Snug & Comfortable

No complaints about these bibs. I like the fit and they're more durable than many other bibs I've gone through.

Thank you for your feedback.

Go to Bibs

This is my third pair of Elite In-R-Cool Bib Shorts. They are more comfortable than three other brands I have purchased. The oldest pair seem as new as the most recent purchase. When I saw them on sale I made my latest purchase.

Thank you for your feedback.

My favorite

Best bib I've ever worn. I have 2 of these and will probably buy another. Great padding, not too thick but thick enough to make a difference. The fit is more true to size than euro cut bibs. I'm 5' 10, between 183-187 lbs, large fit perfect.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best bib short I've found

I've been buying my bibs from a well known bike etaiiler (their house label) but these bibs are far superior. About 30% more expensive but well worth it. I am now exclusively wearing these for my longer rides. They are very well made and comfortable but the 3-D shammy makes it worth the price!

Thank you for your feedback.

Very good, high quality. These shorts are now my favorites.

Shorts fit well. Materials are good high quality, mixed density to accommodate the higher friction areas.

Thank you for your feedback.

Extremely comfortable bibs

IMHO bib tops are one of the top advances in cycling over the past 50 years, right up there with all the technical improvements in bicycles. Compared to the old drawstring shorts, bib tops allow much fuller breathing and are more comfortable to boot. I haven't done a comprehensive comparison, but these PI's are definitely extremely comfortable. In particular PI's chamois is so comfortable that I don't bother with gel saddles or even chamois cream (so far at least). And the uppers are great, even on hot summer days. I prefer the all-black version I got a couple of pairs with the neon bands at the bottom of the legs and the neon color seemed to fade a bit with washing.

Thank you for your feedback.

Seems that the material does not wear well.

The short is comfortable however i have noticed that the material in the thigh area of each leg has thinned out. The issue with that is that i do not wear them that often.I would say less than 8 times. So i was dismayed to see that the wear is excessive for the times worn. The shorts were washed with other shorts that did not show this kind of wear. So, personally I would not buy this bib short again.

Thank you for your feedback.

Used to love my Pearl Izumi shorts, now I love my Bibs!

For years, I wore higher end Pearl Izumi shorts. I never understood the whole bib thing - more material, more expensive. Well, so many of my friends swore by them, I thought I would give them a try. They are fantastic. No more hoisting up the edges of my shorts as the waistband creeps down. The bibs give me a nice tucked in feeling all around. And with a jersey over the top, no one knows you look like a WWE guy from the 80s. The only drawback would be needing a bathroom break...I have yet to tackle that task, but I imagine it will involve getting mostly stripped!!

Thank you for your feedback.

Very happy with this bib short

This bib short fits well and is very comfortable. The leg cuffs don't cut off circulation and remain comfortable during a ride and don't creep. I found the shamois/padding to be good on does not chafe even after extended rides. I will be buying more

Thank you for your feedback.

Typical Pearl Izumi Quality

These short are typical of Pearl Izumi's consistent quality. The cut and fit are comfortable without being too compressive. The chamois is good for a long ride without being too bulky.

Comfortable, Forget that I'm wearing cycling shorts

Very comfortable, great cushioning, stays in place because of the bib. I'm 5-8, 155lbs and the medium fits me well. I'm going to get a pair of the Elite In-R-Cool Shorts to have those too. I'm super sensitive to the feel of material on my body while I workout, and that's why I choose this product.

Thank you for your feedback.
