PEARL iZUMi  Expedition Cycling Bib Shorts - Men's

Fit is fine, a little more compressive than I expected. And the durability of the pockets leaves a lot to be desired. I bought these thinking they would be an all day bib for me, and while the chamois is comfortable, they’re just a bit too compressive for those rides that are >3hrs for me. Not to mention the first ride I went on the pocket ripped. I didn’t even notice it get snagged

They fit great and feel good, but the fabric is pretty weak. I found a hole in the back of the left inner thigh and it appears I had been hitting my under the saddle mounted tool bag at that spot, I guess. I wasn't hitting it hard enough for me to even notice, but it was still enough to create a hole. I checked other shorts and bibs I have and none of them have any similar damage, including my most commonly worn pair of Endura shorts which have thousands of miles of use and are nearly a decade old. I have maybe 500 miles on these bibs. Cycling clothes are expensive and I baby mine. Hand wash only and air dry, so I know this isn't a result of mistreatment.

I bought the 2XL, being a bigger gentleman (5'10", 260lbs). . I think I must be in-between the XL and 2XL, maybe. . the chamois kinda. . sticks out a little? I've noticed that after a wash, folding them seems to show that it doesn't naturally curve around the crotch the way that one would expect. . kinda odd. Despite this, the material is comfortable and quality seems decent. The chamois is also a bit thicker than I'm used to (I got the Elite), which is fantastic. I've been considering picking up more (I bought 3, but ride 6 days a week). . but I think I'll wait until I lose more weight and can confidently go down a size!

Overall, these are comfortable, well-made cycling bib shorts and the quality feels very good. The material and padding are comfortable for riding, and they seem like they should hold up well over time. The main thing I noticed is that the fit is a little tighter than a similar pair of cycling bib shorts I previously purchased in the same general style. They’re still wearable and comfortable once on, but they definitely feel more snug than I expected. If you’re between sizes or prefer a slightly less compressive fit, you may want to consider sizing up. Overall, I’m happy with them and would recommend them, just be aware that the fit runs a little on the tight side.

Hmmm, meh. They are alright but extremely hot here in Northern California. I sprung for the cargo short version. I like pockets without having to wear a jersey. The pockets are nice and deep and I think the right one is actually two pockets in one. However, they roasted me on my 90 degree ride. Also, makes me wonder about the weight difference between the "expedition" and there other options. I think they are made with heavy material than their standard shorts / bibs.

Love the fitment. I'm not the average cyclist build more of a sprinter build. These fit my legs the best.

Took them out on a 35-mile ride a day or two after receiving them. My route included rough roads, climbs. Amazing. Snug and super comfortable. No saddle-soreness at all. Colors are better looking in person. I got the Bitter Chocolate ones. These are significantly better than my other Pearl Izumi bib shorts. I'm an inch or two over 6 feet, 200 pounds. The large size fits me well. I am looking forward to using the pockets on longer rides.

I love expedition shorts. They are so comfortable. The straps lay flat on my shoulders and there are no seams. Great for long-distance rides. I love the shorts for my phone and ID

I've finally found the perfect bibs. Best chamois, best fit, best thigh pockets. Just wonderful.

Great for price point. Chamois is good for up to about 4 hours imo, crude but effective. Nice middle compression all around. I doubted the skimpy feeling straps, but wow, they are enough and-- I think they are MORE comfortable than most seamed ones. The cargo pockets are not quite enough really, but I don't need much space for the duration these are fit for-- bigger days get better biggerpocket cargo bibs. But these are very good at what they do. I bought a second pair. I've had em for a full season now, no durability issues at all (they never go to the dryer).
