Why We Like The Rapha Core Bib Short
Featuring everything we need and nothing we don't, Rapha's Core series produces performance cycling apparel for the everyday rider. The Rapha Core Bib Shorts a made with a soft, stretchy, and densely knit Lycra fabric for comfort and mobility and high-stretch suspender straps that stay flat on our shoulders. A single-density chamois keeps us comfortable and reduces fatigue on long rides, and laser-cut leg grippers lined with silicone keep the bib shorts in place no matter how hard we are riding. A central cut-out on the back helps to keep us cool on hotter days, and flatlock seams reduce chafing and make for a comfortable fit.

I try to spend money on 3 most important bicycling products where quality makes a big difference, and bib shorts are #1, to prevent chaffing etc, especially on those difficult long rides. Quite impressed with the quality of fabric, chamois and feel of this Rapha, thought it was just a hype or style, but they have stepped it up and quite happy with them, they run true to slightly small to size, so order appropriately. Usually I wear Assos, Sugoi, Castelli, because they fit best for me as Size Small , but will add Rapha to my list.
