These bibs are fantastic. True to size, yes they’re tight. They’re tights. Worn in temps from 20f to high 50s and couldn’t be more comfortable. I’m 5’11 and 172lbs. The medium fit perfect. Could I go bigger? Sure, maybe. These bib tights are probably the best thermal tights for winter, autumn and early spring riding. I’ll gladly purchase another pair when these wear out but I’ve read they can last for many years with proper care, ie; handwashing and air drying. I look forward to seeing how many miles, and smiles these bibs will last. If you’re on the fence about them, take it from me, buy em. You won’t be disappointed.
I bought these bibs to ride in colder weather in the early Spring and late Autumn. I chose the ones without the chamois so that I could use them for other activities. They slide right over my current bike shorts, but they tend to bunch a bit around the knees. Otherwise, they work great. They are warm and dry, even in wet conditions.
I rely on the PI thermal cycling bibs for cool dry weather, but got these as hopefully a more versatile option for colder wetter conditions- over bike shorts for rides and by themselves for XC skiing or other non cycling activities. Too warm to wear them yet. Should take care of the need to keep hiking my pants up all the time!
The bibs have no padding, which is what I swear I ordered. The bibs are awesome but no chamois pad is a waste of money. But since it’s close out there was nothing the company was willing to do. It’s a bummer, because Pearl’s are the only bib brand I wear, but I’m going to have to find a new company now. I feel slighted.
This is exactly what I wanted to go over my favorite PI Pro shorts. Without the bib straps, tights always sag down and get caught on my seat, especially when getting out of the saddle. Not these! Fit great and just the right amount of warmth for shoulder season riding. I'd love to see a summer weight version of these.
These Lite Bib Tights are really well made but they run small. After reading the reviews I ordered one size up from my old worn out Amfib bib tights and they are a perfect fit (XXL for 6'-3", 205#). I'm missing the ankle zips that my old tights had as these are too loose at the ankles and slide 2" up on my legs.
I wear these over attack shorts (that have a chamois) when it’s in the 40s-50s and they are perfect. The suspenders are incredibly comfortable and the overall fit was perfect for me — I am a M in attack shorts and the M in these bibs also fit like a glove.
Large fit fine ( I use to be a medium ) . 35-45 degrees no problem . Like non zipper leg bottoms . Probably good in light snow ( but visibility precludes much of that ) . Cozy , wind stopping. .
They’re good over shorts from 28 to 45f if you’re on a fitness ride. Anything colder, I’d add a liner or knee warmers underneath. I’d buy again but wish they had a zip fly like a few others.
First ride with the Amfib Light started at 40 F and finished at 65 F and sunny. Perfectly comfortable during the entire ride.
