Pearl Izumi
Men's P.R.O. Bib Short

Great bibs. This is my 4th pair. My only complaint is the newer versions the past 3-4 years are longer in the leg. Being 5'7" or so they go to right above my knee. No rub but the older versions were 2 inches shorter in the leg which worked better for me personally. I am sure the taller bikers may like this longer version. Still great bibs and mostly all I wear now. I still use my 8 year old versions of these for short rides. They really last a long time. Worth the money.

This is my fourth pair of these bibs. I have 2 pairs of these pro bibs that are 6 year old, I have put tens of thousands of miles on them and still in regular rotation. Mostly use the older ones for mid distance and the new ones for long rides. I have tried a half dozen (Castelli, sportful, Giro, Gore Wear, etc) other brands high end bib shorts and these just fit me well. Comfortable very breathable fabric. Nice laser cut straps that are soft and do not dig into skin even after 8 hours in the saddle. Pad is well fitting with good coverage but not overly bulky. My pair of Sportful bibs are crazy lightweight, breathable but the pad is massive so tends to rub on long rides. These PI Pro do not for me. If you put in the miles these are well worth the money in my opinion. Especially considering how long they tend to last. My only quibble on the new versions is that the legs are a tad longer than the old ones. I am 5'8", 160lbs. Wear a medium. The old versions stopped 4-5 inches above my knee. The new ones end an inch above knee. They do rub behind the knee though so not a big deal. Just personal preference that I liked the shorter leg length but designs/trends change. I have been cycling for 30 years.

I'm 165 and 5'10" and bought the medium. Great fit, and the unfinished edges are very comfortable. Wide straps that are also unfinished are almost unnoticeable. Compression at legs is goldilocks right and makes sure they stay put.

These bibs are a bit tighter fitting than Bontrager Velocis (MED) or Castelli Free Aero Race 4 (LRG) bibs and the chamois is more comfortable as well. It took a few times using these bibs to get used to them but once I did I began to like them more. They are cut a bit longer than Bontrager which I like. I like the Bontragers but on long rides they tend to chafe me on the inner thigh crease. The Castellis chamois in not as comfortable on longer rides. Im splitting hairs on the comparison, as they are all good bib shorts, but if I could only pick only one, Id pick the Pearls. Im 5-11, 165-170lbs and I wear the Mediums.

Bike most every day. Great product and is comfortable.

Got this as a gift and tested it out in 90-degree weather on a 66-mile ride. Everything about the bib short was perfect. Just enough tension in the suspenders to keep the chamois in place, without pulling down on the shoulders. A very thin, minimalist design breathes easy. Overall you just don't notice the bib while you're riding.

If you are into riding long distances and want comfortable padding and shorts that are well constructed then the Pearl Izumi PRO bib shorts are what you need. The gel in the bottom of the legs prevents the shorts from riding up when you pedal. These shorts are worth if the extra expense.

Needed something reliable with no flashy graphics that went with all my team kit and other jerseys. These bibs are so supple- laser cut edges are kinda rad- they disappear on me. Chamois is a bit sparse but still solid.

I've worn P.R.O-level Pearl Izumi bibs for the last 7 years and always been happy with the fit and durability. This latest iteration is truly a notch (or two) above anything in the past. Chamois appears unchanged and is as good as ever for 100+ mile days in the saddle. The short and suspenders conform so perfectly and seamlessly that they seem to disappear. There's no binding or bunching at the leg openings, crotch, shoulder straps or...anywhere.

I use this garment these daily for shortish conditioning sessions. In general, it does what I'd like, fitting snugly, keeping the legs in place, and not sagging as they wear in. The padding is pretty well placed and works well, especially when using chamois cream liberally. However, it would be more effective if it continued across the inguinal fold and down the medial thigh.

A fray has started at the bottom of the abdominal piece, but it has not propagated after several months of daily use. This is a concern. It shouldn't happen to a product in this price range. However, I have elected to continue using it, since this small defect has not damaged overall usefulness.

In sum, this is not the best cycling garment I've ever used, but it's pretty good withal and worth the price.

so far, these are the best bibs for a 6'2" 250# rider who has ridden 37 years. Good stretch, length, give, & feel

As a BIG rider, adequate size uncompromised by lesser performance qualities is crucial to me, and these are spot on.

I own a few older pro escape bib tights and love them. Have put thousands of miles on them and still in pretty good shape. These are not quite as good in my opinion. Leg is maybe an inch longer and the pad does not seem the same quality. Still very comfortable. The older versions I could do a 100 mile ride with only a little discomfort. These not so much. Have done a few 70-80 mile rides on Selle smp pro saddle I usually ride and some mild discomfort after 50-60. Not so bad as to return but may try another brand next time. Brands always have to change things even when they work great as is. Frustrating to say the least.

I am 6' 6". These are long enough in the torso. The chamois is excellent. I like the leg length. They are very comfortable even on a 5 hour ride. I�m really happy I bought them.

I have multiple older pro escape models I have put thousands of miles on. My personal favorite. Needing to replace a couple so bought these on sale. Has the pro escape pad which I really like for long rides over 50 miles. Work well over a hundred too but at that point no pad it perfect. The pursuit model pad is too thin for distance rides. The fabric on these is also soft with decent compression. My only complaint is these new models have long legs. Why why why?? New trend in style I presume because there is absolutely no good reason otherwise. These sit right above my knees. Older version sat 34 down thighs. I am 58, 160 lbs and if I want knickers I will by knickers! Oie, silly design. Still great shorts but wish they had a shorter leg option if they are going to redesign them this way. On hot, long training rides I want less. Not More!

Perineum pad continually bunches up and is uncomfortable. Continually stopping to stretch out the pad, shift the pad back and lift the back of the suspenders. Hasn�t gotten any better after half a dozen rides. Might be better with a thinner perineum pad. Bought the bibs as my �Attack� shorts wouldn�t last my 40 mile rides. �Attack� shorts are much more comfortable my Pro bibs. Disappointing.

I'm 6'2", 200 lbs and the Large fits me well...The material on these is silky soft and unlike no other...the laser cut straps are the most comfortable I've tried...The laser cut leg openings are comfortable , as well....seems very lightweight...The chamois is quite good....but not unmatched...the material and comfort are what sets these apart from others...At full price , a little expensive...I paid $150 on sale...have 3 pair....

These are, by far, the most comfortable pair of bib shorts I have ever worn. To say the fabric is soft as butter is an understatement. Not initially a fan of the new chamois, but have grown to like how it feels more than how it looks. Hope they stand the test of many hours in the saddle.

Excellent fit. Comfortable, cool and lightweight. Chamois is one of my preferred. I ride 100-150 miles per week in 20-50 mile increments.

I've owned many bib cycling shorts over the past 15 years. These are by far the most comfortable. Thank you for your good price and fast shipping.
