I am not a cyclist with ‘matchstick thin legs’, so it’s not a matter of sizing. It’s a cosmetic issue as otherwise the performance is excellent.

Comfortable and classic
As a tall man at 6'3", having bib shorts with a long length is important for many obvious reasons: fashion, compression, and longevity. The dual density chamois used in these shorts is supreme in comfort, and the quality speaks for itself. I don't think I would rely on another for long rides or races. I wear 30-31" waist and wear medium for a little more give in the straps and thigh area. These bib shorts just fit and feel as shorts should.

Different size to original Pro Team bib shorts.
These are still my goto bib shorts but the sizings are not consistent with the previous Pro Team shorts. I ordered XL but then had to send them back as they were cutting into a tender area, I've so far not had the problem with the XXL but these are slightly loose on the cuff so will probably need shortening. Other than that they're still well made with a great chamois pad. It's a bit of a shame really as my older XL's still fit perfectly.

Great fit
At 6'1" bibs can be annoying to buy. While height requires a longer strap, being (or at least trying to be) lean calls for a smaller size for a better fit in the shorts. The straps on the mediums don't feel restrictive and the chamois is mega comfy. I put in a 220km ride on a second outing and they didn't feel packed out at all. Only complaint would be the chamois is placed ever so slightly far back for my.. but that's getting nit-picky!

Good bibs held back by a few small issues.
Good shorts with nice straps, but the chamois is a little thin. They feel like a 4 hr bib and not a 5+ hr bib. The length is nice and the material has a little bit of compression. The seams are nice, fit is solid and there is more good than bad about these bibs. As with the jersey, it seems that I've been set up by years of 'Rapha is tops' comments and I don't know that these bibs could have lived up to the expectation of greatness.

Pro Bibs Regular.
Bought the regular . Very pleased with the length. 25cm as equal another pair of bibs I have. I bought the pro as the Rapha logo is in black. I m not keen on bling and a white logo doesn’t work for me. Padding is excellent. Almost too spongey for my sweet cheeks. I like to feel the saddle. The fit is spot on although the front area of the pad could be a wee bit higher. Just to keep everything in place, if you know what I mean.
