A comfortable set of bib shorts is the most important clothing purchase any rider can make. Get them right and you can spend hours in the saddle without even noticing them. Get them wrong and every kilometer will feel like a hundred.

The Rapha Bib Shorts have been designed for total comfort. The starting point for any great pair of shorts is the chamois, and Rapha uses one we've tested and loved. Rapha calls it by the company name, the Cytech chamois. A close inspection reveals that this is the same chamois found in Assos' F.I. Mille shorts and Roubaix knickers, only in black. It has a slim, body contour padding to support the sit bones, with a soft finish. You'll feel supreme comfort and protection where it's most needed.

The bib suspenders are made of soft Italian mesh fabric and have a large cut away section to improve breathability around the mid and lower back. The matte black lycra used for the short panels is soft but very strong, with great four-way stretch. Flat lock stitching is used throughout with soft thread for extra comfort. The Rapha Bib Shorts are finished off with gripper around the legs, a small key pocket in the very back and black on black Rapha logos. Available in sizes Small-XXL.
