“I really like these bibs, but for a couple of niggles. I feel that the thin waist band is a bit too tight. Just needs a bit more give. I find the straps too narrow as well. I wish these were designed like the Vector bibs, but with the fleecy material and the thigh pockets. I have worn these shorts 3x. Two 50 mile road rides and one 55 mile gravel ride. The pad is great. The only other concern that I have, is the the outside lycra material is beginning to pill where my seat bones touch the saddle. This, after just 3 rides. Seat durability might be an issue. ”

“Love these bibs! I am 5'10" and about 185 lbs (on a good day) and the fit is great. the size was a large. Leg length is perfect as I wear legwarmers or knee warmers with the bibs. Material is top notch with a great pad. very comfortable. What can I say, great bibs for the colder weather that we get in Ohio. I am confused as to the purpose of the pockets, but I am sure that I will find a use for them. My only gripe is the straps. They are stretchy, which is great, however the straps are too narrow. That being said, widen the straps and you have a bonified winner.”

“After a friend suggestion, bought these thermal bibs on sale. First time with bibs that have “pockets” on the thighs. These are fantastic for trash wrappers during longer gravel (and road) rides. Thermal fabric is perfect for the cooler morning commutes but doesn’t overheat on the afternoon warmer commutes home. Will definitely be purchasing more of these in the future.”

“I commute to work year round. Where I live it rarely falls below freezing, but for a week or two out of the year. Knee warmers, thermal knee socks and... summer bibs have not been cutting it. ”

“My first pair of thermal bibs and first pair with outside pockets. They feel more compressive than regular shorts. I love them. Snug and comfortable. Temps in CO have been in 40s and 50s mostly since I began wearing these. Got down into mid 30’s on several rides. Maybe low 60s on a few. Lots of wind too. Wearing them with knee and leg warmers. Maybe wore them in too warm weather once or twice simply cuz I like them. What I thought was trendy gravel trend (I’m still riding my 29 inch FS mtn bike everywhere) has been good too - the pockets are great for key and ID and gels and spare wool beanie.”

“Surprising how many 5-star ratings given to these bibs. Had to say something. Have the reviewers previously owned pactimo gear? I ride exclusively in pactimo bibs (12- hour, Alpine, Storm, artist, etc.) and this new design cut with the horizontal panel at the waist is not an improvement. It cuts into the abdomen – runs parallel to the muscles guys! Hello! It digs into the stomach creates cramps that can only be avoided if you have to pull them way up, which makes it very snug in the crotch. Somehow the straps are located different too, for me, creating nipple rip and necessitating a base layer under the bibs for anything over an hour ride. Love pactimo winter base layer - amazing! but don’t always want to wear one. The bibs are made of outstanding materials, excellent pad – as always! But really, you gotta check this design direction. Not what you think it is.”

“This is my 3rd pair of Alpine thermal bibs. Bought a few because I do multiday rides and the ATBs are fabulous. The pockets are fabulous as well as super convenient, and one of the reasons why I bought a few.”
