Have only used on indoor trainer so far but really like the breathable upper, does not feel too hot with jersey on top, unlike with my Assos Mille bib, so good for summer riding and winter riding. Comfortable fit and sit bone support. Will use for 180km Gravel race in August. I am 83kg 1.93M height and regular Large was fine for me, good fit.
This is the 4th pair of cycling nicks I have purchased from Red and White. (Different types for winter and summer) All I can say is that the nicks are excellent and the best I have ever worn. Given I have historically suffered from chaffing (including the use of chaffing creams), when using the Red and White nicks, this problem has been entirely eliminated. I return from long rides (80 kms) still feeling extremely comfortable with no sign of soreness or chaffing.
I strongly recommend this product
I'm a regular solo rider, Bike fitter, etc. ,5'4 129lbs. ordered small size and it fits perfect. I've own a lot of name brands and this one will my go to when I'm doing my long rides. Will order again soon and will recommend to all the cyclist around town ,who have their bike fit session with me. Thanks! great job and always ride safe...
Great bib for the price, but the sizing is at least a size too small.
Good news is they will make it right, but save yourself the heartache if you are a big person and get a size larger than Yuva recommends
Hi Marc, thanks for taking the time to leave this review. The Sizing Helpdesk service is about 97% accurate. From my data, roughly 3% of customers get a recommendation that is inaccurate and require an exchange. I have noticed that over the years, the number has stagnated at 3% and I don't think it's possible to get to 100% accuracy. That being said, it is far better than just relying on a sizing chart since it allows me to capture nuance from a customer (fit preferences, unique body types) that a sizing chart won't be able to. I am sorry the recommendation was off for you, but i'd like to assure you that this isn't the norm.
The main reason for me replying to this review is to disagree with your advice for customers to size up from my recommendation. Considering the numbers (97% accuracy), the right thing for everyone to do is to follow my sizing advice. Most customers do and the accuracy numbers reflect that. Deviating from my recommendation will likely result in a 97% change of a customer getting the wrong size.
On the off chance (3% of the time) that a recommendation is inaccurate, I will make things right for the customer. The only requirement for this is that the bibshort hasn't been ridden in or used. Return postage is free and the customer gets the right size at no extra cost in the event of getting an inaccurate recommendation.
I emailed you about your bib being too tight but have yet to hear back from my last email. Could you shoot me an reply to that when you see it? Thanks! - Yuva
I’ve previously ridden a range of knicks…rapha, attaquer, black sheep, etc but none of them had. held their shape particularly well. Worst of all they let me down at key times in big events. In my house we don’t speak about the “Cobargo event”….
For context, I’m tall and lanky (6’2”) with a bit of a pud.(95-97kg) at times. After a couple of goes, I got my sizing right - 2xl.
I took them out on the weekend for a first spin and wow, 160 odd ks later, I can tell you they’re pretty good.
Importantly there was absolutely no chafe and no saddle sores to speak of. Yes - They fit firm but all of the right pieces remained in all of the right places.
Yuva was patient with my queries and worked through the exchange process without a problem. He was the consulate professional. 100% I would buy again.
I have a few pair of shorts, but these are my far the best I've ever bought. 2 hours on a static bike and a good hilly 4 hour ride really gave them a good test. I am pleased to report that they were extremely comfortable and fitted perfectly.
First of all, I reached out for help with sizing. And I’m glad I did. The size Yuva recommended fits perfectly and is not what I would have originally selected on my own. Second, shipping was incredibly fast to the US east coast, which I was surprised about. Most importantly, these really are high quality. The Lycra is firm and supportive. The chamois is denser than my other bibs, which is expected given these are designed for long distance rides. Since it’s winter here, I put them to the test on a 3.5 hour trainer ride. They performed excellent. I can definitely recommend these bibs for your next century or longer (or shorter of course). If I had to pick one thing that could be better it would be to have the straps be more narrow as these are quite wide, but that’s my own personal preference so take that with a grain of salt. Overall 5 stars. Lastly, I appreciate Yuva’s emails that give insights into the business side of things. It’s so unusual for small businesses to do that and I find it very engaging and educational.
At 5'10" and 165 lbs size large is a great athletic fit. Impressed with the warmth and wind resistance, much better than my other branded winter tights. Enjoyed several February rides with temperatures hovering at the freezing mark and stayed nice and comfortable.
My first choice for bib shorts. Well padded and comfortable. The multiple storage pockets are a superb and i will opt for them every time. The sizing guides are great and assistance provided made sure i got the right fitting. I just completed over 600 miles in 4 consecutive days. I had a different brand of shorts on for the first 2 days and got a bit sore. For the next two days, despite already being sore, the RedWhite shorts made all the difference. Endurance bibs at their best.
I bought these bibs using size guidance from Yura and they fit excellently. He was great with communication, which I think is a real plus buying from this brand. The longest ride I've done so far is only 4.5hrs but I never had any saddle issues. Will be wearing them for Peaks Challenge in Australia which is 230km.
Excellent Product! Particularly like how it is designed to have the thermal fabric extends up along the shoulder straps. As a vertically challenged rider, the shorter inseam is a huge selling point.
Very happy with my new endurance bib shorts. Also very impressed with the service received in the purchasing of them. I chose the wrong size originally and had to send them back. This whole process was so easy and quick.
This is my second purchase of a bib from RW. Reached out to Yuva to get a size recommendation, as usual excellent service and sizing was spot on. Been on a few rides with the cargo bib and it’s been great. Very happy with purchase. RW bibs are my go to now when I go out cycling.
Have only worn my Men's Large bib shorts indoors since getting them a month ago. I'm riding with them on a trainer; at the moment where I live it's midwinter and cold and icy outdoors. The shorts are comfortable and appear very well made. They also have maybe the best pad ever--bouyant and comfy but not too bulky. Hope to test the shorts soon on a longish outdoor ride. I also praise the website for giving clear and helpful instructions about sizing, and the company owner, Yuva, for quickly answering a question & fixing a problem I'd caused with my order. If you're on the fence, get off of it (fence-sitting is uncomfortable!). Give these shorts a try—
I used the red white cargo shorts doing gbduro in August and I'm pleased to report the long version are just as good. Exactly the same awesome fit, just longer and warmer. The temperature rating is bang on at 0-8°C I wouldn't want to be much below freezing, but they're perfectly as advertised
I live in the dessert of the SW United States. That should tell you I don’t use bib tights on the regular. Basically you can cycle in shorts 10 months of the year. If you wait for late morning you can extend that another month. That said, I decided I would train all winter and I needed to be able to go out early mornings. I bought 2 pair of long tights to help out. One from a popular French brand and the other from Redwhite. The Redwhite tights have become my go to. They are so comfortable, have very thoughtful details and fit perfect. The French branded tights only come out of the closet when I have been to lazy to launder the Redwhite’s. I used the sizing advice from the owner and suggest you do the same. I logged 40 miles this morning in 39 deg F temps and never once thought about my legs. Terrific. I will be buying bib shorts from these guys for sure.
I love my winter cargo bibs short inseam. The materials are extremely
High quality and the fit is great. I do own several pairs of normal RW bibs which I use in the normal months and also have a pair of the 3/4 length bibs for shoulder seasons - but honestly I prefer these winter bibs way more than the 3/4 length bibs. Definitely use Yuva’s sizing recommendations as they are very helpful.
Used to own a pair year back and decided to have them since I’ve lost some weight needed a size smaller.
Still a great pair of bibs and value for money. Comfortable and no issues going for long rides. Have gotten myself a second pair.
I have three Redwhite bibs now, two for summer and I picked up a pair for the winter rides. I have tried a handful of other manufacturers, nobody beats Redwhite!
From PNS, Maap & Assos these are roughly 1/4 the price or even half the price and quality is there. But more importantly the fit. Especially in the straps. Most bibs are thin, and from my experience thin straps can cause discomfort after a while. Second and this is probably the best part of them is the height of the "pooch" im not the most skinniest cyclist and far to many bibs do not come high enough. Causing your tummy to pop out and yeah. Having to pull up the front of your bibs constantly is so frustrating. Chammy is good, personally I'd prefer less but after about a thousand miles they break in great. The leg grippers are also what sets them apart. Just enough to not ride up and stay in place but not so grippy that they chaf your thighs. All in all great bibs... awesome bibs!! I'm roughly 68 kilos and wear a size medium. I could size down to a small but my quads are just a little too big along with having broader shoulders. From this moment forward I will only be buying RedWhite bibs!
I purchased a pair last year and have ridden over 1000 miles with them. Very impressed with the comfort while on long rides. I purchased this pair as a second pair to alternate use.
Most of us think about many things on long rides: I must be getting close to the top of this climb; there is a coffee shop near here somewhere; what am I doing here? What I don't think about during long rides are the RedWhite bibs. That's high praise.
I purchased mine about two months ago . I have all brands from ASSOS to pactimo , rapha, maap and various others . I find myself pulling out the red white ones especially when going for longer rides . I think your subconscious speaks to you when selecting the gear of the day and it overrules vanity . I am going to order another pair so in between washings I won’t let vanity take over . 😉
Just received my 4th pair of Bib's from RedWhite - extremely pleased with the fit. The only brand of cycling bib's I feel comfortable in on longer rides.
