Review by Les
As a serious cyclist of more than 30 years, averaging 5500 miles per year, I have had ample opportunities to try a myriad of bibs. I have mostly used Assos and Giordana, however, I can't justify paying $300 or more for a pair of shorts. I read some of the reviews on the Mckenzie and with a good sale price, decided to give them a try. Last week I did my first rides in them, one was 70 miles with 5700 ft of climbing and the other was 100 miles with 4000 ft of climbing. Let me just say that I was very satisfied. My Assos are now my number 2 short and my McKenzie's are my number one for long distance. I hope that the price remains reasonable and there are no short cuts in material.

Nice bibs, I've been wearing them now for about 2 months. Super high quality lycra, multipanel for great fitting, if not tight fit, chamois is pretty nice as well.
I wear XL in Pearl Izumi, by all accounts per the fit chart, and other reviews, these shoud be a great fit for me at XL.(im 6'-198). They are supposed to be a compression fit, but these are a actually small for me. Thought they'd be ok, and stretch a bit with wear, but not the case. Should have ordered the XXL, even though my waist is 36 at most. These are a great deal on sale for sure.

I'm 6'4, 205. Compared to the LG Neo Power bib in XL, these bibs were too big and not as much compression. Will need to try the L. Quality looks excellent.

Great value and very comfortable - first ride was 80 miles, no issues. Durability is tbd, but they seem well made. Trick is the sizing. I followed the recommended sizing and ordered a L. Doable but not ideal. Returned for XL, they're perfect. I'm 6'1, 190 lbs. The best part of the order was dealing with Western's customer service, they're simply awesome and aim to please. Size exchange was quick and easy, no complaints, they've earned more of my business.

I typically ride 40 miles The chamois was fine, comfortable, but these shifted up way too high on the thighs, not enough compression, were not long enough
Review by PDXVelo
I picked these up a couple months ago and just now got around to wearing them as we emerge from winter.
My training bike doesn't have the best saddle in the world and 5 minutes into the ride I caught myself asking the question, Why is my backside so comfortable? These shorts!
Today was just a quick one hour training ride, but I am looking forward to some longer days in the saddle to see how the McKenzie Bib holds up, I have no reason to believe it won't be a great ride.

I've worn these bibs on a few 80 mile rides and love them. I've had issues with other bib's chamois on longer rides however not with these - they have a great race fit without compromising in comfort. The compression fit makes for a shorter length however I don't mind more leg exposure. I would totally suggest a pair, or two.
Review by D-Nice
I just recently picked these up as they look great and I wanted to try something different than the normal scorpion branded bibs I usually rock. First off, I was impressed with the comfort of the chamois. It is very plush with out feeling too bulky. Also, I really like the compression bands at the bottom of the legs. They really keep them in place and my tan will be tight this summer. As far as the sizing, I am 6 feet tall and about 175 and the large size felt good.
Overall I feel these are a great product and I would recommend.

Picked up a pair of these to replace some castelli bibs that i've had for a few seasons. I liked the castellis but overall I'm happier with these so far. The material feels more durable and the compression is great. The size medium is a bit tighter than the medium castellis, but probably only due to the compression band. The chamois is comfortable also, I'm looking forward to getting a few really long rides in them and seeing how they hold up.
I'm picking up a second pair.

Good solid bibshort. It may run just a bit on the small side compared to some bib shorts. I am stockier than some cyclists, at 57 and 165 lbs, and the large bib fits me fine.
Review by VB
Let me start by saying that these are primo quality and super comfortable. From the fabric to the chamois, everything is top notch with durable construction. And no lame silicone grippers to tug on hairs of non-shavers. When you factor in Western's pricing (they always seem to be on sale) these are really hard to beat.

read reviews, based sizing on that and missed badly. I'm 200lbs, just under 6'-0 (32 inseam, 35 waist) and can't possibly wear the XL. The 2XL is snug but comfortable, and still just barely long enough to match my torso. Leg length is not excessive - actually the shortest of all my XL gear. Some companies think XL means XLong-tall, but not in this product. Pad is one of the best I've used. At close out prices, this is a tremendous bargain. Consider stocking up.
Review by caxambu
great fit over all but the legs are a bit short for my preference they come to mid-thigh on me ... comfortable for longer rides
Review by HudsonVelo

Best bibs ever owned

These bib shorts are comfortable and functional for the price. Seems like the stitching is very strong. The chamois padding is good took me a couple of rides to get used to maybe there is a breakin period. Overall would recommend.

Have been using these bibs on a regular basis for the past 2 years. I just bought another and they were a screaming deal when on sale.
The chamois has retained its shape and feel after several dozen washes and multiple hour long rides and even a few cyclocross races.
Review by Focus Rich
I purchased two pairs of these bib shiorts and both pairs did not hold up well for more than a few rides. The chamois pad got uncomfortable which resulted in saddle sores. The logos all but disappeared after cold water washing and the shoulder strap elastic got loose.

Nice compression. Fits similar to Pearl and LG. Leg length is slightly shorter than most, at least in the XL size. Great Chamois. These are my go-to shorts for rides over 50 miles.
Review by jdwood
shorter than I am used to but I expected that. quality seems good. a little tight in shoulder strap, I am 5'10'. I don't think I would buy again but am happy at the sale price.
