Amazing but may go up a size
Absolutely amazing looking shorts but they really require a proper break in period. Minus one star because it took a while for the chamois to settle and become comfortable. Fabric quality is very high end but it is a very tight fit.

NO LO RECOMIENDO
No me ha gustado nada este coulotte. La badana es de mala calidad, a pesar de utilizar crema para badana, lo probe en una salida de 3:30´y fue horrible, se me irrito toda la zona y me dolieron mucho los huesos isquiones

Bad seam design on these shorts! Can't recommend.
The price is tempting, but the quality is very poor-- the design is bad. Many seams, including a center-line seam above the front of the pad that results is bad chafing. I cannot recommend these shorts for that reason.

Great Bibs
Great feel, great pad, great fit. Only complaint is that the lycra wears maybe a bit faster than high-end competitors. I have a 3-year old pair that is thin and loose now, though the pad is still great for the trainer.

10 year customer starting to look elsewhere
Bought 2 pairs, as I always do, for a decade now. Within 5 rides each, both pairs have seams unravelling. This happened with the 3/4 knickers I bought last year as well. Quality seems to have diminished significantly.

Great fit/feel , NOT great chamois
me: Racer/rider of 7+ years, ride avg 12 hrs/wk (10kmiles/yr).
Good: The material and fit of these bib shorts is impressive for the price point. I am 6'2", 162lbs and the medium fits perfect. The length is great and secure fit of the grippers feels great. Shorts work well in hot weather.
Not Good: The chamois just doesn't cut it for me. i'm not a large rider and have spent much time in Giordanna, castelli, vie13 and garneau bibs w/o issue. The thickness and density of this chamois results in discomfort on the sits bones after an hour or two of riding. not something i experience w/ other shorts.
If you are going to spend much ride time time in these, or in an aggressive saddle position, I think you need to find a more suitable chamois. I would not buy again for this reason.

Unbeatable for the price
Excellent bib at a very good price for this level of quality. You can only start to notice the difference with the Pro Team version when you spend more than 3h on the saddle. Perfect bib for your everyday ride

Short always
Great fit and fell but.... I’m 5’6 and stocky at 170lbs. Small is not happening. The medium fit well but are quite long in the leg around the thigh. Not a Rapha problem; a 5’6 170llb male problem I guess .

Great in every sense, except durability.
Great fit and comfort, I just wish they were more durable. Somewhere between seasons one and two the lower back and upper hip areas start getting pretty sheer. That’s when they get consigned to Zwift duty.

New favourite bib shorts
A+ bib shorts, I've been wearing Rapha jerseys for many years and only recently this year decided to try their bib shorts lineup..... Wow was I missing out! Worn many different brands of bib shorts Castelli,Pearl izumi,Nalini etc and no bib shorts Pad matches the quality and comfort of Rapha's pad. Price to performance wise I actually believe there quite competitively priced against other competition. Loved them so much I bought the cargo Bib short version two weeks after purchasing these!

Great bib shorts, but run small
Great bib shorts, wide straps and nuce pad. I"m a 32 waist (5'11"/165 lbs) so I tried the Medium size shorts and they were way too tight. Returned and ordered a Large which fit great. So order a size up.

Great performance and amazing value
Like so often said the best bibs are the ones you don’t notice you’re wearing and these are just like that. Great supportive pad, everything stays in place and very supportive without restriction or chafing. When I first put them on they felt a little tight on the bib straps but once I was ‘in’ they fitted fine. I’d say better than my other brand bibs at £160 - not sure I’ll spend as much again after trying these. They’re also a good weight neither too thick or too thin. Great job Rapha.

Passt nicht
The trousers were absolutely not in my size on the thigh. The cuffs on the thigh do not fit. This is not a good thing with cycling shorts. In the crotch the padding is way too thick. That's why the pants were exchanged and a new size was tried. The problem was the same and that's actually very annoying. How thick do I have to be so that the proportions are right? In addition, the Brexit caused problems with customs. Sending has become more cumbersome. I'm the perfect weight for my size

Great quality bibs for a great price
Great Quality bibs for a very reasonable price. They don’t feel much less premium than my Pro Team ones or other brands. Sizing spot on for me, went with XL and I’m 195cm.

Too long thigh length
Too long pant length. Being 5’8” the thigh length is a little long. I wish there were two sizes for regular and tall. Otherwise, premium product.

Disappointed
I was sorely disappointed in the quality of this product. The stitching began to unravel after 2 months of wear. I expect more from this brand.

Good fit
Great product. My first bib.
I'm 176 cm high and have slim thighs, thus took the XS size. Was worried for a bit, but it fits perfectly.

High quality, awkward fit
High quality padding and material. The fit is a little tight in the groin area, which makes them more uncomfortable than my other bibs.

Core Bib Shorts Rock!
Best value item from Rapha. As comfortable as the pro team bib shorts for a fraction of the price.

Better to avoid any shopping
Bought size M and L. Decided to keep L due to more compression. M would be fine too. The quality is worse than Classic. The sizing is the same. I sent back an unused pair via Rapha courier. The package has been delivered. I've been waiting a month for a refund! There are a lot of comments on FB that rapha doesn't refund people! They don't reply to email. Better to avoid!

Chamois too wide
Chamois is too wide. Causes pinching and discomfort. I needed to keep readjusting during ride.
