Description

Bib shorts for high temperatures

Designed for hot and humid conditions, in a super lightweight fabric, our Souplesse Flyweight Bib Shorts feature the same shaping and fit as the new Souplesse Bib Shorts II.

High-wicking and fast drying, the fabric is featherlight and gives the impression of being barely there, yet still offers excellent coverage.

Cut and shaped to sit perfectly on your legs in the on-bike position, we’ve eliminated unnecessary seams, streamlined the fit and removed excess fabric to avoid fabric bunching at the hip. A new, low profile and lightweight gripper gives a supportive but not overly-tight fit at the thigh.

The transparent mesh upper is incredibly light and features high-stretch bonded trims to eliminate chafing, rubbing and hot spots, without compromising on fit.

Details includes reflective logo and reflective tabs on the legs and a signature Souplesse centre back stripe.

Fit

Pro Fit

For training and racing

Designed to sit close to the skin, with a high stretch fabric that hugs the body. Pro fit is applicable to our Pro Team, Shadow and Souplesse ranges.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Snuggly Fit I purchased these bib shorts because I absolutely LOVE my other pair of Rapha bibs. These were slightly different in the fit then the others I own but I love the differences. They are more fitted through the hips with smoother lines. Same great saddle pad, a huge reason I love these shorts. Long rides are no problem in these. The length of the short is also slightly longer, which may have been noted, but I didn't realize it until I got them on. Again, no problems there. I am 5'9, 130 and the small fits perfectly.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Sizing issues. I have a pair of these shorts already and love them. However, I have returned these for exchange as they appear to be considerably smaller than my existing pair - I couldn’t pull them further than my thighs. A bit frustrating as I am the same size as when I bought the last ones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Souplesse Flyweight Bibs Very happy with size and cut, they are so comfortable and light, have only done long rides with them, they just move with you, fabric feels great. Have just ordered another pair

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very small fit Bought thiese for cycling in Spain as find the classic shorts too warm. Bought a pair in black/pink and black/white. The black/ white medium , fit fine (I am size 10- but don't like my shorts too tight). The black/ pink in the same sixe ( med) were way smaller. I exchanged for a large, which to be honest were no different. Don't understand what has happened there Rapha.....

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Different fit than regular souplesse bib shorts I bought them hoping they would fit as well as the souplesse bib shorts I normally wear . They were tighter at the waist and the straps were too close to the boobs

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love love love it This was my first Rapha bib purchase and I am loving them. Have tried multiple brands in the past. Kept holding off on Rapha because they didn’t have anything that offered quick access for nature breaks, but I love these bibs so much, I don’t even mind. These are very lightweight and breathable. The chamois is what really stands out for me though. It isn’t very thick and I like that. Sometimes I feel that more padding just leads to more chafing. I was worried at first about the seam where the shorts meet the bib straps, but it ended up being just fine. I never even think about it while riding. I also like that these are a bit longer inseam. As a tall woman it is hard to find bib shorts that don’t end mid thigh. I like a little extra length. Overall, I am thrilled with these shorts.

How do these fit compared to the Classic Bib Shorts? If I take a small in the Classic Bib Shorts, I would I also wear a small for the Souplesse bib shorts? The measurements seem the same but I know the Souplesse line is more of a race fit.

Asked by: MBV81
The classic is a relaxed, all day fit. The souplesse is a tighter more race fit. I might be worth going up a size.

How does the length from crotch to top of straps vary in sizes?

Asked by: heyjb
Hi, the length will only vary from one size to another at approximately 1.5cm bigger all over. Any reference to leg length is specific to length and will not add any length to the straps themselves.

Should you wear underwear under bib shorts?

Asked by: Ffharrison
Hi, it is not advisable to wear underwear under bib shorts as you need to minimise any friction possibility in order to maximise comfort. Just use a good chamois cream, applied to the skin prior to placing our shorts on.
