Does the job well
They fit and really hand has a nice feeling material. Slightly thicker feeling lycra and feel warm during an average cold morning ride in Melbourne. The shorts feel very lightweight. The leg pocket is very handy but would definitely prefer two pockets (one on each leg). Just had over month and appears some of the stitching fraying around one side of the chamois.

Best All Around Bib Shorts
I've owned lots of bib shorts but I keep coming back to Rapha. They excel at comfort, quality, and fit. These in particular are excellent all around shorts. The side pocket is great if you only want one. Rapha is clear on the web site re: fit. I'm 5'8" 178 pounds and generally wear a MED but based on the description I purchased a SMALL and they fit perfect.

Great padding, upper felt a little warm
Padding performed well, clearly superior to the pro collection for longer rides. The upper however is less breathable than the pro bib shorts (i use the aero jersey which is skin hugging) i will try the same with a more relaxed fitting jersey to check how it feels in it. Have not used the pockets however they should help in carrying gels in a full day ride.

Wow, talk about comfort.
SUPER SUPER Comfortable. A comfortable fit, definitely not a race fit. Did I mention they're comfortable? WAY more comfortable than the core series, or Pedal Mafia / VAIVAI or Black Sheep bibs. Thigh pocket thus far has proved to be pretty good. Used for stashing food bars, occasional mobile phone (when it's not raining) or work pass on commuting days.

Luxury in shorts
Picked these up on sale and pleasantly surprised. Incredibly luxurious material with accurate sizing. Slightly shorter in the leg than the cargo shorts but pad and fit almost identical. Nice for longer rides in warmer climes. Seriously comfortable. Pocket on the right leg fits a phone case etc, would have preferred it on the left but it is what it is

Does a job
This is my second pair of Brevet Bib Shorts in 3 yrs and I find the sizing (XL) in the new version truer to the norm.
The fabric is comfortable even on hot days and I appreciate the reflective and Hi Vis elements.
The Chamois is described as for all day riding, whilst comfortable, personally I will switch to the Classic Bibs for anything over 4hrs.

Most comfortable Knicks I own.
These Knicks are almost absurdly comfortable. My regular Knicks are Assos and these are better. I’ve done 100km rides with no soreness or really even without noticing them at all. Just rode the Stelvio sitting in the saddle the whole way - Knicks were not a factor. The pocket is handy too. I’m buying another set when I get home. Well done Rapha.

Brilliant
I have a number of Rapha shorts and all of them are excellent but these are without doubt the best. The fit and comfort level is beyond any shorts I've ever owned. Great for long or short rides. The only possible negative is if you don't like your shorts 'short' then these might not be for you - I like them like this so for me its not a problem.

Waiting to see
I bought this item at sale price, the last few Rapha items I have purchased have faded very badly, after contacting Rapha customer services with photos and being very unsatisfied with their reply I have vowed never to buy full price items again. It has been far to soon to past judgement on this item yet.

Super comfortable bib shorts
The material of this bib shorts make them feel super luxurious which is good given the price! Used for 3 months and fit great in Medium for me 182 cm and 77 kg. Thigh pocket for phone useful addition. Only issue was green colour, Rapha does not have any tops that match (probably explains why colour was in the discount section!)

My new favorite bibshorts!
These are now my favorite bibshorts. I have used bibshorts from other brands, but Rapha is my go to. I have been happy with the core line but decided to give the Brevit a try. So glad I did. The pad is an upgrade that really makes a difference on longer rides. Very comfortable and the pocket comes in handy as well. Love these!

Fantastic Feel and Look
The bib shorts fit perfectly, feel great on and look fantastic! Had them on a ride today in 28 degree weather and they still felt great and did not over heat. The cargo pocket also comes off in handy at the coffee shop. I have the navy blue and am considering purchasing a second pair. Definitely recommend these bib shorts.

Good bib shorts, good pad. Not cheap
Comfortable shorts. I like the pocket on the leg. Good pad. I got them at a discount price and they still weren’t cheap! Some reflective material on them. I’ve noted on another review that the opening at the end of the leg seemed loose. They were fine on me but I agree they’re not particularly tight at the end of the leg.

Name a better bib
The best pair of bibs I own. Comfort for hours without feeling bulky. The straps being wide banded soft fabric also helps add to the luxurious experience. Fit wise these are supposed to be on the relaxed side of things. I found them to be slightly short feeling on the upper straps. Other than that they're perfect.

Bets bib ever ? for long ride under 25º.
Very comfortable bibs, fits very good, nice fabric, great comfortable chamois pad. I like the pocket on the right leg. Downside of the thick chamois is it's very warm, therefore, on really hot days I rather use a cooler bibs. Also the material on the front side feels a sticky on my belly( on those really hot days)

Best iteration yet!
I,be tried just about every pair of Brevet big shorts from Rapha and this has to be the best yet. The material is the smoothest I’ve ever tried. The fit is snug without too much compression. Fit is spot-on and I can’t think of anything negative to write (yet). Meaning, I hope they hold up after many miles.

Great bib shorts
Ordered large and changed for Medium and fit perfect. 5’ 8” and 33”waist. Happy with quality of bib shorts and material. Seat not comfortable on my hard carbon saddle, but changed to my brooks Cabmium with bit more give and found great match for my 50 mile half day rides. Would recommend shorts to my friends.

My new favorite
best bibs ever. after I bought blue, I then got black. On the advice of the store, I sized down to reduce the leg length ( from XL to L). will never go back. the pocket is great for my phone, and again, i will never go back. Finally, strap/torso design is very comfortable for someone with additional girth

SOFT AND COMFY
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE BIBS! THE MATERIAL IS SOFTER ON THE SKIN THAT THE CARGO BIBS AND THE CHAMOIS IS A BIT THINNER BUT STILL COMFORTABLE. THE ONLY THING I WOULD WANT BETER IS TO HAVE A WIDER LEG OPENING WITH THE STICKY STUFF. I LIKE HOW THE PRO MODELS HAVE A BIGGER CONTACT AREA WITH THE STICKY STUFF.

High quality and comfortable
First bib shorts from Rapha and it is great. I have used them on the road, cyclocross racing and mountain biking (under the Rapha trail shorts). They are very comfortable and fit well. I am 6 feet and 200 lbs and the XL is perfect. I have typically bought Assos and Giordano bib shorts, but no longer.

so comfortable
i really like these bib shorts, they are even more comfortable than the classics and have a much more stylish fit. i could ride in these all day as they are not as restrictive as the pro shorts.
i bought a pair of the original ones when they first came out and i recently purchased another two pairs.

Great bibs for long rides in warm weather!
Bought my first pair of these bibs in prep for a warm weather century ride through some hilly parts of California. These were the perfect choice, padding was comfortable, never got too hot, and the extra leg pocket always comes in handy. Highly recommend these bibs and plan on buying a second pair.

Brevet bibs are near perfect
I am 178 cm tall and usually a 32 waist, about 80 kg and a medium feels perfect.
Excellent quality and comfort. I bought matching jersey and colours aren't quite the same, bibs being a little lighter in the navy.
It has a cargo pocket which I didn't realise and I love using it!

Excellent shorts
Excellent quality bib shorts. Comfortable fitting, very soft and strong stretching material. No pain after 2/3 hours cycling. only downside is that the bottom of the trouser leg is too wide, making it gape a bit. When you cycle in and you tense your muscles, it fits well.

True to size
Really comfortable bibs. Am 5'10" @ ~165 and they fit perfectly. Decent compression on the legs but not too much. The pocket on the leg is well placed and easy to use

You will not regret it
Have purchased multiple bibs from Rapha and honestly wouldn't look back. These are super comfortable for long rides, they sit well all around, and the side pocket is a plus for rides and even post. I'm 6'2". 205lbs and wear a size L. Get these and you won't regret it!

Quality piece
Comfortable, material is 'nice to the touch', excellent pad for longer distances, and the pockets are surprisingly useful. Will probably repeat the order if another sale comes around. 1.82 m, 78 kg, not a fan of compressive clothing, for me XL fits perfectly.

my new favorites
I have just taken my new bibs for their first ride, and with out a doubt these are the most comfortable bibs that I have ever ridden in. I do have a pair of 4 year old brevet bibs but the new ones are a big step up. and also I find the leg pocket very useful
