Sportful Men's Bodyfit Pro LTD Bibshort

I've ridden them only 2-3 weeks so far so take that into consideration, but so far the padding is the best I've ever had as they provide great comfort on rides of 40 - 50 miles, 4 - 5 days a week. Compared to my other shorts that I've ridden more often like my Assos Mille, Castelli Free-Aero's, and Giordana Fusion, these Bibs have provided more consistent comfort on the long miles that I put in. So far these are the best I've ever ridden in the last 10 years of riding 6 - 9 thousand miles each season.

Very comfortable bib shorts. Straps are wide so they don't dig in. I usually wear a large in US made gear. I ordered a extra large and will get the next size up next time.

I bought these shorts on an excellent sale. I was looking for some higher end shorts and these seemed to be a good way to test the water. These shorts are great and have the best pad I have used and high quality materials. Very comfortable and soak up vibration from gravel roads. The fit is a bit tighter all over, but also specifically in the legs, than I prefer, but is correct according to the size chart. Seems to be euro fit style for very thin, straight builds. The legs are about two inches longer than other shorts too. That is not a bad thing, just different for me. I think I would look for a brand that fits me better if I were to pay full price.

Overall a very nice cycling bib short for warm weather riding. Good compression in the legs. Be careful with the shoulder straps as they are quite delicate. Some reviews say the straps are uncomfortable and cause irritation, I did not have this happen. As with all Sportful gear size up. I'm 5'11" and 160lbs and the large is a good but snug fit. Was hesitant about the brown color but I was pleasantly surprised on the color is really nice and a change of pace from black shorts. Only four stars because of the bib straps. A redesign and these become some of the best shorts on the market.

Exploring other brands than my normal castelli and LG and thought I'd give these a try. They're actually very well manufactured and comfortable. I've been a medium in everything (5' 10" 155 pounds, medium sized thighs) but ordered one medium and one large given the size warning. The mediums are very tight and fit like my race kit used to. The large just seems too large. While they also fit, they seem too long and don't have the muscle compression. I understand it's personal preference, but the mediums work way better for me.

I previously wore an XL in Sportful Total Comfort shorts but with pandemic pounds/age I sized up to XXL (6' 220lbs) on these and fit was great. Quality chamois, a step up from the Total Comfort - definitely a long ride short. The longer inseam WILL mess up your tan lines but hey your shorts will make you look so World Tour pro. Suspenders are indeed snug while standing and that's by design - you don't stand on your bike! Bought these on a Daily Special - if you spend two bills on shorts regularly (I sure don't!) I think you'll be satisfied with the materials, fit, and quality of these.

The Bodyfit Pro LTD Bibshort are excellent for racing and training. These are four season bibs that work well for most days through the year. Only in the extreme heat of summer I would opt for lighter grade lycra like Sportful R&D Celsius, or in cold days of winter i would opt for thermal lycra like Sporful Fiandre. The color options of red, brown and blue are a nice break from forever black bibs. The only downside of these bibs depending on your physic is that I would prefer the straps a bit longer. I'm 5.11 and wear size Medium. When I first put them on the straps feel tight over the shoulders. However, on a bike I don't notice it and after several it seems to stretch a bit as well. Was not a deal breaker for me as I own a pair in every color but beware if you have a taller physic.

Purchased recommended large size, I (5' 9", 160lbs) normally wear medium in Castelli, medium or large in Giordana (model dependent). The fit is long in the legs and compressive. These have the longest legs of any bib shorts I have ridden, but the length works. First try-on took a bit of work but improved after several washings while still maintaining a good compressive fit: the bibs are holding up well to cold machine washing and line drying. The pad has a good shape and is not overly padded, staying in place throughout rides. The straps are a little short and do have a rough hand to them. I have been wearing base layers underneath the straps and can not attest to how the straps would feel against the skin. Overall the material appears to be quality--no pilling, logo pealing, or seams coming undone. My most recent bibs have been Castelli where quality and pad fit have been issues, though I was riding a generation removed and hear improvements have been made.

Making the straps slightly longer with a softer hand and over so slightly less padding would make these great bibs excellent.

I was curious about the Sportful brand, BikeTiresDirect enabled me to try these bibs that I could not find in stores here and the east coast. I would consider buying another pair of Sportful bibs.

Great bibs but for one big flaw- They are longer than most and a inch or two shorter would have been nice but not a deal breaker, the chamois is great and the materials are very nice as is the fit .......but the straps are the worst I have have seen on any bibs. The are made of a rough harsh material. They roll up super easy and after a long ride my shoulders had what can best be described as rope burn. I can handle about 30 miles but longer than that and the straps are gonna make you pay. Which is too bad the fit and pad is great - they are a bit long but the straps are a deal breaker. Wish I would have returned these before I wore them. I would buy more Sportful but will look closer at the straps before buying.

Sportful

Uses quality materials and great fit, do not even know Im wearing them which is what I want. They have great compression, outstanding chamois pad, and fit well while aggressive cycling. Itallian sizing so pay attention your sizing charts from Sportful's website.

These are great. Size medium, 155 lbs and 5'-9". Good length, straps not too tight. Go well with sportful matching jersey.

Really like it. I normally use size MD. I ordered a LG. No complaints.

The best bib shorts I ever had. Chamois pad is outstanding comfort. Sizing runs a little small compared to American brands so be sure to size up and check your measurements closely with Sportfull�s size charts.

The shoulder straps are very comfy and a nice material not too tight, ordered large at 6�1� 75kg. The length of the short is longer then most, closer to the top of the knee, much longer then Castilli for example. Very compressive and a solid pad, have done 4-5 centuries on this bib and it�s great.

Great chamois, fit, and price! For reference on size/fit, I am 5'8" 170 and wear M in brands such as Pearl Izumi, Bontrager, and L in Giordana. Size L in these Sportful fit great.

The SPORTFUL MEN'S BODYFIT PRO LTD BIBSHORT is a very comfortable bibshort for long hours rides. I have use then in diverse weather conditions, including sunny, rainy and hot days without any problem. They are fresh, stay firm and my sit bones love it. This bibshort is a sound choice for medium to high level cyclist.

run small, but are comfortable... I bought them on sale, so I'm extremely satisfied..

Good fit, comfortable and looks good. Runs small had to exchange for XXL I am 6 foot 182 lb.

Definitely high quality but unfortunately it runs 2 sizes small.

Excellent quality bibs. The color is not your ordinary boring black.
