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"

Nope.
The leg opening of these shorts was waaaay to big - they hung loose like basketball shorts. I don’t have massive quads, to be honest, but all my other shorts fit snug on the leg. Very disappointing design flaw.

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!

Brevet bib shorts review
Really comfy and quality material, pad not as luxurious as Assos. Bit disappointed with the colour, the grey is a lot lighter than expected and illustrated on the website.

Long Days ahead
Long days of comfort have made these fantastic brevet short a 5 star job. The chamois is high quality and not too thick, which is so important to those who ride long days in the saddle. The integrity of the chamois has been excellent and the comfort 'fit' just right for me with wide bib straps. The pocket in mesh is perfect and rarely would need both sides. The pick rubber edging adds a highlight. We ride thousands of km in our tours so will be another pair when the price is right.

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.

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.)

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

Loving this Cycling Bib
Truly premium feel. All grippers work flawlessly. Hugs the body perfectly. Smooth to the touch.

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.

Excellent bibs
Previously I have bought size M from Rapha but followed the size chart suggestion this time. Upon receipt was clear I needed M (for reference I'm 1.7m). The swap with Rapha was straight forward.
Material on these bibs is very soft with lots of stretch and less compression that many Rapha bibs or other brands I use. Leg length also slightly shorter but that works for me. Pad is the usual Rapha quality - very good. Overall very pleased.

Excellent comfy bib tights
These are amongst the most comfortable bib shorts I have. That should not come as a surprise since these are meant for brevets. The material seems high quality and the fit is more on the comfy side instead of a tighter aero feel. The pocket on the right thigh facilitates long ride needs. The bib straps are very comfortable and broader than usual. Those in between sizes may need to consider this. I am 5' 7", 68kg and bought a Size M.

Cross the finish line with a smile
Bought these prior to the 2023 Triple Bypass ride in Colorado and the first thing I noticed was the high quality material. The fit was firm and comfortable. Rising 118 miles and climbing 10,800 vertical feet requires a great chamois and in this regard the Brevet bib shorts excelled. I also liked the extra pocket on the right thigh. After 9 hours and 47 minutes in the saddle, I crossed the finish line with a big smile.

Unbelievably Comfortable
I previously wore Bontrager Velocis bib shorts for a number of years before they updated their design, which caused me to look into other options. The Rapha Brevet bib was an entirely different level of comfort - it was immediately noticeable and was more comfortable from the start to the finish of a long ride. Now that I've experienced this bib short, I would be hard pressed to wear anything else.

Materials good, sizing not good.
materials are good, fit is not consistent with other Rapha bib shorts. Sizing is the biggest issue with internet ordering of clothing... and it seems to be no different with Rapha.

Brevet bibs
Thought I’d give these a try, on first time wearing them I wasn’t convinced these were going to be that comfortable, looks and feel really nice, fit is very good, I’m normally a large but went for medium with the brevet bibs which is a perfect fit, the pad has got more comfortable the more I wear them, my only gripe is the seam down the middle of the pad hence only giving 4 stars

First piece of Rapha clothing
First piece of Rapha clothing I’ve bought, what I can say is the sizing actually aligns to the guide provided by Rapha unlike a number of other manufacturers (Rapha I’m a medium where as a certain Italian make I ended up purchasing a XL!!!!). Lovely quality and I wore them today for a hilly 40 miles, no rubbing and they were like a second skin- I could be a Rapha convert.

Would be even nicer with a pocket on both legs...
These are great bib-shorts and function as specified. I do find one thing about them frustrating though. I really don't understand the decision not to put a pocket on both legs. Is that supposed to functionally differentiate them from the cargo bib shorts? These are premium bibs meant for long rides over big distances. Put a pocket on both legs for crying out loud...

Does the job well
They fit and really hand has a nice feeling material. Slightly thicker feeling lycra and feel warm during an average cold morning ride in Melbourne. The shorts feel very lightweight. The leg pocket is very handy but would definitely prefer two pockets (one on each leg). Just had over month and appears some of the stitching fraying around one side of the chamois.

Best All Around Bib Shorts
I've owned lots of bib shorts but I keep coming back to Rapha. They excel at comfort, quality, and fit. These in particular are excellent all around shorts. The side pocket is great if you only want one. Rapha is clear on the web site re: fit. I'm 5'8" 178 pounds and generally wear a MED but based on the description I purchased a SMALL and they fit perfect.

Great padding, upper felt a little warm
Padding performed well, clearly superior to the pro collection for longer rides. The upper however is less breathable than the pro bib shorts (i use the aero jersey which is skin hugging) i will try the same with a more relaxed fitting jersey to check how it feels in it. Have not used the pockets however they should help in carrying gels in a full day ride.
