Did you know that bibs are the most popular item in our store? We weren’t really surprised when we learned this ourselves, cause we’re really proud of them. They don’t shout, have no flashy colors: they just work. We like to think that their simplicity led to perfection: we though their design inside out, to the last detail, with nothing redundant.


“The best compliment to pay any shorts is that
you didn't notice wearing them,”

Says one of our customers (read more customer reviews at the end of this guide).

Why they work

The Velits brothers, the twin brothers behind Isadore, spent each over 15 years on their bikes, racing and training daily in the peloton. They got to know good and poor quality apparel; which materials lasted longer and which got destroyed after the first wash; learned (and felt) the difference of few millimetres of cuts.

Their experience influenced every decision we made while designing the bibs: the right cuts, seams, fabrics, and chamois.

Trials, errors and years and years of riding — and we’ve got 6 central pieces of the Isadore’s range.

“TOP QUALITY AND GREAT CHAMOIS.”

Richard, United Kingdom:

“Just got received these this week. Top quality and great chamois. Been really struggling for comfort on new bike with my Castelli bibs. These were super comfortable and worn with leg warmers on a cold day (6 deg C) today were perfect. Well done Isadore, superb product!”


“Simply the best shorts I've ever owned.”

Phil, United Kingdom:

“Having taken a bit of a gamble on these shorts before a trip to Mallorca, I'm glad I did. They only took 4 days from ordering to arriving (UK) in the coolest packaging. However, there's substance to the style. Their first trip out was 140km up and down Puig Major and Sa Calobra. This was followed with another 4 days of 100km+ every day in sun & rain. The best compliment to pay any shorts (or any cycling kit) is that you didn't notice wearing them. That was certainly the case with these. Having used plenty of other brands (Rapha, Assos, Santini, Giordana, Pearl Izumi, Specialized, Endura) I'm sold on Isadore. Simply the best shorts I've ever owned.”


“Isadore's bibs have now joined my old favourites”

Stephen, Denmark:

“Isadore's bibs have now joined my old favourites (De Marchi Contour Plus & Vaude Pro bibs), thanks to the fit, pad comfort and general quality of the product. They do the job for which they are intended discreetly, without fuss or aggravation.”


“Highly recommended“

Markus, Germany:

“The bibs have a great fit and I had no problems using them (or the THERMOROUBAIX variant) on 180km rides. Highly recommended and really great customer support!”


“I took a 200+ ride in a deadly hot summer “

Nick Wang, Taiwan:

“The chamois functions well even when I took a 200+ ride in a deadly hot summer in Taiwan. I love the coldblack fabric especially it makes my leg comfy over 30deg Celcius.”


“Subtly and thoughtfully designed”

Robert:

“As with most Isadore clothing, they don't shout, but are subtly and thoughtfully designed, whilst well made and finished. Just rode on a 206km Audax through southern England on a warm June day. In retrospect I can't recall any discomfort on or off the bike. So if it looks good and feels good, what's not to like?”


“No more pain”

Lochs, Netherlands:

“Fantastic fit, great looks. First impression is impressive: no more pain. Finally my rides are getting a bit more comfortable. Nice to mention: the guys and girls at Isadore offer friendly and fast service.”
