DRESS FOR THE ADVENTURE
A whole new way to dress for exploration
Description
*Also available as part of a bundle
The Cargo Bib Shorts can carry everything you would keep in a jersey. Tested for over a year across Europe, in the heat of the Australian outback and the rugged wilderness of Argentina, these shorts were designed to excel at extremes but are just as comfortable on the commute or club run.
By placing pockets on both legs and the upper back, these new bibs free you from the need for a traditional cycling jersey with pockets, letting you wear what you like. Pair them with a looser-fitting t-shirt for a more casual approach to riding, wherever your ride takes you.
Made with a new lightweight water-resistant material, these bib shorts perform in the rain, shedding water as you ride. Comfortable up to 30 degrees centigrade, they also perform just as well in the heat as they do the wet, making them the ideal bibs for every ride. The perforated chamois has been designed to ensure quick drying for multi-day adventures.
We tested the leg pockets to ensure your belongings are secure – whether you’re carrying a little or a lot, the stretch opening keeps the contents in place. The pockets on the back were positioned to sit above the waistband of our Cotton and Randonnée shorts. This lets you cover up when you’re not keen on lycra without losing access to your riding essentials.
Comfortable shorts are the cornerstone of every great ride, and now you don’t need anything else to set off. When you want just one piece of cycling kit for the job, the Cargo Bib Shorts will carry you through.

30-Day Guarantee
The Rapha Cargo Bib Shorts are covered by our 30-day guarantee. Ride them on any adventure, big or small, and if you're not 100% satisfied, send them back to us within 30 days of receipt for a full refund or credit.
"Rapha's new Cargo bib shorts are ideally suited to adventure rides where a less pro race look is desirable. They're also handy for commuting, audax, touring and any long distance cycling." – David Arthur - road.cc
"I found there weren’t really any riding environments were the Brevet Technical T-shirt and Cargo bib shorts weren’t appropriate. To be able to boast such well-rounded performance is a rare and desirable trait and means as a rider you aren’t likely to regret investing in the kit." – Sam Challis - Cyclist

My Nee Favorite Bibs!!
I got these “cargo” bibs because I hate having a seat bag. I’ve been carrying all my stuff in my jersey pockets and now I can spread it out and not feel like a chipmunk. The material on these is amazing. The chamois is thicker and a little and wider than my pro teams. I tested them on a 50 mile ride and felt great the entire ride.
I was worried that having stuff in the leg pockets would bother me, but I didn’t even notice while riding. My only criticism is they seem a little long, I am guessing to make room for the pocket to be deep. I really didn’t need a second tan line, but the function makes them worth it.

Complete Bib Shorts!
It checks all the boxes for me:
STYLE - the "cargo" name is misleading, these bibs are as sleek as the other Rapha ones. The pockets are very understated and yet are there when you need them. The Brevet color stripes are given a modern look behind the pocket.
UTILITY - pockets at the back hold the volume of 2 essentials cases, freeing you up to wear more comfortable shirts. pockets in the legs have unexpectedly substantial volume capacity. So useful for on the go stuff: food, food wrappers after eating them, cards, lights, cap, etc. I'd use these on trails and MTB rides!
THE REAL VALUE: the cloth. Its like a thin shadow cloth, it is almost hydrophobic,, water beads down. Breathable, tested in as much as 33c hot and humid ride for 3 hours, did not feel hot.
SOME NOTES: while the "thin shadow" cloth dries in no time, chamois does not dry overnight in the humid Asian weather. Also, I feel insecure with an iphone in the pocket as it is thin and seems to be able to slide out unnoticed - best to put it in the back pocket. Lastly, while the thigh band of the Cargo BIB is comfortable, the PT Bib Shorts 2 still rules with its wide band, I find that better for all day rides.

My Favourite Bibs
I got these bibs just prior to an 260km MTB Ultra race in South Africa. The performed so well on an extreme ride that took 16 hours. The cargo pockets are discreet and totally functional. I love them and will be getting a second pair.

Excellent storage, cut and hand need work
The brevet bib shorts were bought to use for long distance cycling races, specifically, for MTB and gravel. The storage on the legs are really well situated for quick access items like gels and bananas when you don't want to do the mid-ride arm twist for your jersey storage. The low back storage is good for longer trip items to swap out with the leg storage.
Now the not so good. They seem to be cut a little longer and use the gel grippers for the legs. The long cut is hotter on longer rides; however, I think the idea was to compress the whole upper leg for support. The grippers tend to dig into my leg which is of course not great on long rides. The material is not as soft as their classic bibs and seems to be heavier than the pro bibs which, again, I'm guessing is for longer ride support. The material doesn't breathe well and captures heat when wet. I'm comparing with the classic bibs in this sense and find that there is a wet suit feel to the brevet bibs once they are saturated. The classics just feel wet, but still retain the breathable element.
Improvements could be 10mm shorter on the legs, switch to flat material grippers on the legs, some other material for the overall bib and rely on DWR coating as opposed to material for shedding water, lighter material on the low back straps on the inside and use the same mesh as the legs for the outer low back pockets (that way the whole back can eliminate wet or sweat).

The pockets make all the difference
I do a lot of adventure riding, riding while camping and bike touring and these shorts are amazing for keeping the things you need close by and easily accessible. Usually when you are riding multiple days in a row, you need to make stops to buy groceries or other items, having the ability to put your wallet and phone in the pockets is a huge plus to keep your hands free. I even ride with them in the pockets sometimes and there is no movement and you can't tell anything is there. One thing I will note is your phone will get sweaty, so may not be the best place for it. Overall really happy with these and they add so much versatility.

Disappointing
I read in one of the reviews that the legs come up a bit wide but after putting in a call to Customer Services took a chance. Unfortunately in my normal size I found that they do! I tried sizing down but the shoulder straps were on the short side. I wasn't that impressed with the material anyway. Disappointed, as I thought they were a great idea and really wanted them to work. But at this sort of very high price point there isn't really room for compromise. Don't buy if your legs are on the skinny side!

Super comfortable & ready for adventure.
I haven't been able to fully test these bibs out over a long period but from what i have experienced is that they are super comfortable - both on the trainer and on the road. I love having the extra pockets as well - a simple idea perfectly executed. I'm more used to the Pro Team grippers and probably prefer them but these are also fine.
I take a L in Pro Team and also a L in these was perfect.

What I've been waiting for
I live in Texas and it's so hot most of the time, I like going out in bib shorts and a base layer. Giving me pockets makes my rides so much longer, and mean I don't need a saddle bag for my tools. L.O.V.E. this.
Date published: 2018-03-22
what is the base color of the burnt orange pair? black? navy blue? can’t tell from the pictures.
It is a Navy lower

hi I dress in the pro team size L line, while in the classic size M line, how do they dress? better M or L? thanks
These would fit similarly to your Classics.

In the pictures, it is impossible to determine the differences between the dark colors. To what degree are the navy bibs distinguishable from the black bibs. Is the color difference between navy and black obvious or barely perceptible?
They are different color fabrics between the two color options.
Date published: 2019-03-27
Which color has the Rapha logo on the leg in pink like in the picture above. Is it the black?
The Dark Navy color has the pink band on the leg.

Are the upper pockets big enough to carry a bidon?
These pockets are not big enough for a Bidon

I am tall and fairly lean at 84kg and 192cm (6"2). What size would you recommend I go for?
Hi, because fit is not just dependent on height and weight but mostly on each body shape and customer's personal preference to how customer's prefer garments to fit, it is hard for us to be exact in sizing advice.
From the measurements you give us it sounds you will fit between a Small and a Medium so whatever size you choose, should you need to exchange or refund, we have a 90 days return period for new/unused garments with tags and in saleable condition.

How does the water resistance compare to the shadow shorts?
Hi, these have a lightweight water resistant material but the water proofing qualities are similar to the Shadow Bib Shorts.
Date published: 2019-04-04
Hi I have the cargo bib shorts in large and they are tight on my shoulders but fit my waist, hips, chest. If i go to the XL will the straps from waist to shoulder be longer along with the other measurements going bigger?
Hi, please note that all bib shorts may fit tighter around the shoulders when standing up but comfortable once you are on an on bike position. By purchasing a larger size it will be more comfortable up on the shoulders but then the trest may be to big.
