Depends on what your priorities are.
I am 5'9" with a 32" inside leg and I have found these to be a bit long in the leg. The shoulder straps however are spot on. I have only worn them once, on a four hour ride. I don't think the pad is the best Rapha have got and I think you would be fine for two hours. To be fair I was on a flat endurance ride spent sat in the saddle as opposed to standing to climb or sprint etc. At about 7c temp I never even thought about the chill. Which is good. Would I buy again ? Not sure I've got Castelli at a similar price that fit better with a pad that works better for me. But I do like Rapha crash repair.

+Quality, top cold- and wind protection
Really nice product! Was really surprised with the quality, wind and cold protection on this "entry/low end" product. Just imagining what the procollection have to offer Been testing it down to 5 degrees now. Can begin to feel the cold weather. But it just keep the warmth so well and after a couple of minutes of pedaling you're all warm and comfy!
The only problem i had was the stiching on the top part which broke on the first day. Followed the size guide and it feels well on me. Maybe the material is a little weak here or maybe i was just too excited to put the bib on :D
But generally satisfied!

Solid winter tights
These are good looking winter tights that do the job. Note that the legs are made from panels and not one full leg length of material. Maybe improves fit? Not good or bad, just an observation. The elastic at the ankles is *just* tight enough but barely. If it stretches out, will have to figure something out to fix. So far so good though.
Core continues with the wider placement of the straps, which I don't like. They tend to bunch up more. Pro Team lay across the front of the chest, which works much better.
Overall a great pair of winter kit. They aren't as thick or warm as some, but that's a good thing for me. If you're in deep winter weather and ride slower, maybe something thicker is in order.

Cycle clothing sizing
I wasn't sure what size to order and the pictures were confusing showing a 6ft very skinny man wearing small tights. I'm 5ft 8ins and not skinny and hoped that medium tights would fit, however when they arrived I could squeeze into them but they were probably too small for me
I exchanged them for large but I would say that they are a bit large especially the legs which are far too long and a bit roomy however they are probably the correct fit for my chest and waste . The tights are okay on a ride but the fit is a bit disappointing and I probably wouldn't have bought them in a store . It is a shame that cycling clothing in general is designed for very thin people and unfortunately we're not all built that way so it's back to dry January and smaller portions so that my medium clothing fits me for the summer

Great choice for fall/winter
6ft and 160lbs and a medium fits perfectly. Snug around the thighs, and supportive bib. I’ve noticed the chamois is a bit more forward in the bib then the core bib short, which suits my position better. I’ve worn these in 30-45 degree weather and been comfortable.

Does the job, superb quality.
Really comfortable and superb quality, kept me warm through my morning sessions so far. Temperatures between 7-11 Celsius. I've purchased large size I'm 82 kg and 1.84 cm - the fit is just about right but perhaps x-large could have worked better.

Comfortable early winter tights
Comfortable tights for early Canadian winter. I would say good to -3C if you are working hard; not windproof. I have worn them in cold rain as well. Size; I am 185cm and weigh 78.2kg and wear a Large. Recommended.

Bib tights are a little to cold for Swedish winter
I have Rapha Core Bib shorts size M that fits me very good. Rapha Core Winter tights should be made with the same measurements but they fit a little too tight at the upper body.
They fit very good at the ankle cuffs. No rubber but they are tight without fit to hard. The length of the legs are perfect. I'm 184cm and I have size M. The padding is good, it stands long rides without leaving pain or sore. The bibs could be a little longer but I think they will stretch out.
The fabric is naturally a little bit thicker so maybe they will expand in time.
They are good for a absolute minimum -5°C to +5°C. The thicker fabric could have been made more wind windproof. Now it lets a lot of wind in. The meaning with winter training for me is long rides in rather slow tempo so the body doesn't produce enough warmth if the tights let to much wind in.
The price takes down the stars, I can buy other brands cheaper with the same quality.

Comfortable, warm and high quality tights
Comfortable, warm and high quality tights with good fit and a decent price. I am around 185cm and 70kg and the medium is a great fit. The only downside for me is the seam across the knee which means they are slightly baggy around this area. I have Gore tights which do not have this seam so didn't expect this from Rapha. Still happy with the purchase overall.

Keep You Really Warm
The CORE Winter Bibs are phenomenal. I live in Southern Minnesota where temperatures can plummet by 20 degrees when the sun sets. Our days are much shorter, so equipment choice is a must. I was curious to see what the Rapha winter gear had to offer, so I purchased the Core Bibs to face the unpredictable elements. I happy that I did I have thus worn them out in temperatures ranging from 45 degrees F down to 20 degrees F. They definitely proved worthy for the cause. Will purchase again and would recommend to a friend.

OMG Yessss
From the first time putting these tights on, I knew I had finally made the right choice. I’ve had several tights in the past. Whether they be padded tights or pull over regular tights without pad.
For sure these are the most comfortable tights I have ever bought, from the ankle cuff all the way to my shoulders these bib tights fit like a glove. I’m 5ft9inches and usually wear a small in shorts, so i ordered a small and a medium. I found the medium to be the best fit.
I wear them on my daily 30min each way commute and they seem to stay very fresh over a few days, with no sagging from wearing for too long. Also I find that the seat area isn’t wearing/ bobbling from being in contact with the seat. The double thickness in the belly area is a nice touch too as well as the very neat ankle cuff where you’d normally find a zip on other brands, giving the overall tight a nice sleek neat finish. I can certainly say for the price Rapha have definitely outdone themselves yet again.

Got me out the door dark and early.
Gets tougher and tougher as the cold months wear on to get outside when it’s dark and cold. These bibs are a game changer. They are fleece lined and breathe well once you get warmed up. Highly recommend. I have been impressed again at the quality of “core” product line.

Inseam to long in xxl but still comfort
The pad fits good and stay dry. My inseam is 102 cm wat means that the legs are 10 cm to short in size XXL. Therefore I where overshoes and long socks in cold times who cover that. Thats oké but: it overstretched de fabric because either circumference is at the max. It still fits good enough and stays most time in place. Experience will find out the durability after this season. I wear this between zero and ten degrees and sometimes some rain on the MTB in the wood of the dunes and thats comfortable.

Great winter bibs
Quality you’d expect from Rapha. I’m 6ft 68kg and the medium fits perfectly - Casteli not so much. 2 cooler rides in N California, 48 deg & colder DH and quite comfortable. I don’t like leg warmers so this is just right.

Rapha Core Winter Bibs are Wonderfully Warm
Best winter bib I’ve worn, temperatures have been hovering near freezing believe it or not here in the Bay Area of Northern California and these bibs have kept me warm. I have 3 pairs of them and am totally happy.

Ultimate easy on easy off cycle to work bib tights
I was looking around for ages for an affordable pair of Winter Bibs. So I gave these a try and now I have purchased a second pair due to the quality and warmth they give. Rapha Core is truly excellent quality.

Winter tights review
I decided to purchase these tights based upon my experience with Rapha bib shorts. I have found the tights to be extremely comfortable and the padding to be perfect for my road rides including chip seal country roads.
The only downside is that I the fleece lining is lighter than what I expected. If you're riding in colder weather 32 degrees or below, you might consider wearing a base layer underneath the tights.
I would certainly purchase these again just based on fit and comfort

Great fitting comfy tights
Great fitting tights for colder autumns/early springs. Not so warm I expected but still awesome. Fit is exactly the same as other Core range shorts/tights. Ideal for temperatures between 4 - 14 degrees.

Fit and finish is perfect. I’ve been using these on cold and windy 5 to 10°C morning rides almost everyday. These keep you warm and let you focus on the ride.
