Please bring back the old design and fabric of the expedition pro bibs. The new fabric is less stretchy and the zipper pocket versus drop in thigh pockets are a downgrade. I’m so glad I was able to try these on before actually having to buy them. I’m extremely disappointed with the new design. And I will hang on to my old expedition pros for as long as I can. This was my go to bib for many years, but I will not buy this new model.
These bib shorts feel like you're wearing a softshell on your legs – they're perfect for all-weather conditions. I always get mud splotches up the back of my bibs during early season gravel riding and these don't stain in the way that my other bibs do! Run a bit on the smaller size – I'm solidly a size M and would go for a size L!
These bibs are very comfortable and fitting! The chamois is nice and thick to provide good support on the seat, while the material used in upper body is thin so you hardly feel it while riding. There is no slipping while cycling, so I feel secure, while sweat wicking technology keeps me feeling dry.
Loving these. The fit is dialed, the chamois is next-level comfortable (no saddle fatigue even on all-day rides), and the storage is perfectly placed. The fabric feels premium—it's supportive but still breathable.
Overall I like the fit and fabric of these bib shorts but the chamois feels more bulky than other cycling shorts I've tried. It may just be the shape doesn't work with my body.
True to size. Great chamois and comfortable short. Good value.
