Bibs with pockets

I started wearing bibs with pockets a couple years ago when riding gravel and now wear them on the road as well. These bibs are ultra comfortable on long rides - both gravel and road.

I would buy these again!

Thank you for your feedback.

No Improvement Needed

This bib is outstanding in every way! Fit, function, appearance, comfort. In my experience, the discontinuance is onlya business decision. No improvement is/was needed. But, if PI does somehow improve this bib it should be spectacular!

Thank you for your feedback.

Pockets add storage and retain comfort

Good value. Decent chamois. Pockets work well and don�t feel invasive or uncomfortable. Maybe just the way they fit me but they seemed to catch the front of the bike saddle more as I changed position on the bike than I recall for other shorts

Thank you for your feedback.

Checks all the boxes

Suspenders are perfect. Compression is good but I prefer a little more. Chamois is great and I like it better than their new Levitate Chamois. It lasts fine through a 30 mile ride. The floating top sheet reduces friction. Legs fit fine and the silicone gripers keep them from riding up.

I wear between large and XL so I bought XL. The Large might have given me more compression . P.I. gives a generous cut unlike the European ones except Endura which I also like a lot.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great bibs, great price

These bibs are as comfortable and functional as more expensive cargo bibs I own by other manufacturers. They're very well made, and the forest green color is nice if you're tired of wearing black shorts all the time. The leg gripper is the grippy-stuff-inside-the-hem variety, instead of the wider leg band that most companies are using these days, but it's a wider hem and it lays nice and flat. The straps are very minimal, so they're very comfy if you wear these without a base-layer. I'm wearing these often on 20-50 mile rides on pavement and gravel.

I'm 5'11 and 145 lbs., and a medium fits me perfectly (everyone who reviews cycling clothing should include this very important tidbit of information).

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent ssummer weight short

This is the secon "cargo short" that I have tried, and like them both. To be fair, I am a older ridder and ridding about 2,500 miles a year, now for my pleasue. I am not a fan of the lasor cut straps, and the leg length on these are a bit longer than I prefer, but ok. While the extra pockets arn not always used, they are big help help when needed. They hold everything from bars to the lense cap from my camera= HANDY!

Thank you for your feedback.

For long rides

I've only used these a couple of times. They are very comfortable and this would be my first choice on 100km+ rides especially on rough roads. The downside is the chamois is pretty bulky and off the bike its definitely feels like you are wearing diapers. On the bike the chamois works well and provides a lot of cushioning. The leg pocket is a nice feature and the shoulder straps very comfortable.

Thank you for your feedback.

10 hours easy

These bibs are as they advertise super light weight, the straps with no seems are like ghosts & the pocket on the back is great for a soft bottle on long summer hot rides. To prove it to you I got a second pair their that good

Thank you for your feedback.

Comfortable and practical

Used this bib on my first century ride and was very impressed with its comfort and fit. The storage pockets come in handy especially since I rode sleeveless and didn't have any jersey pockets available. This is one of my favorite bibs to wear. I wish they had more colors available, the the forest green bib with an orange baselayer is fire.

Thank you for your feedback.

Very well made

Shorts were very comfortable. Well made. As well as very versatile. Liked the pockets. The straps seem a little flimsy, but so far are doing the job. Would definitely recommend.

Well made bibs, but the chamois is not comfortable for me

I really want to like these bibs, but the chamois was not comfortable on any ride over an hour. I do like the side pockets.

These breathe so well on a hot day. Couldn�t believe I could ride 2 hours and just not think about some discomfort but these proved me wrong.

Good price - not sure on durability just yet.

The sizing suggestions were accurate. The chamois is more on the soft side and I prefer a little more density. Other than that it works well and the grippers are great. Can't beat the price too.

Thank you for your feedback.
