Description
Warmth for winter riders
Fleece-backed shorts have long been a kit bag essential for pros who find themselves racing and training in cold conditions through the early and late season. Pair with leg or knee warmers for incredible versatility and essential protection from the cold.
Building on the success of our popular Pro Team Thermal Bib Shorts, this updated version provides even greater comfort and improved protection against the elements. Made of the same windproof and water-resistant front panels as our Pro Team Winter Tights, the shorts have a membrane inserted to help keep water out, and a fleecy inner that wicks away sweat better and provides a warm feel on skin.
The shorts have the same size-specific dual density pad as the Pro Team Bib Shorts II, perforated to hold less water for more comfort on wet rides, and shaped for riding on the rivet with more support for your seat bone. With a slightly longer leg than the Pro Team Bibs II, and a higher cut on the bibs to stop drafts creeping up inside your jacket, these are perfect bib shorts for winter riding.

Genuine upgrade to original version
I was a fan of the original Thermal bib shorts, these are a definite upgrade. The material is slightly more compressive than before, supportive but not overly tight. The waterproofing is a real bonus, my last ride had showers and road spray but the shorts remained dry. They are certainly warm too, I have ridden them down to 3 or 4 degrees C, and remained warm throughout, even on descents. So, almost perfect but with one minor gripe. For some reason the leg gripper/band is made of a looser material and does not grip my leg well at all. I don't have sprinter's thighs but even so this is an annoying oversight. When riding it's not too bad but when standing or freewheeling I can feel the material slightly flapping. It's not a deal breaker by any means, jut irritating.

Superbe produit!
Superbe cuissard, qui joue parfaitement son rôle par temps frais ou froid. Je l'ai porté à plusieurs reprises par des températures comprises entre 5 et 10 degrés, assorti avec des jambières. Le matériau utilisé est vraiment très confortable et tient bien chaud. L'insert est lui aussi très confortable. Les nouvelles bretelles (nouvelles par rapport aux cuissards ProTeam v.1) sont vraiment convaincantes. Par contre, je suis moins séduit par les nouveaux élastiques au bas des jambes, qui collent moins bien à la cuisse que précédemment. C'est pour cette raison qu'il a fallu que je choisisse une taille M plutôt que la taille L que je prends habituellement.

Wouldn't recommend
At a veeu high price point for bibs there is no way I could honestly recommend these shorts.
I returned my 1st pair as the material that contacts the saddle had started to bobble and wear after 1 ride. I have many Rapha products and none have had this problem before. Rapha replaced them for me so I now have a new pair that are doing the exact same thing. The material seems far too delicate especially for a winter specific product. Also as many others have mentioned, the fit on the leg grippers is poor and ruins the look of the shorts.
Disappointing as Rapha is my go to bench mark in quality and this beeing one of there
higher end items has really put me off furter purchases at this time.

Excellent
Pleasantly surprised how warm these are. The windproof panels on the side are very effective and the high rise front is good at keeping you well insulated.They have a good waterproofing ability as well, the water just beads and rolls off. They are a bit of a pain to get on but once they are they don't move and are super comfy.

Hugely disappointed
I bought these having had other pro Team bibs. They are really lovely and well made. HOWEVER, the new leg grippers don't actually fit my leg they are loose, flap around and just terrible spoiling a lovely product. Will be returning and buying another brand.

Packed with nice details
Could be a bit warmer,especially on the backside. But the main issue I have is the silicone band above the knees. It’s more for the anatomy of a sprinter then a climber. Need to gain more muscle it seems.

Poor fitting around knees
The measurements were fine apart from the cuffs around the knees where they flap about so they are unusable. But cant be sent back as its been worn (to try on). V expensive mistake.

Is all Rapha bibs short unisex?
We have Male and Female specific versions of this product to ensure optimised comfort and performance

How does the sizing compare to classic bib shorts? I wear a large in them.
Hi, the Pro Team range is as a rule of thumb slightly more of a race fit which is tighter in compression. Though we do advise you to try in your usual size and should you need to exchange or refund, we have a 90 days return period for new/unused garments with tags and in saleable condition.

I wear small/long in the pro team normal shorts. Would I size up for these given the thicker material/shorter fit?
These shorts are longer in standard length than the Pro Team Bib Shorts II, so selecting your normal sizing would be most appropriate

Rain at the week did penetrate my ProTeam bib winter tight knees and seat but my Shadow jersey kept the rain out. Would the new shorts be similar in water repellency to the Shadow jersey that kept me dry or ProTeam team bib tights which did not?
These Bib Shorts are highly Water Resistant but a constant rainfall will allow water to go through. The Shadow collection, by contrast, are Waterproof and are coated with a water-repellent layer.
Date published: 2018-01-03
Is it just the front panels that are water repellent or is it the whole circumfrance around the leg, like the shadow bibs?
Hi, the wind and water replant panels are the ones that you see structured all around the leg and up to the hips or what you can see would be the most exposed to the elements. These show up on the current images as the slightly darker panels.

How do the Pro Team Thermal Bib Shorts II differ from the Pro Team Shadow Bib shorts, in terms of performance: Warmth and water resistance? Are the shorts cut the same? Same length etc.? I ride in southern England all year round. What's best?
Hi, both these shorts are comparable in both wind and water resistance and also in fit. You may find the Pro Team Shadow Bib shorts have a stronger compression feel.
Date published: 2018-01-09
Hi, can also these shorts be used during the summer when it is not too hot?
You could still use these shorts on most days in the UK and colder areas in the Summer in all but the hottest temperatures

How does one answer the call of nature with the high waist cut.
The front panel has enough give to answer 'on the road' calls of nature without need to fully disrobe

Thank you for your request. We’ll contact you when your Pro Team Thermal Bib Shorts II is available.
