Louis GarneauMen's Neo Power Motion Bib Short (2023)(Return to Product Page)

Fit great. Replace heavily use pair of same shorts that finally worn out after 12 years of regular use.

I road cycle about 50-75 miles per week and use these bibs on at least one ride per week. Compared to my other bibs which are Pearlizumi, Campagnolo, and Castelli, these are more comfortable, give better support, and seem to be less fatiguing. The chamois is thick and supportive, and the compression provided really feels good after a two hour ride.

Adequate pad for 2 hrs

Legs seem shorter than advertised

M fits me ; 6'0", 155 lbs

The padding is great, the seams on the straps are the only dislike for me but not bad enough for me not to buy another pair.

This is the fourth pair that I bought. They are the best. Better than all the others. Used them for Ragbrai last year. Great comfort all day long

I wear these bibs whenever I ride my road bike. The fit is great so they are very comfortable at all distances. The chamois is the key! It is well designed and well padded, I like better than the 5-Motion on their more expensive bibs.

I have used many bibs in the past. I have also had sit bone issues so a chamois was key for a bib. The motion airgel is the one that works for me, I have used other bibs that the upper fabric fits better but on long rides i will always choose these. I now own 5 pairs with the airgel and will not buy anything else.

These bibs are one full size larger than previous model years with the black straps. Compression is much less.

If you wear an XL in previous years, you may want to consider ordering a large.

Comfortable Medium. Wish it was a bit more snug

Good shorts

I wait till these are on sale as the quality and longevity are superb. I'm 5'11 175 lbs and wear Large. Highly recommend!

I have a number of these bib shorts. My first pairs were good quality fabric with very good compression and sewn in chamois front and rear. Still have 3 pair that are at least 6-7 years old. My next generation were good quality fabric but glued on chamois fabric in the rear. The fabric over the chamois has curled up over time leading to chafing so I threw these out. Definitely needed the stitching of the older model. Got the latest iteration and the fabric is cheaper/thinner and fabric over chamois still glued in the rear. Will only wear these for short one hour indoor trainer rides and likely never buy them again.

I've been using the LG bibs and shorts for several years and find them to be a great fit. I have a 31" waste, 5'10" tall, 135lbs, and small is just right - tight when first putting on, but immediately forget about them when starting to ride. I hate rubber grips on my legs, so these bibs using just compression are perfect and super comfortable (I'm a mountain biker who doesn't shave legs). Used recently on a 22 1/2 hour mountain bike epic and my rear end was probably the only part of my body that was still feeling okay. I get about 2 years out of them with 2-3 uses a week and being washed after every use (warm water and air dried). There seems to be changes to the pad material occasionally. The latest (7/2021) version has the nice smooth material that doesn't pile after washing. A couple of others did, but are still comfortable. No idea if my resistance to fatigue has increased over 10%.

These are a step down from similarly priced Garneau bibs I bought a few years ago. The material on the legs is very thin and for me does not offer much compression compared to the older ones. The legs tend to ride up my thighs, especially when wearing knee warmers, and then the material bunches up in my hip crease. And I'm starting to notice the material at the leg opening is curling up a bit. Would not buy these again.

I have 4 pairs and grab one for each ride. I've tried Sportful and Assos bibs, but these are the most comfortable to me. The straps hold the shorts in place without digging in, The legs are long enough and the waist is high enough while still allowing for a "nature break".

I have lots of pairs of Carbon 2 Louis Garneau bibs but didn't see that version available anymore, so tried these instead. Big mistake, they provide less compression than my other Garneau bibs, but worse they chafe like crazy, the seam around the pad is super irritating. Took a week to heal up after a 90 minute ride.

I continue to purchase these bibs year after year because they provide all-day comfort, durability and style at a reasonable price. Have tried others but these are the best I've found.

Very disappointed by the thick padding and noticed irritating stitching or chamois edge. Felt like $xx, not a $xxx short. I tried washing once, no improvement. Okay for an hour or two, but no match for a 2020 LG pair I own, or my Pearl Izumi bibs in the same price rage.

I would not recommend.

Fit and sizing are true to American male. I am an XL in just about everything, but many Euro brands push me into the XXL size to get a proper fit in thighs and hips, and even then the bib straps are too tight for my height- 6'4". Garneau doesn't have this problem. The chamois pad is just right- not too thick or too thin. And of course, there are no chafe points.
