Let customers speak for us
I ride Mtb’s a ton and have difficulty finding a liner. I’ve used the Black Bibs Ultimate Adventure Liner for a month now for my Mtb rides and I will be switching out all my MTB liners to The Black Bibs. Super comfortable and I could ride all day in them without having to adjust or feel like they are bunching up.
Being fairly new to cycling, I wish I would have known about The Black Bibs sooner. placed my order on 4/14 and received on 4/18, and that was USPS shipping! I am 6'6" and the other I have tried their models must have been 4'6". I never knew a bib could be so comfortable. I would also say at $85.00, these are as comfortable and the same quality as bibs I have bought at twice price.
If you are tall or big or big and tall and have struggled to find a quality bib that doesn't force you to eat ramen the rest of the month give these a try. You don't have to spend $150.00+ to get a great bib, that isn't even offered in a tall size!
I have only used them a couple of times now. I will update my review after a few more rides.
Many Thanks to Cliff for all of his assistance!

Shows my soft side when pushing 500Watt. I don't know why I did a review for a cycling bottle!!!
After the first ride the chamois felt like it got broken in and these bibs are very comfortable. Washed after each ride and had 3 consecutive days of 34 miles each. The exterior felt slick on the first two rides but no issues. I will order more!
Great vest with vibrant color, nice material quality, and 2-way zipper. Two rear pockets are great for storing extra food, phone, etc. and the 2-way zipper makes it easy to get to your jersey pockets (an unexpected bonus). It compacts down nicely to tuck into a jersey pocket if the temps rise. (I wear a women's medium race fit TBB jersey and find the XS to be a good slim fit -- I am 5'6", 130 lbs, and have a slim torso.)
Great fit. No pinching or slipping. Solid construction. My new go to shorts. No frills just fit, comfort and a very reasonable price. And made in the USA.
I had my first ride with these today on suburban mtb/gravel trails. Temps were warm (~60) and my hands were neither hot nor cold. I could probably use these down to 50 degrees with no problem. The palm has some padding, but not a lot. I generally ride gloves with no padding, so it took a minute to get used to the extra bulk. After an hour, though, I didn’t notice the padding at all, and the fit was very good. I generally wear a men’s small, and the small size in this glove was perfect. The construction is very good.
I’m really pleased with them. They look great and feel great. Really impressed with how they perform!
This fall I have been testing the "top end" models from Pearl Izumi and Craft and none have the comfort as the Ultimate Chamois on The Black Bibs, esp. while in the aero or time trial position. The trend with the other brands seems to be a new short pad design, making them less comfortable for TT use. I used these bibs earlier this month on a 24-hour race -- usually for such events I have to re-apply chamois lube part way through...but not with these. Perfect...please don't change the chamois pad.
These were delivered on a Friday. Wore them on my birthday ride (81 miles) the next morning. Zero discomfort for the entire distance. Definitely recommend!
After one ride these new bibs are a strong contender as the first choice for my next multiday adventure. I'm as sweater and typically everything runs downhill. That means my nether regions tend to get as swampy as a Louisiana bog.
Butt (see what I did there?) NO MORE!...I say..."Breathability" is an understatement. The sheen on my leather saddle was west Texas dry post ride this time around. Typically it has stains and drips like the tear stains of the unfortunate soul who held my bike by the saddle one time...but I digress...Black Bibs with another win!
Perfect for both kiddos!
My first wear was a 128mi ride. The Adventure bibs and summer jersey exceeded expectations. I will be buying Black Bibs again.
Woohoo!
