“Great fit, and super comfy chamios. Probably my favorite bib, long version. I've been riding in Pactimo bibs for over 6 years, and I really like them. These are the only bibs I buy now.”

“Good not great. Love the long inseam. Chamois compresses too easily to provide much cushion or support. Probably 2hr rides max, which is unfortunate because the leg grippers are perfection. I may try one of their higher end models, but it’s twice the cost just for a better chunk of foam under your grundle.”

“Outstanding bibs and fit. I am 6’0” and 170 lbs- medium is perfect at 33 waist. The chamois fits like a glove. I have now worn these for 1000 miles with rides of 25-80 miles. Perfect! And yes, this is my second pair - adding a second to rotate odd and even days for riding. Size long in the leg.”

“I recently replaced several pairs of Pactimo Summit Strike bibs (3-4 years old) with the Ascent Vector Bibs. Upon trying on the Ascent Vector bibs, I noticed an immediate difference in overall material weight (Ascent Vector is lighter than Summit Strike) and more comfort bib straps. The materials used for the Ascent vector straps and shorts breathe much better when riding. I live in the southwest where this summer (2024), we've set a record over 100 days with temps of 100+ degrees, so I can tell which bibs feel cooler! Compared to the Summit Strike bibs, I initially felt that the Ascent Vector bib strap material was more flimsy and thin, but after wearing and washing many times, I can honestly say they are more comfortable, just as stretchy, barely feel them and durable. I have noticed no wear from repeated washing. The same applies to the shorts body and leg opening elastic. I bought the long version that adds 2-3cm in leg length I like it a lot. I am 5'6" and weigh 160lbs and purchased size M. My older Summit Strike bibs were size S. The leg opening was noticably tighter and the overall compression a bit tighter as well, but that was more than likely due to the smaller size. The Ascent Vector material is smoother and just feels better. When riding, I don't notice the bib straps at all and the overal comfort for me is greater. The pad disappears when sitting on the saddle. For me, bib shorts, bib tights and jerseys are something that is not worth compromising as it has a direct correlation to your on-bike comfort and ride. These bibs are worth it, and even better when it's on sale.”

“I am 5' 11", 175lbs and normally fit into medium clothing. Quality of the product was great as most of Pactimo items I have tried. Length was good but could barely pull the bib legs past my knees. Was uncomfortably compressive above knee to thigh. Everything else fit fine from Chamois to Shoulder. I then ordered and received the Large and it was much more comfortable and just the right amount of compression. The Chamois is ok but find the Specialized and Bontrager much more comfortable. Did forty miles in them on Sunday though. I will keep them and wear them for sure...”
