SL R Bib Short Men's

Product Details

There's quite a few boxes that your 'favorite pair of bib shorts" must check. The chamois has to be perfect—soft to touch, foam in all the right places, and perfect shape. And the materials must be compressive, yet still comfortable while being sized correctly. It's been a lengthy process, but we're happy to say that the SL Race Bib Shorts check all the right boxes. The pre-molded, triple-density foam Body Geometry Contour 3D Chamois is contoured to perfectly match the curvature of your body, all while being soft and supportive in all the right places. The other part of the comfort equation is the extremely stretchy, soft bib straps paired with a soft four-way stretch fabric. On the performance side, the same four-way stretch fabric also features plenty of compression, for long days in the saddle. The three-inch-tall silicone cuff also ensures that your bibs stay in place in a variety of conditions.

Compressive four-way stretch fabric provides ample leg support, comfort, and a soft hand.
The open suspender construction is designed to keep the bibs in place without constricting the upper body. Stretchy elastic suspenders are extremely plush and soft against the skin and they accommodate taller torso lengths with ease.
Silicone-infused, 3-inch-tall fabric cuff provides a gentle, secure hold on the legs for the perfect, shift-free fit.
Articulated design ensures the perfect fit while in the riding position.
Reflective elements increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions.
UPF 50+ rating protects your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays.
Triple-density-foam, Performance Body Geometry Contour 3D Chamois is pre-molded to match the shape of the body for exceptional comfort.
Slim Fit with an 11" inseam (size Medium).
Fabric Content: MAIN: Knit 68% Nylon, 32% Elastane, UPPER: 80% Polyester, 20% Elastane

No es un mal culotte

No es un mal culotte pero se espera más por el precio pagado. El tejido es bueno, sobre todo en los tirantes es comodísimo, se ajusta muy bien pero una costura interna de la pierna derecha no está bien rematada y roza con el paso de los kilómetros provocando una pequeña irritación. Se soluciona usando una crema antifricción. Respecto a la badana, es de calidad media, las hay mejores por el mismo precio. Mención aparte para la estética, el color del culotte es espectacular y queda muy bonito, pero esto no justifica las demás carencias. En resumen, relación calidad-precio regular.

Very Comfortable on long rides

I got these to ride on longer road and mtb rides. The fit is great Size Medium (I'm 5'7" 150lbs). the straps that go over the shoulders are comfortable and wide, with no stitching, with just enough stretch. Very happy with them!

Most comfortable bibs yet

I have had these for about a year and they hold up well to all sorts of riding abuse. The only SL Race bibs in my closet, all the rest of my stuff are the SL bibs, yet I always reach for these. Shoulder straps fit flush to the body and don't create any friction. Time to get more!

an important piece of cycling apparel

I have decided to treat myself to a high quality bib short, since I have come to my senses and realized how important shorts are for cycling comfort. No skimping anymore. These shorts seem to be of very good quality and the padding is great. Yes, the inseams are long, but from the pictures, they are meant to be that way. The straps are also very comfortable.

Would Recommend?: Si!

Inseam runs long....not good for average or shorter legs

The SL Race Bib Short looks good online, but the 11"" inch inseam is too long for many. I have just slightly shorter than average length legs, and the size medium inseam length is too long and hits the back of the knee while riding, which is very annoying and uncomfortable. Also, did not like the stitching placement on these high end shorts. While I love most Specialized products, I think there are better options for race bibs at this price point. I will be returning these bib shorts.

Nice material and chamois

The material is nice. Compressive and wicking and soft. The chamois is also nice. Huts in the right spots. Although I think it comes up too far in the front. Creates this weird little pouch. I don't like how long the leg grippers are. Needs to be a bit shorter. I'm 6'1"" and they are almost to the knee. Feels weird. Also, the front comes up too high, in my opinion. Feels constricting when in the drops. But, all in all a good bib. At a good price.

Really Really Good padding

Use this a reference, I have bibs Castelli, Sportsful, LaPassione, Rapha, by far this has the best padding. The material is really good by now days all companies have good material. It fits good, the only thing I founded a bit long for a M. Aside from that the bib is amazing.

I recommend this product

The Bib is very comfortable and it dries very fast. I strongly recommend it just watch the size, on the regular SL Bib I use size Large and on the SL race I had to exchange for an XL size. This cost me $15.00 for shipping them back to UT

terrific

a bit pricey, but got a new Specialized bike that is great, so thought I'd take a flyer on the bib shorts. light, fit well, breath, comfortable - and, best of all fit well around my man parts. don't have the discomfort of other shorts that compress things in tight and you say to yourself after I ride a mile this will sort out. bang, put them on and decently comfortable - and, get better as you ride.
