Straps are too far apart on the front.
Overall, this is a fantastic bibshorts.Comfort, color and the pockets, however, the HUGE disappointment are the straps! There are lot far apart, my nipples cannot be covered and it’s really awkward and uncomfortable for the nipples to be rubbing on the jersey. ( I don’t want to wear a base layer as it already warm enough here) Is this a defect? if it is, I will want a replacement.

Good stuff
Great bibs. This is my first pair of bibs with the cargo pockets, they're excellent. Wish all my bibs had them. Good quality, classic Rapha style, can't go wrong. My only slight complaint is that they do fit a little on the tight side - I usually wear a medium in most bibs (all brands) no problem, these ones are very tight. I'm hoping they loosen up a bit after a couple washes.

Comfortable and Versatile
These have quickly become my go-to bib shorts. The pockets are especially useful for gravel rides when I don’t necessarily want to be in full lycra road kit, but prefer a long sleeved tee with no pockets for a looser, more ‘informal’ feel. The cut and style are superb and the pad is simply the most comfortable I’ve ever come across. A top product without paying silly money.

Good Rapha stuff
Like these a great deal. Not my first set of Rapha bibs. Love the materials and construction ; good for the long run, even the cargo pockets on which Rapha did not take any short cuts. If you are following washing instructions properly you will more than get your moneys’ worth. I am 5 foot 9, 32 in waist , a trifle heavy 173 lbs, size L. Fit is snug and supportive w/out chafe.

Pockets Make Perfect
These bib shorts are awesome. While I do wear jerseys still, I really like wearing the technical t-shirt because of its super lightweight and breathable properties. These bibs allow me to do that and carry my essentials in the summer. The black and blue options provide many pairing options. I like the fit and finish of these over the regular, more expensive cargo bib short.

Great bibs, not so great Shipping
Fit and feel are generally on point for Rapha gear. the strap design is a little uncomfortable with the strap going across the back of your neck, id rather just have two shoulder straps. what kills me is the shipping coming from the UK to Texas. Shopping from other European retailers ive received products in half the the time my Rapha orders take, rather disappointing.

Great comfort and well fitted
Amazing comfort, after 5-6 hours in the saddle the pad is still doing its job well, this really helps with fatigue.
Good length in the leg, and the upper body straps are a good length. The waist band can be a little annoying if you haven’t pulled it right up.
The leg pockets are my new found ‘can’t go without’. Excellent for on the move snacking just before a big climb.

Very comfortable, slightly too long legs
They are great. I bought the version with the additional storage pockets. The only point, which other people have commented on is the length of the legs. They are just slightly too long. Even if they were reduced by a cm or two, it would improve the fit for me. I need to make sure that I have fully pulled them up before riding or the end will tickle the back of my knee.

These were my first set of Bibs and although Ive only done 400km in them so far ive really enjoyed them. To be honest I'll probably never buy bibs without pockets they're awesome and so far surprisingly durable ... I tend to set off with two bananas on one leg and a phone on the other, Tube + rain jacket in the back pockets and I really don't notice them. Brilliant.

Little Black Bib Shorts
I’m going to give this 4 stars because it is winter and I have worn it. It fits perfectly. Looks good. I can’t wait to start wearing it once winter is over. The pockets on each leg is a bonus. I would definitely recommend it. I’m going to purchase another one in black and one in blue. Since I haven’t worn it outside of trying it on I give it a 9 out of 10.

Straps too far apart
Pretty good, these are my first bibs from Rapha I’ve previously bought a few jerseys from here. I’m a size large bib everywhere else so that’s what I bought. I find the shoulder straps are too far apart so when you’re riding they go more on the side of your chest as opposed to be right in the middle. It’s not a big issue, just a bit annoying when your riding.

Best Bib shorts in 10 years of Road cycling
Best everyday Bib shorts I have ever worn in my 10 years of cycling. Comfortable, rugged, suspenders are strong and comfortable. Love the extra side and back pockets. I can unzip my jersey in hot weather without having any gear flopping in the wind The seams wrap comfortably around my thighs. Have not worn any of my old ones yet again. Very pleased and happy.

Hard to go back to my non-cargo bibs after these
6'4/185lbs or so here, fit is great - good length and hits a proper height in front (read as: no muffintop issues). Great quality overall, especially given this is the 'low end' line. The cargo pockets are such a game changer, feels more secure for my ID than in a floppy jersey pocket on my back. Only gripe for me is I wish the pad was a bit more dense.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
5'11" and 185lbs. I would say I am a full build kind of rider and the large is solid. Fits tighter than the more expensive cargo bib. As per the usual RAPHA standard, these are well made bibs. I took them out the bag, did a quick rinse and dry and then took them on a 100mi gravel ride. No break in necessary, and felt comfy the whole ride. Would recommend.

Okay just a bit tight!
Great and comfy material and the side pockets come very handy. I ordered size M (I am 182cm) and it mostly fits me but feel after 2-3 hours riding it starts to be really tight on my upper thighs. Take note of that when you lift and have bigger thighs.
What I am not happy about is the country of manufacturing. Really Rapha? Do you support such a regime?

Excellent bib shorts.
I love these bib shorts, after seeing someone at a sportive with them I bought a pair for myself. The extra pockets are great especially the leg pockets which I use for keeping the energy bar I’m eating over an hour or so, and then disposing of wrappers Safety in the other leg. I find them very comfortable over rides of 3 hours plus and even in the wet.

Perfect fit and perfect value; a killer combo!
Absolutely perfect product from Rapha. Bib is just the right tickness for all day comfort and the pockets on the side and the back of the shorts make it incredible for bikepacking or long day adventures. You will also be motivated to NOT throw your wrappings into our beautiful nature. Fit is great, looks are great, price is great. What more do you need?

Ok but not great
Sadly disappointed, the quality of the fabric feel really good and the pockets are really nice to use when you get of the bike, but for me the shape is pretty uncomfortable when I’m standing on the pedals, also the base is thick but doesn’t save your bottom from some pain in a long ride, I have much thinner pants that are more comfortable on long rides

My go to bibs for gravel
Very good quality bibs, especially for the price, and the extra storage space is nice to have. The only negative I've found is that for me they are a little bit saddle or geometry specific. The chamois is perfect on my gravel bike for endless hours but starts to let me down after a couple of hours on my road bike. How much better could the pro bibs be?

Amazing bibs for the price
Very comfortable bibs. These are good for 2-4 hours of riding. the cargo pockets are a blessing for those quick coffee stops wherein you'd need a pocket for your phone or money. the chamois is contoured perfectly to my buttocks and cradle my sitbones well. with an entry products like these i reckon the more expensive ones are like sitting on clouds.

Good until they're not
They fit well and are comfortable up until they shred. These barely last one season before the elastic is all gross looking and theres white spots all over where it's worn out. And I'm only riding on average around 10 hrs/week. I have old bibs from other brands that are going on 5+ years with no trouble. Won't be recommending or buying these again.

Great & practical
These are my first pair of Cargo Bibs and I love them. The fit is great but so practical to get to my phone or energy gel. when I don't have anything in the pocket the Rapha emblem shows through the mesh Pocket and looks very cool, overall I am getting more of these as they are great comfort for long rides and the value for the price is unbeatable.

Great kit
Lost a bit of weight so had to downsize from L to M. Decided to get the cargo bib and you can’t go wrong. Quality kit from Rapha as always. Fits like a glove, and the pockets are handy for carrying small things you need for a ride. I pop my garage remote or house key in there when I don’t wear a jers with pockets. I got another one straight away.

A must have to road/mtb/gravel
Ok I will be honest at a glance I refused to get Rapha and I said those cargo pockets look awful. The reality is that they are amazing now I can not live with them it is super versatile you can your phone, wallet, energy bar etc etc.
Things that I should enhance the pad/chamois is not what I expected for the price other than that it is a must.

Lived Up to the Hype
Great shorts. Fit is great (M 185cm 75kg). Length is spot on, straps are comfy, no complaints about the pad. The pockets are a game changer. You don’t notice them if you’re not using them, but then it’s so convenient to throw your phone, or even wrappers in them. I don’t know if I would ever buy a pair of bibs without pockets again. Top notch!

Good value but not as durable as Bib Shorts
Lot’s of value for the money considering it’s Rapha. Fabric not as durable as my older Classic Bib Shorts. After one ride on a saddle with some scuff marks there was a significant abrasion spot. Something I did not experienced before with my Classic bibs. Really like the cargo pockets. Fabrics feel stiffer but not very noticeable when riding.

Perfect for longer gravel rides
Extra pockets make it perfect for longer gravel rides with fewer food stops in between. I saw the chamois pad was stitched together noticebly different to other bibshorts, but I did not notice that it felt different. Hoping that these bibshorts last and don't go sheer quickly, which I have seen on the back of other people's core bibshorts.

Cargo bib shorts
Good quality shorts comfortable, pad was good done a few 6 hr rides no problem even if the pad is thinner than my van rysel which I love but are wearing out, the cargo pockets are great to grab a energy bar or to grab phone to take a snap shot. Only thing seem a bit longer but when riding they ride up a bit so fit well and are supportive.

Best bibs yet!
Big lift over previous bibs. Extremely comfortable with much less discomfort from the padding on longer rides. The high back pockets free up space in shirt pockets by taking stuff you need but don't use while riding (like phone and glasses) and the leg pockets are great for small stuff like keys/ID etc. Haven't tested "waterproof" yet...

Comfy with good storage
I’m 185cm/72kg and order size S and M to try. Opted for the S for the tighter fit around the leg but either would’ve been fine. Used on a few long rides and the shorts are nice and comfy. The material feels good quality and the extra storage is brilliant for stowing extra snacks, phone, empty wrappers etc. great shorts at a decent price.
