“I am a "big" guy, athleticly built but not fat who is an avid recreational rider (6'3" 215 lbs.) Most weekends I find something challenging to ride in the Colorado Front Range. I wear Garneau, Assos and Gore as my favorite bibs. Two years ago I acquired one pair of Pactimo bibs in their tent sale and really liked them. Looking for another pair I found these Pactimo Summit Stratos bibs with good reviews and decided to try them. I normally wear size XL in the above-mentioned brands (waist size is 36, truthfully is 37) but purchased the XXL in Pactimo based on the sizing chart. The fit is perfect and quite comfortable. I've worn them twice, this last time on a beast climbing day that was quite warm. Sometimes on hot days I get saddle discomfort after 20 miles or so but had no such problem with these Pactimo bibs. The wider legs bands (4") are very comfortable and keep the legs in place without constriction. The material breathes well and at the end of 45 miles I was still very dry and comfortable. While I need to try these on a true long ride I suspect they will become my "go to" bibs.”

“Great quality and comfort. Have had top tier Assos bibs at 2x price and these are as comfortable on all day epics and feel cooler (less hot). I like the look of the dots too.”

“I now have about 500 miles in them, so it’s still early. My impression is that they are excellent. I’ve worn Assos for years and been very satisfied…and would likely have continued, except that Assos changes their designs constantly, and the current versions don’t seem to fit as well, seem overly complicated for a weekend rider…and they are not inexpensive. So reluctantly I decided it was time to try other brands. I tried Castelli, Rapha, Pearls, and Capo, and the Pactimo Stratos fit me by far the best. While I’ve only had them a short time and can’t yet judge the wear or longevity, the construction seems first rate, the length just right, and the fabric construction/pattern/weave is indeed cooler than the Assos. Everyone is different, but I find them very, very comfortable; in fact, on my first ride with them I forgot all about them in the first 5 minutes, and after about 3 hours, they still were very comfortable with no issues— the straps didn’t dig into my shoulders, the pad, the leg grippers, subtle compression— all good. In the course of figuring out what to order (I tried the Summit Raptor as well— also a nice bib, but I liked the Stratos better) had a few questions and called them when I was ordering, and their customer service was also first rate. I’ve had great luck with their Ascent 2 Jersey as well— I have the Davis Phinney edition which I picked up at the Copper Triangle a few years ago. I am now a fan, and intend to get a 2nd pair of the same bibs soon. Good luck!”

“I am not able to comment on the durability yet but so far so good. They fit great. I am 5'10" and 174lbs with a broad build and the large bib and jerseys are perfect.”

“I recently purchased the Summit Stratos "12-Hour" bibs and would highly recommend them. I used them on several 4-6 hour rides, including one on gravel roads and they were very comfortable, and also wicked well, which was nice with the heat and humidity we have been having this summer.”

“Went for a 80 mile ride in 80degree weather. When the back side begins to sweat most bibs sag or become uncomfortable. These worked just fine. They felt good for the hole ride.”
