CEROTIPOLAR Cycling Bibs Men, Long Riding Pad Bicycle Biking Bib Shorts UPF50+

This is my 2nd time buying this Ceroti bib. I have many long rides on the first and it's still in great condition. This new one I bought specifically to ride the Rock Cobbler 12 ride/race in Bakersfield. 75 miles, 9000 ft climbing, and 7 hours of gravel insanity. Top 3 most difficult rides I've done. These shorts did great. Did my entire body including my butt hurt? Yes. But they offered great support in the padded area as well as the thigh grips and the fit of the straps. I do have a well-broken in hind end, so take that for what it's worth.I didn't use any of the pockets but they may be useful on other rides. I'm 5'8" and 180 lbs semi-muscular and for this pair I ordered the XL size since I was wearing them over thermal tights. The other pair I have is a size large. This one just has a bit more room. I own other Amazon bibs, and Pearl Izumi, Giro, and Castelli bibs. These are as comfortable and long wearing as any of the others. I will buy more when the time comes. I would also compare these very closely with Przewalski bibs which I really like too.

I use these primarily on the MTB under a set of baggies. This is most likely not their intended use, but here's my .02$.The fit is good: on the racier side so there is a bit of compression. if you don't prefer a race fit type of short, these aren't for you. The rear pockets are what drew me to these as typically with an MTB jersey, there aren't a set of pockets in back. The pockets are nice as they will fit a bottle, snacks and a zippered pocket for keys etc. The legs are longer than a set of true liner bibs which isn't a bad thing. If you run knee pads, these will span the area so there's no gaper gap.What would make it better:I also have a set of their better bib shorts for the road. The chamois is nice in these but the green one in their premium short is better. Since it's the dead of winter here, the breathability of the material isn't an issue but if they made the main body of the short more meshy (basically, if they just put pockets on their good shorts and made them single layer mesh) they would have a winner on their hands.I have a set of Raceface liner bibs and the material is very thin and meshy (since they will be worn under a set of shorts), better pad similar to their premium pad, no pockets and terrible shoulder straps. They also cost twice as much. Even in current form, I believe these bibs are better.These bibs are hard to beat and fault for the price. If you are a gravel person, they're pretty good. For MTB to be used as a liner, they're good but with some tweaks they'd be even better.Hope this helps.I'm editing this review as I cannot write a new new review for these shorts even though they are a completely different offering.This set is the pair that was on sale for $32 (which is a screaming deal). The fabric is nice, as are the panels and shoulder straps. My issue with these though is the chamois: it's nice but is noticeably thicker in the back than the front. That seems trivial but on the bike it will load your hands like you tilted the saddle forward. It also feels unbalanced for lack of a better work just sitting in the saddle.If you're looking for a budget pair of first bibs, everything but the chamois is nice. I would recommend to go with the Italian chamois or the black colored one as they feel better under taint. At least to me. I thought I would give these a try as liked the others enough that I wore out one of the pairs of Italian ones I had purchased three years ago. The manufacturer must have known what they had as these are now $60 and with less color options.Hope this helps.

Excellent cut and fit. Great durability and comfort. Great value for the money

First time bib buyer. Bought a couple to try out because I couldn’t justify paying $150-$250 for a single pair. But I am pleasantly surprised with how good the material was, the chamoi padding was very thick (which I look for in cycling shorts) and they fit pretty well. I got a size medium and i’m 5’7 about 170-175 lbs with thick thighs. The length on the thighs were a little long but I was able to pull them higher without any discomfort. Took me a minute to get my arms through the shoulder area because they were a little tight, but not sure if that’s how they’re designed to be or I’m just not flexible enough yet lol. Side note I did compare them to my buddies bib shorts from Rapha and Pedal Mafia, and these are very close in material, and actually had better padding than both brands. So overall, I think they’re good for the everyday training cyclist and the ballin on a budget cyclist. Would def recommend and purchase more in the future. Hope this review helps.

These are now my go to bibs for all riding. I’ve used them for everything from short indoor trainer rides to long outdoor rides and have no complaints. After a few rides I ordered a second pair I was so happy.I am 5’10 180lbs athletic build and the medium fits me tight but not too tight.m, race fit. I like the cut of the chamois and the foam padding is perfect for long rides but not so thick it feels like your wearing a diaper off the bike. The suspender material is soft, but still holds the bib in place. I am replacing all of my Specialized bibs with these.

Was very happy with this. After reading the reviews I decided to buy it and loved the comfort, feel, and the pockets it has. Rode an 80 mile ride and it was very comfortable and certainly felt as good as the more expensive ones. Will definitely buy these in the future when I am replacing bibs...definitely value for the price. Note sure how durable it is yet but the reviews seem good

I've had a few different pairs of cycling shorts over the years, and the chamois in this one provides some great padding. It seems like it comes up a bit far in the front, but is not uncomfortable in the saddle. Fit is great for me - an XL is perfect at 6'1, 165lbs, 32 waist. The leg grippers are very comfortable, but after a few months they seem like they're getting a bit stretched out and are loose at the very bottom. They still hold, but not sure for how long. Pockets are awesome, back isn't super ventilated with the extra material however.Update after about a year of use - the leg grippers continued to stretch and aren't tight. Still pretty comfortable, but the chamois seems a bit bulkier between your legs than a nicer "typical brand" bib I own. Comfortable on the bike however, which is where it counts.
