So, I was wrong. I have always been critical of the brand as, well I hate cyclists and cycling biggrin

Here's the review. They are really comfortable and I bought the 'cheap' ones rather than the others. The straps over the shoulders are nice and they have more support than some. The pockets are actually brilliant. After a ride out came back and my daughter wanted a spin. The pockets meant I could stick a T shirt on and take my phone without getting stressed. I actually stuck the cycle computer in the other pocket and a snack bar in the rear pocket. Really, decent so far. Wear wise, no idea. Size wise, I went large as I am not built like the average tour rider. The legs are about an inch above my knee, not much different to Castelli for me.

Looking forward to the gravel bike using the pockets and not being dressed up like an ice lolly biggrin

Good job Rapha. Recommended from me. Why not have pockets on shorts?

They are good. Always find myself cursing after trying to put stuff in the non-existent pockets of other bibs biggrin
