A great pair of bibs with excellent workmanship.
The material feels like it has a lot of elasticity. The chamois is fairly thick and well made; great for longer rides.
The bibs do run small. I usually wear a medium from Peal Izumi, Assos, etc. Definitely need to up size to a large on these.
I bought several pairs of the first generation of bib shorts, because they were the best value and had the best features in this price range. The third generation has improvements that make it even better. The laser cut straps are snug and very comfortable (no sagging). The back of the bib is better ventilated and significantly cooler for hot weather rides. The new chamois has an excellent fit and a slight improvement over the first generation. The third generation has fewer panels, but the compression and fit is still outstanding for bibs in this price range. I've been able to squeeze years out of the first generation shorts and hope to do the same with the third generation shorts. I believe these bibs are the best value by far in this price range.
I just got these and used them for the first time for a two and a half hour pain cave session on Zwift. I must admit they held up well. There was no bunching of the chamois, the size was advertised and the straps did not bind or dig in. There is only one thing I don't like, but this is more personal preference and not a negative on the product, and that is the length of the shorts. I like my shorts just a little longer than what these are. The shorts I wear cover 3/4 of the thigh to knee. These shorts cover about 2/3 of the thigh. Not a deal breaker.
Big improvement over McKenzie 2. Latest version is better than the original which I preferred to 2. The bibstraps are now fairly soft laser-cut straps that are placed far enough apart on the front that they don't rub against my nipples while riding. That makes me a happy camper.
Excellent chamois (looks like one of the better Elastic Interface chamois). Nice quality fabric and a rolled leg cuff.
I was a fan of the original McKenzie bib shorts - it was a solidly made product with a good chamois and long-term quality. But I thought the McKenzie II was a bit of a let down - not bad, but not as good as the original version.
This new version uses a very similar pad to the original (I think it's the current version of the same pad) and the legs are a bit longer (a good thing). The biggest improvement is the bib braces which now use stretchy lazer-cut bands, similar to what most brands are using for their high end models these days.
I've only done a couple rides in these, but I'm pretty happy with them. Great value compared to more widely distributed brands. Not quite the equal of upper-end Assos shorts, but comparable to Pearl PRO.
Will definitely get more of these.
This is my 2nd pair, these have an amazing chamois. They're well seen and you just forget about them while riding
I just received them and did a 100 mile ride today and the liner is more comfortable than the liner in the pro version. They do run small. I am 5'9" and 200lbs and athletic build and the shoulder straps on the XL are way too tight. fits like a large or even smaller. The inseam is also an inch or so shorter than the pro version in the same size. It was a good deal on the deal of the day, but not at full price.
These bib shorts are comfortable and fit me well. (I have 3 for a first bib shortprs.!) They are an excellent value if you can get them when they're on sale, sometimes for as much as ~50% off. Some may find the legs a mite short, but I don't and would recommend them for a great quality bib short. Btw, the size chart and fit are quite accurate in my experience.
I've been riding with this bib for 3 rides now (20-32 miles/ride) and experiencing no pain. The straps are soft enough not to cause any chaffing. Thinking of getting 2 more to have enough bibs for rotation.
For reference, I'm 5'7. around 185lbs with a 34" waist and I ordered a Large.
My first pair of ProCorsa. They fit and perform well. I'm used to more compression, and these are in the mid-range for compression IMHO. And I also love how they look! Very generous straps, which is great for me @ 6'2'. The legs are long enough for me. They are in my favorite bit of kit - top 3 for my 25+ rides. And they move well with your body too.
The summit bibshort is the best that you can buy for the money . And they are made in Italy that tells you a lot about these bibshort .
I like these bib shorts because they are short. I really don't understand why cyclists want their bib shorts to fall just above the knees. The quality of these bib shorts is good, well worth the sale price. The chamois is firm and flat, which I like. I'm 6' tall and 175 pounds and the size large fit great. They stay put, so there's no mid-ride adjustments.
Great fit and very comfortable.
Ordered this short several times. The quality and fit are excellent. When these are on sale there is no better value.
Seriously, I love these. I'd still buy them at full price but when they go on sale for nearly half off, it's even better. The padding is just right for me. Not too thick to make you feel like you're wearing four pairs of underwear and it's all bunched up. They work great for me. I think I have six pairs now.
First time wearing bibs. Have been cycling for about three years and I've always worn shorts. These bibs have definitely made it easy for me to never wear cycling shorts again. They are super comfortable. I ride between 50 and 60 miles a day, and I can honestly say the pain I used to experience is gone. Outstanding product in my opinion.
I have been buying these on sale. Low profile chamois is great for at least 3 hour rides. I have bought 2 more. Actually considered the pro bib but decided on the cheaper one because I am so happy with it
I use them for 30-50 road rides. The chamois and leg grippers are fine. The straps are not as comfortable as my Pearl Pros, but at 1/2 the price I'm OK with that. Enough so that I recently bought a 2nd pair.
I purchased these on a great sale and mainly use them for trainer rides on rainy days. On sale the price is perfect. Maybe not so much is they weren't on sale.
Comfortable and so far, durable. I use these for wet weather rides using leg warmers. These have been very nice so far. Have ridden a bit over 600 miles with these, mostly 20-35 mile, 1,200-1,800 foot rides. No problems with these shorts.
