This super comfortable high quality bib was just what I needed for my ride. It has a thick chamois and comfortable straps. The wide mesh back was great to keep me cool. My favorite is having side pockets on this bib. The deep pockets that held a huge bag of my snacks has a very strong elastic-type material that give outwards not upwards...meaning it won't fall out from the top. There are also two pockets on the back of the bib to hold a gel or in my case lip gloss and a first aid kit. It is a thick band at the legs to ensure it won't move, and it stayed in place perfectly. I will buy this again and again in every color. Highly recommend.
I honestly can't get enough of these bibs. The last 3 weekends, I've worn them for my long hilly rides and can't get over how comfortable they are! I guess that's a sign that I need to get the black ones too, coz apparently I've forgotten that my other bibs exist. When I first wore them, I had to keep checking if I was clothed... they're so aero that you don't feel like you're wearing much of anything, yet give you the comfort that's needed, especially for long rides! I was a little leery about the color, initially as I was nervous they'd show all the sweat and hard work, but not even! I'm so in love with the color. They have good grip and don't ride up. The pockets give me life. Somehow even with the side cargo pockets even if you put bulky nutrition in them, it makes it barely visible and bulky. It's the craziest thing! I can't love these enough. Such great quality. Such a great product from Varlo!
These are the most comfortable cycling bibs I own. I love everything about this. All the pockets are giving me life! But the craziest thing is that I kept having to double check coz they literally feel like you're not wearing anything while giving you the comfort you need on long hilly rides & anything you put in the pockets becomes one with you. The aerodynamics are surreal. I love the color, too! I was slightly leery I wasn't sure if after a long sweaty ride all the sweat would show, but not at all. Also love the grip coz they don't ride up. I now need to get these in black because I have worn these the last 3 weekends and neglected all my other bibs...yep, they're that comfy!
These are my Long ride bibs, they are so comfortable for those long days in the saddle. No rubbing issues, and the pockets are my favorite for the long days. I use them for the used nutrition wrappers and keep the unused nutrition in my jersey. They are super soft, and cut it cute for all body types.
I was really excited about these bibs due to the cargo pockets and the overall high quality. However, the leg openings are SO narrow. If you have any quads at all, avoid these, you'll be disappointed. Otherwise, excellent quality, ook like they would be super comfy for long gravel rides.
Purchased and had to return. Uncomfortable fabric feel, tight in the quads, loose up top, and overly sticky leg grip. Also just felt cheap for how expensive it was. REI is definitely not the place to purchase cycling bibs but had a gift card. Oh well!
These bibs are excellent quality and were super comfortable. I was able to wear them for several hours with no problems and love how many pockets they have.
I have these in the olive/green color and they show butt/crotch sweat pretty badly. I can only wear these on the indoor trainer or when it’s kind of cold outside and I’m on an easy ride. If you plan on sweating in these then be prepared to look like you peed yourself. Aside from that, they are a good fit and comfortable.
It's especially important to have a comfortable chamois and excellent fit when gravel riding. I have other Varlo bibs, so I knew they would be comfortable. I love the pockets! It makes it so easy to store things and reach for them while riding.
Very comfortable over long rides, and the pockets!!
