Why We Like The Pro Bib Short
If comfort is king, then quality is the queen of our list of requirements for a solid road cycling kit. The Pro Bib Short puts both at the forefront of its design, and it's complete with everything from a plushy chamois to raw-edge bib straps that enhance comfort and fit. A center front bib clip allows for customization, and a laser-cut raw edge leg hem creates a seamless short-to-skin transition.

Most comfortable bibs in my wardrobe
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- Med
Very comfortable fit , fabric. and chamois. I especially love the drop tail design and color choices. I can't understand why other manufacturers aren't converting to a similiar design. Oh well, their loss. I'm 5'4", 36" hips and the Med fits perfectly (the small was a bit snug)

Questionable durability
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Girlfriend loves the fit and said it was comfortable on the bike. We tried a few brands and this is her favorite. But I noticed that after the first ride the fabric is starting to wear and pill in the seat area. So I’m worried about how well they will hold up over time.

Worth every penny
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I really wish I didn’t like these bibs so much because they’re so expensive but they’re worth it. I have three pairs that I rotate through and I get very annoyed when I forget to do bike laundry and have to wear anything else. I ride XC in them 3-5 days a week, and also used them as liners for racing enduro. They show almost zero wear after ~14 months of use, except for one pair that has a few pinholes in the leg from a high speed XC crash.

I have worn this for 12+ rides and so comfy. I love that it has a drop tail for mid-ride breaks. I have ridden both MTB and Road with this bib and it does its job for both. The Chamois is also in a great spot for me!

I wanted to like this one, but like the other Pro bib in this line, it either nails it or fails. Very tight straps, but nailed the material, easy to get off, with a nice feel and center clip. But the straps have a raw edge. They will wear out faster. Love handle area came up too short and feels weird, but no underwear line. Legs had a great material, such a silky feel, but not supper grippy. Chaomis: 7/10. Average width in the butt area, and on the more padded side. I returned it because of my longer torso, and the weird midsection.
