Just perfect
East coast summers are 90F w/90% humidity. I see bare chested (guys) hammering what they can in these conditions. With a black helmet you roast. These work and go the distance 50-100mi/ day. Bought a second pair as cant wear these 2 days in a row under those conditions. Got the shorter version am 165lbs, 6' large worked. Hate too much graphics but .....

Nice and Sleek
Great Bib and Chamois, took it for a 40 Mile Ride around Los Angeles and it was an awesome Ride...The Fit is great, it's truely Lite and Aero in my book with a Sleek Design...Purple Color would be awesome for this Bib if there is one so I can match it with another Purple Rapha jersey I just purchased so I can Represent the Lakers Colors in Los Angeles

Comfortable!
I bought the Flyweight Bundle kit a little over a month ago. I have been on several rides and really enjoy the kit. This is by far the most comfortable kit in hot weather that I have ever owned. The sizing is right on and the performance of the fabric is great. Great product quality, I highly recommend it and I will be buying more Rapha products.

Best Lightweight Jersey
I bought this on whim when I saw the dark blue version. This is the lightest and most comfortable pair of Bib Shorts I've owned for summer riding. The materiel is thinner and lighter and wicks moisture away well. I ride in hot humid weather most of the year and I can say that this is now my "go to" bib shorts. I also bought the black/pink version.

Bib shorts
Based upon all the other products I have of rapha I knew these bib shorts would be a high quality product and sure enough, they did not disappoint.
The fit was perfect. I liked that the bib shorts came a little higher in the front for a longer torso. I wasn't sure about the comfort of the shoulder straps on longer rides but they were a non issue.

Stick with the classic
The fit is not as good as the classic bibshorts and I found these to be uncomfortable

Light and comfortable, but straps are rough
I haven't had a chance to wear these in hot weather, but they have been great for indoor spinning over the winter. They are super comfortable, except for the straps, which are rough and chafe my shoulders! The soft tape should have been bonded to the inside of the mesh, rather than the outside. I'm hoping they soften up a bit with use.

Flyweight Bib Shorts pretty comfy
These are good bibs.
Pros:
- Heat block fabric seems to totally make a difference. Riding in 100º days they felt cooler than regular bibs
- Chamois is fluffy and nice
Cons:
-The edges on the bib top are a little abrasive on the skin.
-The "short" option of the bibs are short. I wish there was a length reference on the description.

Very good bibshort with excellent padding
The padding in these is tremendous. Easily one of the two best I have ever ridden in. Very good short that could benefit from a little more compression in the legs ( for those of us that are built more like From, than Cavendish). Maybe a little more of a matte finish too. They are a tad shiny for my taste, but that may just be me.

시원한 빕숏
기존 버전의 라이트웨이트 빕숏의 경우 시원한 원단(클래식빕 보다 얇은 원단) 보풀이 너무 쉽게 생겼고, 고질적인 허벅지 스트랩의 터짐현상이 문제였습니다. 실 풀림도 마찬가지, 새롭게 출시된 플라이웨이트 빕숏의 경우 원단이 라이크라 원단으로 더욱 업그레이드 되었고 허벅지 스트랩 또한 브레베 스트랩 같이 개선되어 압박감이 기존 버젼보다 개선되었습니다. 다만 어깨 부분의 끝단 매쉬 접합부가 너무 까칠하여 이너없이 입을 경우 매우 느낌이 거칠고 불편합니다. 이 부분은 기존과 같이 출시 되었으면 좋았겠습니다. 한국의 여름은 매우 덥고 습하여 내가 원하던 제품이 출시되어 즐거운 마음으로 구입하였습니다.

Nipple Burn
The fit was good and the bibs are comfy other than the braces. The material used was rubbing and gave me nipple burn after about 15 minutes. I bought the flyweight bibs and top for warm weather and don't particularly want to wear a base layer beneath them just to avoid this. It is a shame as other than this issue I really like them.

Most comfortable Bib I had. Durability in question
Near to perfect bin. Very comfortable fit for me (183 using M) and best comfort so far for long day rides and trips. But durability is questionable, on the first piece, parts of the shoulder straps delaminates. It got replaced (big thanks to the good Rapha service), I’ll still have to wait and see how the replacement durability is.

Great fit! Not so sure about the shoulder straps..
I bought this about a month ago. 3-4 rides in and I can say that they feel Great! Super light and comfy. My only gripe is the shoulder straps.. They aren't soft at all.. Granted once i have them on and am out riding i hardly notice them.. But putting them on and off over my mildly sunburnt shoulders can be brutal.. Kinda scratchy..

Cool shorts
I find them "cool" in may ways: they stay dry even in very hot conditions (sweat is visible only in the area of the chamiois) and they are pretty comfortable also, good for a 3-4h ride. A bit strange the feeling with the fabric on the back in the shoulder area, but you get used to it and after some time it doesn't bother at all.

A great product that falls apart quickly
I bought the Flyweight Bib Shorts for summer riding in central Texas. They're the lightest, most breathable, and among the most comfortable bib shorts I own. Unfortunately, they started to fall apart within the third or fourth time I wore them. The fabric holding together the suspenders and the seat started to come undone.

A bit too light all around
I like the shorts. They're definitely light weight, maybe a bit too lightweight. The material is nice, but could use a tad more cushion in the chamois. Also, they are a bit lighter than the dark blue Rapha Jersey that a bought. I thought they would be exactly the same. Nonetheless, good shorts for a short, hot ride.

Perfect for the trainer
Originally ordered these for warm weather riding, however, with the current state of the world I have been spending extra time on the indoor trainer. These Bob shorts are perfect for long sessions on the trainer, never get to hot and they work perfectly at shocking sweat away. Definitely worth the price!

Lightweight and comfortable.
Good padding in the seat and comfortable coverage in the front. Unfortunately the shoulder straps were tight and left deep imprints on my chest and shoulders. I guess the Large is just too small for a 6’1” 200 pound guy. . i guess I’ll order an XL now. Runs s little small but not as small as Castelli

Great for 75-90F plus and high humidity
Great for 75-90F plus and high humidity. When it gets down to 60F you really begin to understand how light and air the shorts are as the cold wind wakes you up. Fit is fine in small for a 68 inch tall, 33 waist dude. Leg portion is a little too long, getting to close to the back of the knee joint.

Excellent Bib Shorts For Hot Days
First pair of bib shorts I purchased from Rapha, at first felt super thin didnt feel durable. But I was completely wrong. On really hot and humid days, I feel really comfortable cool, as if I was not even wearing tight lycra. Really worth the investment as a bundle for hot and humid conditions .

Go for Black, NOT Blue
The usual top quality merchandise from Rapha - really nice & lightweight... However, (i) the BLUE may be too light! Sweat marks show all too easily. BLACK may be better. (ii) the shoulder straps are also quite coarse. Takes some time to get used to. Not as fine as the Core or the Pro Team

Just like a second skin
I have several kits as I ride 5-6000 km per year. I tried different brands, but it is the first time that I wear a Bibi short an can complete forget about it. It fits perfectly and do not need to use chamois cream as it is so comfortable. Planning to buy another one for the cooler months

Excellent, check fit carefully
I bought these on sale and they represent great value. For me at 6', 175lbs the fit is just slightly looser than I'd prefer. The ProTeam Flyweights in large fit more snug without being too tight. The pad is similarly excellent. I don't love the slightly shiny finish on the new fabric.

Most comfortable seatpad
These are really nice shorts, like the mesh straps and the seatpad is the best of any shorts I have had - so comfortable and a perfect fit. I would say that I am just about on the upper limits of the capacity of the XXL at 6'5" 107kg - if you are any taller these are unlikely to fit.

Great fit, super comfortable
Bought these for some long summer rides later this year, and got to test them last weekend...and they passed with flying colors. Phenomenal fit, almost like an aero-suit, but honestly didn't feel them at all. The bib top was very breathable, and of course the styling was impeccable.

Old Favorite to New Favorite
I bought these to replace a pair of Core bibs that were wearing thin. Not a good look. The Flyweights are comfortable on long rides, even long climbs. The only, little issue is that I'm tall-6' 3" and the legs ride a little higher than I'm used to. Other than that, I'm very happy.

Good for hot, medium distance rides
The XL size fitted my 90kg frame but was a little shorter in the body than the classics which are still my favourite, the feel of the pad is thinner but ok on rides up to 100km. Anything longer and I would go back to my classics which are still the best bib shorts I have ever owned.

Great product
Great light weight form fitting bibs! Paired with a Rapha flyweight Jersey they are just the ticket for 80 degree (f) days. Sweat evaporates quickly from them and really keep you cool. Fitting is spot on (6 ft 150 lbs - size medium). Leg grippers are good and nice compression
