LE COL  ARC Cargo Cycling Bib Shorts - Men's

These blow my Rapha shorts out of the water. So much more comfortable!

Fantastic Bib shorts. I've used them on 3 rides so far and they've been comfortable and look the business. Very good quality and the sizing is good.

The pockets on the sides and on the rear are so helpful — when you need to stash more than you bargained for. The straps that go over the shoulder are very comfy — I wore them from dawn till dusk with no discomfort. Plus, they are easy to take "a comfort break". We are talking about bib-shorts — so I don't think it's possible to overshare.

If you like the HC bibs, you’ll love these. If you’ve never worn Le Col HC bibs, get these. You’ll love them. Ultra luxurious materials, comfy straps, top tier chamois, handy pockets.

This was my first Le Col garment and I had good first impressions. Sadly after two short rides the fabric on the seat of the shorts was badly pilled and looking very shabby.

Nice color, bags are great, maybe 1 cm too short in length

The perfect set of shorts for anyone looking to tick off some mega rides. Whatever terrain you're looking to tackle, the slightly increased padding in the chamois helps ensure all-day comfort, whilst the addition of the side-pockets is a game changer. This makes on-the-go fuelling even simpler, or helps you quickly access essentials like a phone/camera. (Plus, the pockets are super comfy and great to keep your hands warm during a lengthy cafe stop). I have them in Olive which makes for a much welcomed mix into the kit wardrobe.

It’ll be a few months before the Montreal weather allows me to use these ARC Cargo Bib Shorts outdoors (it’s recently -15C, with icy and snowy roads!), but I did try them on a 2-hour indoor Zwift session. The best compliment I can give is that I essentially completely forgot that I was wearing a new pair of bib shorts! The pad is incredibly comfortable, with a great fit and shape. The material is of very high quality, seemingly more resistant and thicker than the Pro line. The new straps are extremely comfortable and will certainly hold up to demanding gravel rides. The cargo pockets are well made and large enough for my needs. As I straddle between S and M (S for the summer Pro line, M for the insulated Pro Bibs and indoor bibs), I decided to size up and was glad that I did…

The bibs are super comfortable, even on longer tours. Material feels nice and pockets are solid. I personally prefer mesh pockets for ease of access, but the pockets on the ARC bibs also deliver well. Back pockets especially let you wear a t-shirt instead of cycling jersey without losing too much on back storage space. Only one improvement point is the elasticated leg retainer, which could be made of grippier material to avoid the bib moving on the leg while changing position on the bike.

I've been thoroughly impressed with the Cargo Bib Shorts. These shorts are a standout in versatility and durability. The fabric is tough enough to handle the rigors of serious riding without sacrificing comfort. What really sets these shorts apart are the four well-designed pockets. They are perfectly placed and sized to securely hold essentials, which is incredibly convenient for longer rides or when you don’t want to carry a bag. The fit is excellent, providing just the right amount of compression without being restrictive, and the comfort level is unmatched, even on long, challenging rides. Whether you're hitting rugged trails or cruising on the road, these bib cargo shorts meet all the demands with ease. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality, functional cycling gear.
