Thanks to ultra-fine microfibers with a high proportion of elastane, the main material is extremely compressive and long-lasting, so the bibs hold their shape even after repeated washings. 3D anatomically shaped insole made of high-density biofoam is extremely breathable and comfortable thanks to the perforations. Breathability is accentuated by perforated suspenders for optimal moisture wicking during high performance. Universal bibs fit best in the saddle position and provide enough muscle support for fast-paced cycling as well as all-day rides.

    Wow! These bibs are a revelation

    I've been buying Isadore apparel for years now and I'm a loyal customer. Design, quality, price point are top notch. I bought bib shorts from Isadore before and haven't been disappointed. I bought the previous model of these shorts and loved the fit. But this season's version are amazing. The biggest change is the level of compression due to the new material choice. The first time I tried them on I was a bit nervous as they're a tight fit but now after a few wears they slip right now and feel amazing when I ride. I love Isadore for their bold color choices and these are are no exception. Now all I want to wear are high compression shorts when I ride. I'm 5' 11" (180 cm) and wear a Large.

    Feels very good, looks good, but I had quality issues

    Looks indeed amazing, style, good materials, very soft, and runs bigger than usual. I have older version size L, I am 188cm and 90kg, and M fitted perfectly. Also straps are very good, and even cycling in +35C I survived. Now, unfortunately I had 2 linings opened after one sensitive washing, so I had to send it back for repair, took a few weeks as they did not have the same model/size to replace, and so far I was also not even offered a discount. The customer service did not even bother to check my original order for the delivery address, and has asked me twice, so I am quite disappointed, given the price of the goods, you expect premium service when buying such quality/price of cycling equipment. For the sustainability definitely I will keep buying from Isadore, as it is the only affordable on this category, if you compare to MAAP or PSN, that is out of regular people's league.

    Great fitting shorts with a very comfortable pad

    Really pleased with the fit, feel and colour of these shorts (178cm, 76kg, size medium). The pad is extremely comfortable without being bulky and causes me no soreness even after 6 or 7 hour rides, whilst the lycra is soft and fits snugly without feeling over-tight or compressive. My personal preference is for a high bib front, and the Alternative Bibs provide that, but the soft material means it's still easy to pull down for comfort breaks. Highly recommended.

    Lovely bibs

    At 185cm 90kg the size guide said XL, and my other Isadore bibs fit well as XL, but these feel way too big and I should have picked L. The padding is good, but for me it feels like in a slightly wrong position. Sadly I only realized after riding with them.
