I am 5'11" tall, 164-165 racing weight, athletic build. I have worn mostly Italian brands (Giordana, Nalini), some Capo, Sportful - and wear a size L in those brands. I decided to give these bibs a try. According to the size chart, I am on the border for size M or L. After a quick online chat with support, decided to go with the size M. Wore them for the first time today on a 65 mile ride. Initial impressions - the fabrics are certainly unique, but soft and supportive. The overall fit is nice, the bib straps are great (hardly notice them), and fabric is very breathable. The chamois felt pretty good, too, but looking to get in some more longer rides to see how they feel. The one "knock" on these bibs - for a top of the line bib at this price point... how can they not have flat seams? This is a pretty big miss on what is touted as a "12 hour" bib short - for which comfort should be priority one. Had to take off one star for that. Otherwise, pretty happy with them so far.

Great and comfortable bibs. Handle hot and humid days very well. The uppers are soft and sturdy. The pad is extremely comfortable for those long days in the saddle. Highly recommend.

Have always loved the 12 hour bibs but the new design is next level. The straps chafe less and the front of the pad is much better for the package.

Good bib initially. Used one a couple 6 hr rides so far with only slight discomfort in the groin area from chafing. However I only noticed that after getting a new bike with a different saddle, so I am still sorta working on getting it fit optimally. I have no comments about long term use yet.

I have done a couple of 12 hr plus rides in these bibs and they both lived up to my comfort and performance expectations. I expect to get a lot of use out of them in the years ahead.

I have no interest in sitting on my bike for 12 hours, but having just worn these bibs for 4 hours, I will say they're excellent trousers. Since they have the fetching fabric pattern, even with a boring black colour, these bibs stand out as unique. I didn't think about my pants at all on my ride, which is exactly what I want from bike clothes.

Used these for my first gravel century and they lived up to my lofty expectations. While I was very sore and tired the next day (and a few days after that if we’re honest…) it wasn’t due to my bibs and saddle. Highly recommend these bibs if you’re heading out for a long ride.

After 10 rides the pad began to stretch (going by Pactimo customer service) and started getting saddle sores where I never had with other bibs. Great quality and CS but didn’t work for me.
