Got these on sale, but even when they are not on sale they are a great bib for the price. I have tried several different brands of bibs and I have found that for me I get the best fit and value from Castelli bibs. The fit is consistent and the quality of their products is always great. I've had a sticker or two come off but for the quality that matters like seems not coming apart or chamois coming separated, Castelli bibs have performed. For me the chamois is the right size and shape and very comfortable.

.Great shorts for the long haul over 3 hour rides. Only drawback for me is I have to size up from L to XXL for a good fit.

These bib shorts are very comfortable with excellent padding. I had to go up a size from what I would consider my normal size but still like the shorts. The shoulder straps are a little narrow but still don't really notice them once I'm riding. If you like Castelli, you'll like these shorts.

Had to return my first pair of these bibs when I noticed the stitching on the front panels was coming apart on my first ride, I have just noticed that the replacement pair has similar issues, with micro holes developing where the side panel meets the front, this time after about 4 uses so am very disappointed.

I took out my old pair of endurance Bibs (same size) and notice that Castelli changed the design and stitching on the new shorts, the old design had far more robust stitching and mine are sill going strong - bit disappointed in Castelli with regards to these bibs unfortunately they will have to go back again.

Another piece of well designed and well constructed gear. Wore these on a week long cycling vacation in Colorado, and love them.

I'm 6'2 178lbs, slim build and skinny climbers legs. I normally wear a large in most bibs. Based on reviews I bought these bibs one size up, XL. I found them to be short in the leg and a bit tight in the straps. They were also almost too compressive. On the plus side, I've ridden with great comfort in them for up to five hours and find the chamois is about the best I've ever ridden (and I own some top line bibs), which is great given the price point. And I like the leg gripper design - rock solid. In spite of the short-comings I really like these bibs and so I ordered another pair in XXL and those fit perfect on all counts. Not sure why Castelli sizing is so far off but once you get the fit right I think these are darn nice bibs and would not hesitate recommending them.

The multipanel construction, upgraded fabric and race grade chamois make these my long ride go-to bibs this season. Cut just a tiny bit shorter than most Castelli bibs, these race fit bibs are good on 4 hour rides, just as advertised.

These are really nice bibs but take everyone's recommendation and size up. I usually wear a large bib size up to an XL would definitely go up another size again to a 2XL. They are VERY snug in the groin area when not on the bike. On the bike they are fine tho.

I have great bib shorts from a few companies but these are the best for rides over 2 hours.

Great chamois. Very small fit, order at least one size larger than normal. I'm 5'8 and weigh 150lbs, I normally wear a medium. I purchased a large and they fit VERY snug. I love these bibs, they are great for long days in the saddle.

5'7 145lbs 32 waist. Large fits well. Been wearing these on 50-70 mile rides and they are very comfortable. I like the compression support.

5ft 10in, 139lbs, 31inch waist, very slender build. Went with a small and the fit can best be described as SNUG. The boys are cramped for space and the leg grippers are a bit tight. If I were to gain 2 - 3lbs this would be uncomfortable to unwearable.
Sizing is the only fault here.

I use this product on my Saturday rides. It's just a 40 miler.
