So comfortable
The first time I rode in these shorts I could hardly tell I was wearing them... everything about them matches my body... the straps are wide, the pad is tapered round the outside so you don't feel the edge, and the fabric is somehow always at the same temperature as my skin. I have some core shorts too (they feel cool) and these are a noticeable improvement. Next time I might get black... this blue grey colour might show up patches of perspiration. Note, I've only done quite short rides so far. Building back up...

Nice looking bib but poor quality padding
I have to say that I expected that the quality of the bib padding would have been better for the price paid. I have purchased many lower end bibs from Louis Garneau and Jakaroo that had significantly better padding. The style and fit of bib is awesome too bad that quality of the padding doesn’t match. I would NEVER buy another Rapha bib. If I hadn’t thrown out the original packaging I would have 100% returned these.

Excellent Bib Shorts
Best pair of shorts I’ve owned. Normally a medium is too tight but what I need for my shorter height relative to my build but these were a great fit and flexed where I needed them to. Really comfortable around the seat area. Love the navy blue colour with the pink band at the bottom of the legs.

Leg lenght is the only issue.
One of my favourite BIBs. Great material, chamoix is super comfy (I recently rode a 530km gravel race in them, and felt some discomfort only during my last 50km). Side pocket is very spacious, doesn't affect any riding comfort even when fullfilled (cellphone, multitool, 2 power bars, some tissues). The only issue though is the leg lenght - I'm 6,2", wearing size L - and the leg lenght runs around 3/5 of my thigh, not a big issue but I prefer longer cut. Although - if you consider buying it - don't hesitate :)

Mostly great
Pad is comfortable for long days, washing well by hand and drying remarkably quickly. Fabric is a little more stretchy and smooth to touch compared to previous versions but still appears to work well in the wet. Side reflective texture has worn off however after a single 1600km bike pack.

Great for and all day comfort
Bought these bibs specifically for an ultra. Only put them on the third morning when already pretty raw down there. Despite this, still found them to be extremely comfortable and well fitting, even after crashing early in the day. In total spent 12 hours plus in them no problem.

Top quality but could use a second pocket
Top notch as you'd expect from Rapha. Chamois is really thick which is nice if you're into that -- I'd be happier riding the chamois my Core bibs from 2016 have, but that's just personal preference. The left leg could use a cargo pocket as well, as some cargo bibs from competitors already have. Reflective detailing is a nice touch, and for me absolutely decisive, living up north enough for it to become dark in the evenings in the late summer while the temperature still allows riding in regular short bibs.

Excellent bib shorts - worth it
Bought these as a treat for myself. Was always wary of the cost and possible hype but the bottom line is that these are excellent shorts. I’ve used many different makes in the past - these are the best I’ve ever worn. Quality, design and performance all 10/10. Recommended.

Comfort I have never had before@
The best bib shorts I have ever worn. Extremely comfortable and roomy enough to stuff a baguette down the front cycling home from the boulangerie. I particularly like the high front to the shorts and the wide shoulder straps.

Excellent comfort
I used this on a ultra, and after spending 27 consecutive hours on the saddle I survived without numbness or pain. It dries fast and the fabric feels very soft and nice. For long rides it’s worth the price in my opinion.

Digging these shorts
These are now my new favorite shorts. My buddies and I do rides typically 100+ miles and these shorts are great for long days on the saddle. I also dig the cargo pocket on the right thigh. Size Large, 195lbs, 5'9"

Overall great and sturdy bibs
Overall great and sturdy bibs, the cushion of the saddle part is really thick but price is still high... On another note for this price I would expect to have laser cut and very smooth pressure on the legs.

Uncomfortable leg grippers
Not my first pair of Rapha bib shorts, pad is great. This is the first pair that I have not found the leg grippers comfortable. I just can’t seem to get them comfortable on longer ride. Frustrating!

No Saddle Sore!
I would always get saddle sore about 2 hours into a ride. Not with these bibs! 4+ hours on the saddle and my butt feels like it could go another 4, h9ighly recommended.

My best Rapha bib
Out of the 5 Rapha bibs I currently use this is probably the best. Great fabric and fitting. On top of that the side pocket is really useful and not just a gimmick.

Beautiful but runs BIG
Retuned size L for a M. More generous than my three other Rapha bibs, especially the leg openings.cant rate performance but they appear well made and stylish.

Can't beat these!
Amazing bibs, wow! I wear them for endurance mountain biking. They are soft, have great compression, have an amazing chamois, and look fantastic.

Very comfortable bibs
Always love Rapha bibs. Worth the money. It will last a long time as long as you wash it as "delicate" and hang dry. Very comfortable bibs.

Bib shorts from Rapha never disappoint
I’ve been riding long distances (300km and more) wearing these shorts without any troubles. And they look great as well.

SUPERB BIRBS!
These are my favorite Rapha bibs so far! (And they even have the least camel toe, if you care about such things.)

Comfortable, excellente bib fabric but would expect better padding. Actually, I prefer the Classic Bib padding.

Product Failure
Stitching on bib failed after 1 month, currently in conversation with Rapha to get replaced, hopefully.

First time trying Rapha
I'm 180cm tall with a 84cm waist and 100cm hips so bought medium as per size guide. The Brevet bibs fit true to size. The material feel is thick and luxurious. They remain mostly comfortable for the duration of my rides except the chamois seems to ride up a little for me and I have to adjust it whilst riding. The longest ride I've done in these bibs is 120km so far and apart from the intermittent adjustment I need to make on the left side these bibs felt excellent 👌

Great choice for a long day in the saddle.
Great semi-relaxed fitting bib shorts. The outer pocket is useful for some food on a ride or easy phone/card access at the cafe. They're thicker and stretchier than the pro and class bibs. The green color is both unique and bright in real world usage. One thing I noticed is that the bottom of the shorts where the grippers are, is looser than the my other Rapha shorts, but they are by no means so loose that they move or cause any discomfort during the ride.
