Disappointing fit and performance
Very strange fit - compressive for about 4 inches at the bottom of the very long legs and then progressively looser toward the waist. Little compression on my mid and upper thighs even though I got a size that should have been very tight on me. Never had this with any other bibs

Excellent! With one exception…
When I first tried these on I thought they were too tight and that I had obviously purchased the wrong size. They were not returnable so I gave them a shot and it turns out that I may actually need to size down! I normally wear a medium in castelli and sportful so I thought a small would suffice based on what I had read. I should have trusted Rapha’s size chart. The chamois is easily the best I’ve ever used and if I had picked xs instead of s I believe that I would be totally thrilled about these.

Top quality
By far the best bibshort I ever worn. Light and comfortable with original and aggressive design. They’re really expensive but if you can afford their cost, buy them!

Overall not good enough for price
Good function, but huge problem with sweat marks. Although these bibs are marked to use in mild to hot weather the sweat marks are terrible. Make sure you don’t want to stop for coffee if you’re wearing these.

Great Bibs for hard or hot days!
I have three pairs of these, and I love the fit and compression. The best part is that it stays in place without irritating the skin. I had that issue with pro-team bibs during long rides. It has great padding, is breathable, and looks great! The only thing I would complain about is that the overalls could be more starchy for tall guys. I am 6'3, 190 lbs, wearing size medium.

Really Nice. But Pro Team II are still better.
After years using exclusively the Pro Team and Pro Team II (both in Long) I decided to test the Powerweave as the summer sale price was seductive. I was also intrigued as I work in the material space and engineered knits have long held promise but remained inferior to woven materials for performance applications. Boring I know. These shorts are really nice. Same length as Pro Team long which I was very thankful for. As other reviewers have suggested the braces are short and the material unforgiving while standing but in the riding position they are fine. I don't love the material though. The edge finishing is a bit abrasive. The pad and positioning are excellent. Now onto the actual short - the material is less breathable and more compressive than I expected. It's actually much warmer and functionally the material is too compressive for me. I think that these will be best used in the shoulder season with warmers. For me, the Pro Team II Long is still the best short in the world.

Excellent shorts
When I first tried these on I thought they was to small,as they quite smug. But after a few minutes in them realised how comfortable they were would definitely buy another pair find them better than the pro bib shorts what I find can be quite warm to wear. They expensive but worth the money.

You Get What You Pay For
These are the best Rapha bib shorts I've ever purchased. The fit is impeccable, the pad is different- and more comfortable- than the other Pro Team bibs that I own, and the fit and finish of the fabric, seams, etc. is absolutely impeccable. These are better than Assos bibs.

Best ever bib shorts - no lie!
Best shorts I have ever owned - how do I know this? I’ve just finished a 1200m cycle through Italy. I had an old pair with me and this new pro pair. Best fitting, most comfortable (6-7hrs a day) seamless design made them speedy and smooth whilst riding. Love them lots!!!

Extra tight all around.
The first time you put them on, you got to be careful because the legs and crotch area fits really, really tight; you have to be cautious no to damage them. Once you break them in (literally heard a stitch crack), they get better... Only used them 3 times so far.

Worth the money
The compression on these bibs feel amazing! I will admit initially when putting on the straps, they do feel much tighter as I have muscular traps. However after a few minutes they feel just fine. I ended up ordering the 2 pair in diff colors. (Blue and Brown)

Great Bibs for big thigh boys
Great Bibs for big thigh boys - I had problems with traditional bibs with the elastic fitting my legs. The knit design of this product eliminated this issue since this material is more forgiving than elastic in terms of fit, and lifetime quality.

Nice style and high compression
Nice looking bib with high compression. It is light and tight. I’m 166cm and 60kg and bought size S. It fits well and tighter than the brevet bib that I have. I dries fast and the chamois is more dense. I prefer this chamois than the brevet one.

4th pair of these I have (each in an different colour) super comfy and zero rubbing from any seams, fit well, some of the best bibs on the market. My first pair I’ve had for 2 years and they’ve been used a lot and not showing signs of wear

Quality, quality, quality indulgence
These were an indulgence. Fortunately, I found them on the Rapha Sale and said: I am worth it. The fit provides nice compression, the padding seems great for the long rides, and they look marvelous.

My favorite BIB. The third in line
My favorite BIB. The third in line. Comfortable, provides support in the right places and fits like a glove. Can withstand 1000s of kilometers without changing either shape. The padding is superb.

Top flight bibs the perform as advertized.
Feel fabric supporting your riding muscles. Great chamois, you hardly notice it. Shoulder straps stay flat and feel great in riding positions. Neat looking bibs.

Rapha for the win. Again.
Great fit, as comfortable (or more?) than Rapha Pro Race bibs...and like that the length is in between regular and long Pro Race bibs. Comfy. Good looking.

Too tight in the groin.
I wanted to like these and kept riding in them, but they are so tight in the groin. I think this is due to the short torso. I prefer the Brevet Bibs by far.

The best Rapha bibs
The Powerweave are imo the pinnacle on comfort for serious cyclists. Compressive, minimal and a superb chamois. I only wish there was a black version.
