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.

Quality in all aspects
Receive this product expiedily without any delay . The bib fits perfectly in all places, extremely light and comfortable. Good quality material used . Makes a cyclist confidence and proud to flawn it. To add to this the whole shopping experience on line is easy ,simple and with vast information for the consumer to read and decide on.

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

Perfect fit
Small fits me perfectly, I am 187cm tall, around 75kg my waist is about 76cm hips about 92 and chest around 96. I consider myself skinny and these shorts are pretty tight on me so I would say to get the small only if you are quite skinny like I am otherwise go for the medium.

Rapha classic flyweight bib shorts
This is the second set of these bib shorts I've purchased as well as numerous other Rapha products. I liked the first set so much I wanted to have two in my closet. They are great in the hot, Texas summer. I like the way they fit, feel, and have no complaints whatsoever.

Very nice but 2 comments
Great pad and lycra quality. One comment about the color which doesn't match fully the Jersey (Navy) and the second about the material used for the bib straps which scratch my skin. Definitely comfortable with a base layer I would have prefer a better material in this case.

great
i like the bib short. however, i was surprised about the tax for import. i understand that it is my obligation to read the terms and conditon.but it will be much better if there is a memo on check out that local tax for import not included.
but again i like the product.
