Louis GarneauMen's Neo Power Bib Short(Return to Product Page)

Having tried many shorts and been unhappy with the fit, comfort and the craftsmanship, I finally sprung for these bibs. Right away there was a noticeable difference. They're very comfy on long rides. The chamois stays in place and the bibs themselves seem to wear very well. After 30-40 washes, they still look new. I've already purchased a second pair. One of the better apparel choices I've made. Highly recommend these.

Bibs provide good compression on legs. Good fit and cushioning. I am 6' and 180 lbs. and a Large fits great.

Bibs fit very snug and provide great support. My favorite bibs.

The chamois is excellent comfort.

I bought this bib at a friends recommendation and it hasn't disappointed. Good construction and excellent padding allow for really comfortable longer rides.

I use these bib shorts for road and mountain biking. They provide great compression. The chamois is ver comfortable, never had any problems with chafing or irritation. Great durable material, shorts will last long even with very frequent use.

The fit, length and material.

These are my second pair. Comfortable for racing, training, and long rides. Great chamois. My only complaint is the length in the legs is a bit long for me.

Bibs are comfortable. Having no seam at the bottom of the thigh is great as well. I did notice that the length of the shorts are longer than the length of a Pearl Izumi shortbib. Chamois is comfy as well, even on a 100 mile ride. Durability has been good so far, have used the shorts maybe 12 times since purchase.

3 months in a pair of redblack and the chamois de-laminated internally. part of the padding came loose from the rest and ended up in a ball on one cheek. Tossed them.

I am a big fan of these bibs. The chamois isn't that big that I feel like I get the diaper style feeling, but enough to provide good padding, even for a 250 mile weekend.

I purchased these based on the plethora of favorable reviews so I can only surmise that my experience is something to do with a change in manufacture quality.

The Good

I am about about 5'10 165 and I ordered a medium. The fit was slightly compressive, the pad and suspenders were perfect. I got the red accented shorts and I thought they looked pretty snappy.

The Bad

The first issue was the length of the legs. They extended down to my knees, which was extremely annoying. Rolling up the legs fixed the issue, but I have no idea why the legs were that long. Initially, I really liked the chamois, it was thin and offered a nice minimal pad. However I had them for a little over 3 months before the fabric on the pad started pilling. I have never had to use chamois butter on shorts, but if I wish to continue wearing these I think that is the only option. Then the foam just collapsed and started folding up in a most uncomfortable way. I have an assortment of other brand shorts and none have had this issue. I can only assume that LG started sourcing inferior quality pads for their shorts. If these were a sub $100 short, I would have shrugged and said you get what you pay for, but at the current price they should have held up better. It pains me to toss a pair of shorts that look brand new, but I can't see a way of salvaging them and they currently cause me physical pain to wear for anything more than a ride around the block.

These are the best shorts you can buy especially for the price, they are so comfortable! The compression fabric really helps to keep your leg muscles feeling fresh and helps reduce soreness. The padding is very nice, soft, supportive and doesn't buch up at all. Also the padding has many rows of perforated holes around the outer edges to aid in cooling. The shoulder straps are nice and wide and also stay in place quite well, no problems with them sliding off your shoulders. The fabric for the shorts and the bib area both breathe extremely well and these shorts are great for even the hottest days in the saddle. They look sharp with the colored stitching and colored leg grippers, sizing seems to be accurate!

These bibs are a great value. There are bibs that are much more expensive but why pay more when these do such a fine job?

The fit feels a bit tight when you first put them on (I'm 5'11', 155lbs purchased size medium). but on the road they feel really nice, not tight at all.

The padding surprised me, it's as though my saddle isn't even there. I first rode on the trainer for about 30 minutes just to be sure the bibs would be comfortable enough on the road. First road ride was a 200K brevet, wonderful....and usually with the saddle I currently have (Bontrager Inform) after about 80 miles I start to think about getting a different saddle. But not with these bibs, nice the entire ride.

Can't comment on the durability at this time as I haven't had them long enough to know how they will hold up in the long run. But based on fit,comfort and price I'd say these are my favorites for sure. Plan on purchasing another pair when my older bibs need replacing.

Have used for just a half dozen rides or so. Good compression and comfortable chamois. Large is a little snug in the groin area (6'3 200lbs), but I think (hope) it will form fit nicely with additional use. Purchased for century rides and am optimistic at this point that the LG Neo Power Bib will perform very well.

Great comfort great fit! did a century in these shorts, felt fantastic on my butt

Great leg support, fits me perfectly, straps stay in place on shoulders, chamois works for me, durable, the spine pocket holds my insulin pump perfectly. LG, DONT discontinue this product!!!

I bought a pair of these bib shorts after reading the reviews, when I saw them on sale. I can say without a doubt they were well worth the money I paid. I plan on buying another pair whether they are on sale or not. I haven't tried the most expensive LG shorts but I don't feel I need to. These are better than the PI products I currently have. Great compression and I love the pad, firm yet comfortable and I doesn't soak up sweat like the others I own!! Well worth the price.

I love these bibs. They are very comfortable for long rides. They do not have elastc grippers on the legs, just a compression fit, which is more comfortatble and they stay in place just fine. The pad is plenty thick and makes for a nice ride.

great all-around bibs. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that I normally wear Specialized bibs because their chamois is pretty much the gold-standard for me. These come a close second. The look is superb and the fit is great.
