Was not impressed with look and feel of these. Material feels cheap and construction is not what I'm used to. Very much felt like separate pieces stitched together rather than an integrated bibshort. Overall, didn't like and returned. Hard to see these as worth the price point.
These are very comfortable and well made bibs. I'm super happy with this purchase. Be aware that they do run a bit short.
I have two four plus hour rides in these bibs. The chamois has been as comfortable as it can be, as good or better than the chamois in the Colorado based cycling apparel I have been using. Like another reviewer said, the fabric is good, but will be warm on summer days. The only real draw back for me is that the leg length is short - they need to be an inch or two longer. The size XL I ordered is a snug fit, but should be fine. I am 6 ft, 200 lbs, 34/35 inch waist and 32 inch inseam. I would buy again when on sale.
Only a few rides so far, +/- 200 miles. I look forward to putting in a longer, single ride but I believe these bibs will hold-up well. The chamois is reasonably comfortable and these bibs have a snug, compression fit. Initially, the shoulder straps felt a lil' scratchy but were fine after the first ride, no worries. The medium fits me best.
I'm a slim 155 lbs, 6' tall with a 33" waist and 19" thighs. I tried sizes large and medium and went with the medium, my normal size. The large fit comfortably but the leg openings were slightly loose.
Sure, there are "better" bibs out there but at this price, the ProCorsa McKenzie Summit Pro Bibshorts offer a very good value.
These bibs are an excellent product at a very reasonable price.
I tried this brand for the first time. I was intrigued by the fabric and chamois construction. It seemed like a quality piece for the price. First, the bibs are true to size. The back panel is superior with a breathable panel. The chamois is excellent on the first couple of rides. I'll see how it holds up over time. The fabric is unique for me, kind of a honeycomb weave, provided good support and compression without restricting movement. Overall a comfortable pair now in my regular rotation
I've purchased McKenzie bibshorts before. The Pro version felt quite snug that I thought they were going to be too small. But, found that I really liked the feel and support. They have loosened up a little after 2 or 3 washings.
The main think I look for in shorts is a good pad since I really enjoy 60+ mile days in the saddle. I found these to be comfortable but also hold everything in place. I'm 5' 9", 153 lbs and purchased a size medium.
Great bib. Quality materials, compression, fit and chamois. Perfect for cooler weather rides. I live in the California Central Valley so they are a little warm in the summer.
I've been using these on my longer training rides and for races as they are very comfortable. A little longer in the leg than I'm used to but that's no issue at all. Good support and good fit overall.
I am 5'9" muscular build at 190lb. I ordered XL and good thing I did, even tho the chart has me at a large. No way would I be able to wear a large.. I do not see how it is possible someone 6' or taller could wear them as the straps would be way too short. The lower band on the leg is tight now but I have a feeling after a few hundred miles they will start to get baggy. Something about the material does not give me a lot of confidence. I got mine on a deal of the day for 1/2 price so that makes them ok. If I had paid $xxx for them I would have been bummed. I will update my review after a couple hundred miles and I hope I am wrong and that I end up loving them.
I own both versions of the McKenzie and enjoy wearing both of them but the chamois is certainly better on the pro model, a good bit thicker it seems and more dense so it's very comfortable for me. The legs come down to my knees with the XL, I'm 5'9' 210lbs, and the material feels thick and provides good compression. For days above 85 degrees with humidity I'm more likely to wear something lighter but these aren't swelteringly hot by any means. Most days I prefer wearing these over my Assos summer bibs as they fit the well-nourished American body type better. The shoulder straps are nice and wide so I never feel them digging in and the 'waistline' is high so it helps to keep any excess baggage from spilling over the edges. When these are on sale I believe they offer a pretty good value.
Seem a little tight,made for slim guys.
The fit and finish is excellent, and very comfortable.
This is a nicely made bib - certainly comparable to the Pearl PRO bib I usually wear, but with a bit nicer chamois. The fabric provides nice compression that doesn't loosen up during long rides like some of the less expensive shorts I've owned. Very nice laser cut straps that are plenty stretchy.
I'm always looking for better bib shorts that don't break the bank. These are head and shoulders above any I've worn and purchased. The McKenzie ProCorsa Summit bib shorts are super. At 50% off sale, they are the best purchase I've ever made for bib shorts that are truly worth their full price. I'm 5' 8" tall 185 lbs, 38 inch waist. Extra large purchase. Fit is perfect!
I have a couple of pairs of the Summit bibshorts and have been impressed with their quality and comfort, particularly for the price.
The Pro version is a nice step up. The fabric feels a bit softer, while retaining better compression over a long ride. I like the slightly longer leg length. Seems just about perfect now.
The chamois in the regular Summit is quite nice, but this one is even a bit better.
I ride 8-10,000 miles yearly so I need a bib that can endure the daily mileage and these bibs appear to be doing the job so far. Time will tell but I am very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair when the time comes to do so.
These bibs are comfortable. they might be a little thick for the summer but will work for the rest of the year. the pad is thinner, but more dense, which I like. I would buy them again. I bought them on sale, for great value for the sale price.
I've found these bibs to be almost equivalent to other top brands that I use. The pad works well. The only problem I've found with them pertains to how much stitching there is' a lot of panels. At the sale price I paid ,it was a good purchase' at the regular price'. probably not so much.
Have only had 5 rides, 250 miles with these bibs so far, but liked them so much after the first ride I bought a second pair (both on sale). They are sized a bit small, I had to go with XXL (6'0", 200#)
