A decent pair of bibs will be your battle-hardened friend for interval sets and endurance sessions on the bike and turbo. But which pair of bib shorts is best and offers the best comfort and ventilation for cycling? We review some of the best bib cycling shorts on the market today.<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, when worn alone they look like a 1980s wrestling outfit, but a pair of bib-shorts are one of the key training investments a triathlete can make. Due to their durability and versatility for turbo training and outdoor bike sets of every type, their cost-per-wear ratio is one of the lowest in the tri wardrobe.<\/p>\n While they all look fairly similar, with an array of fabric types, pad options and strap combinations, there are subtle differences to look out for when buying your bibs.<\/p>\n Fit, as ever, is key and the overall sizing should be snug yet comfortable in the pedalling position and without any movement of chamois pad, so study the sizing chart. The pad size and thickness of the bibs on test here all vary.<\/p>\n Chamois type can be a personal thing that depends on your size, your saddle type and, yes, how hardened your bottom is to extended sojourns on the bike, so studying the pad is essential. Happily for those who suffer from a sore bottom, pad technology has developed hugely in recent times, something evident in the multidensity and largely spongy options on test here.<\/p>\n Also worth thinking about is your intended use for the bibshorts. Some brands will offer thicker winter bibs, while others have mesh designs for summer riding and intense sets in the conservatory on Zwift. Here we\u2019ll assess the range of fabrics, strap designs and the finishing of the six men\u2019s and women\u2019s bibs on test in a bid to find the next pair for you.<\/p>\nWhat should you look for in a pair of bib shorts?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
