Rated 5 out of 5 by from Couldn't be better I've fallen in love with the Classic II bibs for summer riding. On a whim, I bundled these Thermal bibs with a long sleeve jersey. After my first test ride, I am pleased to report that they are every bit as comfortable as the Class II bibs, but of course, they are beautifully warm along with a pair of the merino leg warmers. I also recently bought the Brevet Winter Tights with Pad and plan to have these Thermal bibs bridge the shoulder seasons wherein I may choose to shed the leg warmers. The Winter Tights will be reserved for the proper winter season. I highly recommend these Thermal bibs for riding between -5C to 10C. Below that, you're likely to want a proper pair of tights versus leg warmers.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not armchair comfy - but probably a good thing Having had pad issues for a while from cheaper shorts I decided an upgrade to a better more favoured pair of shorts and pad and planning well ahead to cooler and colder times in Scotland I opted for the 'winter' shorts. The fit is certainly different/snug which I put down to the cut and material, all good. The pad and shorts have performed well - being not too hot on cool evenings as I feared they might. I have still felt some nipping at my rear end toward the end of a 50ml pacy training ride but with a quick on bike adjustment they have been ok - I'm sure these shorts will more than come into their own come Nov. and the winter months and will outlast other brands, so overall happy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A reason to smile on cold, dark mornings Rapha shorts have long been the favourites in my wardrobe, but these thermal shorts take it to another level. I wear them every day in winter to commute to work in one of Canada's coldest cities. In fall & spring, they can be worn with warmers. Once winter properly comes, they're hidden under more layers, but having this warm, soft layer against my skin always makes things better. The fabric feels stronger and heavier than the classic sorts, but it moves very well and I'd never hesitate to wear these for a cold-weather 'cross race. And that chamois is still perfect. Thanks for making winter sting a bit less.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Comfortable and warm Unfortunately I had to send 2 pairs back as in both cases the stitching around the pad snapped when pulling the shorts on. I have gone up a size to XL and now they fit perfect, I'm a 33 inch waist !! I wanted to persevere with the shorts and I'm glad I did as they are the warmest and most comfortable shorts I've ever worn. Rapha's easy and no quibble return policy was a great help.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent bibs I'd read about these before and didn't really know where they'd fit in my wardrobe. I've always gone tights-3/4's-regular bibs with knee warmers once in awhile in the morning. But I felt like trying these out and picked them up a couple of weeks ago, very pleased. They seem extremely well made like all of the classics line that I have used. I've worn them from before sunrise till the sun had gone down and they were just as comfortable at the end of the day as they were when I started, in the rain, with knee warmers and the rain or during the afternoon when it temps moved up into the 70's.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from GREAT FOR BOTH WARM AND COLD WEATHER I ride mostly in warm weather but I need a pair of bibs for the few weeks of cold weather riding. I bought these bibs thinking that they would probably serve the purpose of keeping me warm during cold weather but still cool enough for warm weather. So far they performed well both during cold and warm weather. I paired these with the merino leg warmers for cold days and kept me warm. Used them during warm weather rides and still stayed relatively cool without over-heating me. Quality and craftsmanship is top-notch.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from I think they would be great..... Positives - as expected, beautifully made. Felt warm and good windproof material. Negatives - sizing. I am large in all Rapha bib shorts and own 2 pairs for the classics. I found these a bit too small in large, the legs are a bit tighter so prevented the pad sitting correctly. I also tried XL and they were too big! So in upshot. If they had of fitted I would have kept them - they look lovely.... shame

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice Shorts I did a ride in mid 30 degree weather with a pair of non-insulated tights over these and was just fine. These shorts are very comfortable and a nice addition to my collection of cycling apparel. I am 5-8 and 162 lbs and medium fit very well.

Does this have the pad from the classic II pad or the classic I bibs? Will they be reissued with a different pad in the next six months?

Asked by: Duffnote
These Thermal Bibs retain the same pad from the Classic I Bibshorts

Which is warmer, classic or pro thermal bibs?

Asked by: Agent Cooper
Both Bibs use the same Roubaix fabric. The difference lies in the fit of the Bib Shorts as the Pro Team are a tighter, more streamlined cut for racing and training at high intensity, whereas the Classic Bib Shorts are designed for all day in the saddle comfort

Is the bib "slim fit" or "normal fit"?

Asked by: Rafita15
Hi, all of our Classic range has a more generous size unlike the Pro Team for example, which is more of a race fit.

Why are these bibs excluded from the classic guarnty?

Asked by: P Diddy
Hi, the Classics Guarantee was designed to offer a chance to ride-test classic items that helped to establish the Rapha brand. This is four of our original items, the Classic Bib shorts, Jersey, Wind jacket and Winter Tights.

At what temperature ranges do suggest reaching for these thermals over standard classic bibs?

Asked by: Dooly
Hi, it always difficult to give exact temperatures as it will depend on your own temperature regulation and exertion level. However, we would recommend using the thermal bibs from temperatures around 10-12 degrees celsius and below. I hope that helps.
