Purchased a pair of XL Shorter. I'm 5'5" and weight about 152. I was in between the L and XL size. Initially I ordered the Large, but felt they were too tight, so returned for XL, which fit great. Walking around in the new bibs, the pad seemed too big, but riding in them the pad was perfect. I've been wearing Assos bibs which are great bibs, but I kept getting a saddle sore where the pad ended. The RedWhite pad covers that area; problem solved! I also like the snugness around the thighs.
Im a long time sufferer of pain on my sit bones and have tried many brands/styles of shorts, bib shorts etc etc. Then someone mentioned Redwhite apparel, so i ordered a pair. Delivery was quick, and was keen to try out these bib shorts.
After 500 miles i have to say its the most comfortable miles i have put in. These bibshorts have given me a new found love for long distance cycling!!
Thank you for providing such an awesome product!
Very comfortable bib shorts. Extremely happy with the purchase. Highly recommended.
These bibs are sweet! I'm about 6'2" 185lbs and the large fits very well. Snug in the right places, comfortable in the important places. I was admittedly skeptical, but have really enjoyed these bibs and highly recommend.
These are my favorite bib shorts. It is so much easier to grab my phone from the front pocket instead of reaching back to my jersey pocket. I recently rode without a jersey and used all of the pockets of my shorts. I hardly knew anything was in there.
I tried Louis Garneau and Assos, then got a pair of these. I think these are a little better than any of the other bibs I've tried.
I bought the winter bibs this time and have only ridden one short ride (1:20). I did not feel any pressure points and my Fizik' saddle has never felt so comfortable! I have several other brands (Assos, Castelli, Exteondo, Pearl, Rapha etc) but for me these are the most comfortable. I bought the size XL. I am 6' 1" tall and weigh 190 lb. I am a 74 year old, (semi) retired male, living in a coastal town on the west coast of California. Average summer temperatures 55 to 60 degrees; winter temp average 45 degrees with 70-80 inches of yearly rain. Thank you for providing such a wonderful product at a very fair price.
First, I have to talk about my amazing customer experience with RedWhite Apparel. I purchased a pair of bibs. They shipped and arrived very quickly. Unfortunately, I found that they had a factory defect. However, I reached out, describing the issue with photos, and was immediately sent a replacement pair. I received the bibs and replacement pair in less time than I would have received my order from many other companies. After that experience, I also purchased a pair of the Cargo Bibs (I have a review on them if you are interested)
The bibs. To put these to the test, I brought these bibs and the RedWhite Cargo Bibs for two weeks of riding, including mountain biking and endurance road riding. I rode 524 miles in the two pairs of bibs and spent 39.5 hours in the saddle. These bibs are built for long rides and are comfortable for many hours in the saddle. Additionally, as this was multiple days of riding, I washed the bibs in the shower or sink at the end of each day, and they dried out overnight and were ready for another ride. To say I was impressed by these bibs would be a vast understatement. I plan to use these for my endurance rides- maybe even the shorter ones because they are so comfortable!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review Philip :) - Yuva
I recently completed a big endurance benefit ride; I wore only RedWhite bibs for the ride- I thought it was an awesome opportunity to put these to the test. I logged 332 miles wearing the cargo bibs across New England. The pockets are spacious and well placed; I could carry all the essentials and a little extra. In addition, these bibs are very comfortable. After 332 miles, I had saddle sores; the chamois on these is built for severe endurance riding. In addition, as this riding took place over multiple days, I washed the bibs in the shower, hung them up overnight, and dried quickly so I could be assured they would be ready to ride the next day. To say I was impressed is a vast understatement. I'm about to replace my whole riding wardrobe with RedWhite bibs!
I'm glad the pockets came in handy for carrying all your essentials. And thank you for trusting us with your entire riding wardrobe - Yuva
I'm 6 ft (183 cm) tall and 165 lb (75 kg) size Large. I now have several hundred miles on my bib shorts and they are one of the most comfortable bibs I've worn. Great on both long 80+ mile day rides and intermediate rides of 30-40 miles. I would have to say my only complaint is the leg length. They tend to creep up about 2" inches on my thigh which is about 1" inch higher than most brands I've worn. A longer +2" inch option for tallish skinny legs would be a welcome option or just make the standard size about 1-1.5" inch longer. Anyone considering a purchase should not hesitate. Thank you, Yuva for your excellent customer service.
Hi SB, thank you for leaving this review. I suspect the bibs ride up because they're not tight enough on you. At 183cm tall and 75kg, you probably need size M (Regular) in The BIB and not the size L. You should measure your glute circumference. If that is less than 39 inches, you should go down a size to M (Regular). - YUVA
Very comfortable, where it needs to be, on two hour, 30+mile road rides. To get the longest lifespan, I'm washing them by hand and rotating between these an another brand purchased at the same time. It will be a good test comparison to determine which brand lasts longer and becomes my brand of choice.
Cycling comfort is essential for me as it eliminates distractions and helps me push further. Cycling, however, can be an expensive hobby, especially with high-end brands. That’s when I discovered RedWhite Apparel. Their genuine reviews piqued my interest, and after learning about Yuva’s journey to create a bib short that met his high standards for comfort, I decided to give them a try. Plus, they were more affordable than most high-end options!
The ordering process was smooth, and delivery was quick. Upon arrival, I noticed the high-quality Lycra, impeccable seams, and durable leg grips. The pad design, especially at the front, was unique. When I tried them on, they felt tight but perfectly placed on critical areas like the seat bones and undercarriage. I anticipated they'd become even more comfortable with time.
For the first test, I did a 25km indoor ride; they felt great. The real test was a 95km event, mainly off-road and wet conditions. As always, I applied chamois cream and slipped them on. They fit snugly, which I prefer. Throughout the event, I didn’t even think about discomfort—no sore spots and no butt pain. I felt as though I could ride another 95km!
In conclusion, RedWhite Apparel’s bib shorts were so comfortable they eliminated all distractions. They’ve become my go-to shorts for endurance rides. Fantastic value for money, just make sure to use the size chart to get the perfect fit!
I do long distance cycling and I have tried multiple models and brands, and this one is by far the best. The chamois is really confortable and great quality. It stays in place all day long and don't feel humid in hot temperature.
This is my 3rd order and I cant say enough about these bibs. They are my go too I am now at 8 pairs and counting. Perfect fit, comfortable, and top notch quality!!
I have cycled >50,000 miles in SW Florida wearing RW bibs. They are not questionably the very best out there. They have tried most of the other “good” bibs some of which cost a little less but I keep coming back to RW. Long rides ~70 miles are no problem. The new design with the dots on the legs are a great improvement.
I’ve been in the cycling industry for nearly 20 years and tried nearly all the other big name brand bibs. The Red White Apparel bib is far superior when it comes to comfort. The basic no frills design allows it to come in at an impressive price point and beat out all the competition. Their sizing process was accurate, couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I will certainly be ordering more. What a great find! Thank you!!
After seeing these bib shorts on Instagram and reading the reviews I bought a pair before setting off for a recent 1,000 mile, 10 day, Land's End to John O'Groats cycle. They were my most comfortable bib shorts by far and I ended up wearing them more than any other. Coped well with several 100+ mile days. Great product, fantastic customer service, thoroughly recommended!! 5/5.
Hard to describe how great my buying experience was. At first, I was told to look at Red White bibs from my physio as they were the best when it came to comfort/fit when looking for great endurance bibs. I couldn't be happier when I received it (The Bib). The fit is snug, the pad is just firm enough to provide support and to stay comfortable on long runs and the overall material, wow, couldn't ask for more. Bonus points: Sizing help from Yuva = the best ! His recommendation based on my measurements were perfect. Would and will buy again !!
These bibs have been great! Where I live the temperature can change drastically throughout the day. It may be 40F in the morning, and quickly warm up to upper 80’s. I purchased these bibs as a kind of in between to keep me warmer on the cool mornings and not too hot as the temperature rises. They have performed great. They keep me just warm enough on chilly mornings, but don’t cause me to overheat once it warms up. The chamois is very comfortable and supportive. The sizing recommended to me by Yuva was also spot on! The material is very comfortable on your skin. I am also very pleased with the elastic leg openings. They stay in place and they do so without feeling like you have a rubber cuff around your leg. I have had various bibs from other companies, both more expensive and more budget oriented, and these bibs have been my best purchase yet. I will definitely be adding more bibs from Red White to my kit!
Picked these up recently, went on a 70mi 5000’ ride and fell in love. These definitely do what they’re made to do. I’ll be picking up some cargo versions for a white rim in a day ride next spring.
I live in the US and since the sizing is modeled around Asian fit, I reached out to Yuva for advice. I am 6'2" (186cm) and 230lbs (105kg). I typically fit XL Euro bibs or L/XL US bibs. Yuva recommended the 3XL initially for a tighter fit, but after a couple of rides I noticed that some stitching was starting to unthread. I reached out to RedWhite and Yuva sent me a replacement in 4XL promptly! I appreciate the long lasting comfort of the chamois and the overall fit and finish of the bibs. I have not yet taken these bibs on any rides of over 200km, but have compared them to several other brands' long distance chamois for 5 plus hour rides. In terms of comfort, only the Le Col Hors Categorie bibs match RedWhite and they cost twice as much.
Having used Red White bibs several years ago and being always happy with them, when I moved to Europe i stupidly got caught up with the idea of trying the well known brands and in many ways was satisfied by them ( despite their high cost) but never completely satisfied! There was always something that took away from the quality, stitches that come apart etc. small details that shouldn’t happen.
I ride 400+kms every week so the shorts get a lot of use and need to be able to be comfortable, maintain their shape and be something that I forget about when riding, day after day.
After a month of wearing them I can honestly say that they fulfill all my expectations and for a price that is more than reasonable.
Back as a complete fan of Red White and will definitely be making another purchase soon.
Thanks for your integrity Yuva.
I have been a Red White customer for about 10 years and I have been very happy with their products, customer service, and quality materials. I purchased the 3/4 winter bibs because here in the high altitude of Santa Fe, NM we have long cool autumn and spring seasons. I’m sorry to hear these will be discontinued, but I am happy to have a pair that will no doubt give me years of riding comfort.
Bought the bib after hearing good reviews about it from 2 different group of friends who owned it. Definitely did not regret my purchase. Quality is top notch and price is definitely affordable when compared to other known western brands. Comfort on the saddle is top notch too. Gonna be my go to bib choice for my rides.
I seriously don’t remember how I found the redwhite link when I was searching for my next pair of cycling bibs but I am sooooo glad I did! They are sooooo comfortable and look great! I spent about 30 minutes reading the reviews like this one. Soooo many of us are digging these bibs. If you have questions about sizing contact Yuva. He will kindly set you up! I am 6’0” around 200 lbs. haha heavier than normal, 34” waist. Yuva recommended 2XL and presto…when it came…it fit perfectly!!! Most of my rides have been 2-3 hours with no issues! I will be wearing these on Ragbrai next year! Soooo worth it!!! Cheers my biker friends!!!
