V long shorts but also v comfy.
Had to go down a few sizes from measurements! I’m a 16 but ended up in a large. The xl were baggy on my legs-we don’t all have chris hoys thighs even if we cycle.
Good upper half (I have a long body) and comfy. But. I wish the shorts were not so long. They literally graze the tops of my knees which is not so flattering as a but if up per legs gives definition to your shape and legs! They do stay put though and however the bottom of the shorts in manufactured I congratulate the designer. No rising up at all.

Go to Bib shorts.
I love these bibs, I like the slightly longer leg length (compared to most other branded bibs I’ve tried/owned) and the chamois is really comfortable. I can spend the majority of the day on a long route in the saddle with no issues whatsoever. Find them reasonable priced for Rapha too.

Really good!
Really great! I've been struggling to find the right shorts an must admit I was sceptical when these arrived, because the chamois seems quite "stiff". I was definitely proven wrong in my scepsis, because these are awesome. Happy I bought them right in time for my bikepacking holiday!

Good comfortable bib
Good quality and comfortable chamois. Bit long in length; I’m 165cm (5’5) and these are 5cms longer than any of my other bibs, tho maybe they are cut longer and I just didn’t catch that in the description. Washes and dries well as per the directions. Would buy another pair.

Unfortunate ‘upgrade’ of the chamois
Would give 5-stars, but Rapha has unfortunately ‘upgraded’ the chamois, and the new chamois is way too big, thick and inflexible. Had bought the same bips about 2 years ago, and the chamois was perfect. Otherwise very good bip shorts, shame about the chamois.

High quality but no pockets.
High quality and doesn’t feel too different than my partner’s pricey rapha. Only bummer is no pockets (Explorer bibs were sold out in my size, otherwise may have got those). Didn’t think it I would be a big deal but finding I really so miss them.

Expensive but worth it
I thought that people just say this is good because of the brand. But I now know why they say so; it’s comfy, breathable, nice-looking and perfect for any type of ride. Indeed worth all the money.

Excellent chamois
I was struggling with saddle sores and decided to give these a try. Sores are gone! Fits true to size, and bibs very comfortable for long road and gravel riding. Will definitely buy again.

Core Bib Shorts
I would recommend these bib shorts to a friend. I think they are true to size. I normally only ride for a couple of hours at a time and find them super comfy.

Best bibs ever.
Best bibs ever. Hands down. I just finished a 500 mile ride in these, and loved them every minute. No sliding, well shaped chamois, and super durable.

Don’t buy
I really don’t like these. The pattern of the lining is super uncomfortable and ruined a recent long ride. If I hadn’t worn, I would return.

Quality going down
They are different than last year, and the fabric seems lower quality. I don't think these new ones are worh the price tag.

Core shorts
Great shorts but please consider a matching gilet to go with the Rapha 100 jersey to tone or contrast.

Not for me I am afraid.
Returned as material too heavy for me and pad bulky and hard. Can’t complain about returns policy though

Great bar a few niggles
Great especially in hot weather. Annoyingly I’m between sizes and the colour runs even on a cold wash!!

Great bibs but bigger than expected. I am 5'9 62kg and the Small chafes me as it is too big.

I struggle finding the right bibs and Rapha's women core bibs are perfect.

So bad
I bought a pair of these around 2018 and they were my favorite bibs; so comfy and the pad was amazing. The 2022 edition sucks hard. The pad is horrible; very hard, too thick, not form fitting. I immediately got a huge saddle sore after only a 60min indoor ride. DO NOT BUY
