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.

At 6’5 myself with an inseam measured at 37”, the “tall” bibs wound up being slightly too long in the leg area, but the strap length (and everything else) is perfect. May consider ordering the long strap / regular inseam version whenever I order the next set.

Despite the minor length issue with the inseam, I’ve been able to just about double my mileage vs. the more expensive Castelli bibs I was wearing before.

Of all the features a pair of bib shorts can have, the most important by far is the fit. I’m 6’7” 205lbs and these are the best fitting bibs I have ever owned. I have bought 5 of them over the past few years and won’t even consider other brands. Id give the quality an A- (there are nicer brands out there) but the extra length puts them over the top as my favorite bibs ever.

I am 6'2" 175lbs and thought I could use a size large tall bib. These bibs had the perfect length straps but the legs went all the way to my kneecaps. Fortunately BlackBibs has a great exchange policy. I am exchanging for Regular Length bibs with Long straps in size large

I am 6’4” with a 36” inseam. I weigh 190 lbs. The medium bibs fit awesome! I have been wearing these for years and wouldn't wear anything else!
