The cargo pockets rock, the chamois is VERY comfortable, and the fit was perfect following the sizing guide. I want to get rid of my other bib shorts!
I am short and stocky, with huge thighs. Typically I am between M/L, but the size guide recommended 2XL which sounded iffy to me. I've never worn anything greater than an L in any clothes, but I trusted the process. The fit is great, and I am so glad you make a short version!
My only minor complaint is that the chest opening feels a few cm too low-cut. I wish the shorts came up a tiny bit further. This is probably not an issue if you don't have a belly, but I do. I'd also love if there was a non-bib version available; in general I prefer the bibs, but a pair of regular shorts so that I could commute on my road bike and change clothes more easily at my destination would be great.
I love my red white shorts. They are the perfect short as far as I am concerned, I have others, includingAsoss, Castelli and Primal and my red white short is absolutely the best. I never have any issues with it on any length ride.
These shorts are excellent; there really might not be any room for improvement. The company is based in Singapore, and the owner is the only employee! The website says the shorts are designed for long distance rides, but I don't mind being comfortable on short distance rides either, so I don't see the need to buy any other short. In fact, I think that every detail of these shorts has been thought through and refined to the point of excellence.
> My friend prefers shorts with a pad that doesn't extend to the front but rather has felt out there for coverage. He thought they didn't make them that way any longer. Wrong! These shorts have a felt strip (they call it an "elastic mesh cup") incorporated into the front part of the pad. I have never seen that before, but I liked it.
> The pad is comfortable throughout the ride and provides the right amount of sit bone coverage.
> The fabric sits well on the saddle with the right amount of friction, and the thigh holds nicely. The straps were a nice mesh that felt good.
> Nature break access was easy and repositioning felt right.
This company sells only cycling shorts, and the only decision is between a regular short, a cargo short, or an insulated winter version. They have an online questionnaire to determine size that requires some measuring. I submitted my numbers and they asked for me to redo some of the measurements. Finally satisfied, they recommended a size Medium, which is what I almost always get anyway, and it fit perfectly.
If you're only buying one short, this is the one to buy.
My review's anti-spam software initialled flagged this as spam because of that black and white photo of Marilyn Monroe. Had to go an tell it this was a fine review. Thanks for taking the time to write it Jack :)
Found these through a Facebook add , always a bit scepicle but lots of good reviews so thought I'd give them a go. Used the online sizing advisor just to be on the safe side, it differed from my own choice but I went with it as they offered free return if it proved to be wrong. Need'nt have worried the fit was spot on. First ride out and I'll be honest they felt a little too short on the leg but after a few miles and having gotten settled in came to realize that these were the proper length for me and the others I own are actually a bit long. Seat pad is very comfortable, likewise the material and bibs. So from a chance find to real world comfort in one go, my backside thanks you Redwhite.
My first order. i found them cofortable on the long rides and now it is my go to BIB shorts. they are better than Assos mille to me more comfortable at the half of the price
The comfort level is very very high. The chamois is perfectly sized and the fabric is very high quality. Any longer rides these would be ideal. My first ride it was over 95°F and they may be a little too thick for extreme heat, but otherwise am very satisfied on all other points.
At last, a comfortable bib short for the extreme length rides. Comfortable to the last day rather than just day ones 300+ miles...and the multi cargo pockets means less elsehwere which is great. Not easy accessing them when on the move as some competitors versions are - (think Albion cargo shorts) but just means you pack what you don't need on the move in the higher back pockets. a triumph - thank you and will be ordering the second pair....shame to miss out while one is in the wash!
Seriously impressed. Best shorts I’ve have used. Will get some more and the bibtights for winter.
There are three closed-roads sportives in Scotland (Tour O The Borders, Etape Loch Ness and Etape Caledonia - I've done all three). They are a great experience although a tough challenge for a part-time 60 year old cyclist like me; not least on my backside as I don't cycle enough to make Touro's 120km and 1200m ascent painless. For my previous rides I have used Castelli bid shorts but this year I bought my first Redwhite bib shorts for the training and the ride itself, and they were better. The weather was pretty grim going up to the Beef Tub and for the main descent into Moffatt, with a strong headwind and moderately heavy (by Scottish standards) rain. Thankfully the shorts didn't rub, and I was better cushioned than I've been before. I can recommend the closed-road experience (riding with literally thousands of other riders on traffic free roads is fantastic) and definitely enhanced by being in comfortable bib shorts.
9 days of riding in the Alps on gravel trails and the RedWhite shorts performed perfectly. Highly recommend them and Yuva. You won't go wrong.
Great bibs, i prefer them over all my other dozen bib shorts, the drop tail design is simple and perfect, center strap is also comfortable for larger chested woman.
Excelente for long rides. No saddle sores, or numbness anywhere
My second pair, this time cargo. Any other bibs will have to go a long way before I buy anything else again. Cargos are a bit firmer on the leg than equivalent size std due to pockets (as advertised) - if anything I found this a slight improvement. Enough can't be said about the chamois - also as advertised, far superior than anything else for long stints in the saddle.
Used my Red White cargo bibs today. They are AWESOME.
I do a lot of in hot countries, often wearing a light wicking tshirt which doesn't have any pockets. The cargo bib shorts caught my eye as a handy place to keep a phone because I like to take lots of pics and its quickly accessible in the side pockets. There are a lot of sizes to choose, but use the sizing calculator and I ended up sending Yuva some photos to get the perfect fit. I have now done several hundred KM and they are super comfy. Great buy!
I was first unaware or the brand so I was sceptical of ordering these bib short plus also the fact that the company was not a locally based to me in the uk made me more unsure, but after looking on the web for reviews and going onto the company website I thought I would give them a try. First of all the size calculator really helped on getting a good fit I would recommend using it and it’s easy to work out my size I’ve also found out that I’m different sizes in different types of bibs…the cargo ones need to be a bit bigger than the standard. I chose the standard bibs in the end and the fit is really good for my size and weight the sizing is ‘ snug’ at first feel bit this helps on the bike they feel really nice to wear I’ve used them on a multi day bike packing trip recently and had to wash by hand while travelling and they never lost shape or condition and were comfortable on long days in the saddle… I’ve only had them for a few weeks so I’m hopeful that they last as good as the have started, I’m now playing on getting a pair of the cargo bibs and trying those as well. I really liked the money back guarantee that was stated on the web site I didn’t need to use it, but it did give me a bit of confidence in the company. Communication was also great from the company every step of the way about the shipping and delivery and it didn’t take long for delivery at all since they were coming from abroad. I would highly recommend these bibs very competitive price too, I normally buy Rapha or Lecol bibs but this feel like a good replacement hopefully they last as long. Mark UK
This is the second pair of cargo bibs and I can't fault them. From Saturday club rides through to multi day ultra races the shorts just work.
I’ve given these bib shorts a really good test on a new saddle and a tour of the French Alps this week. Performed really well frat fit and comfort - my ‘go-to’ shorts!
RW bibs are my go to when I have a long ride in front of me. Recently took them to Yosemite where I needed all the help I could get to jog back into the park via the 120. An awesome climb made all the better not having to worry about being comfortable in the saddle.
Great bib at a reasonable price! Very comfortable!
I would give it 6 stars if there were 6.
I would give it “three thumbs up” if it was a movie.
I would turn it up to 12 if it was an amplifier.
I would buy another bib (and I did) without thinking twice!
These bibs are a second skin. No movement as you move. The chamois is luxurious. Not a word that comes to mind is it.
It’s nondescript and wonderfully beautiful.
What are you waiting for? Go buy a pair.
I bought these, recommended by a number of riders in my cycle club. Was a little reticent given I couldn’t try them. I followed the measurements which put me in the middle of the scale for the cargo bibs XL. I am 55, 175cm and weigh approximately 84kg. I wear medium or large in Rapha and XL in Castelli and Sportful. They fit perfectly, tight to put on around the glutes, but not tight anywhere else like the straps and don’t feel tight on, leg grippers very comfy. They need to be snug so the hefty pad doesn’t move around. Length is perfect for me, quite long but as I like it. So far longest ride is for 5hrs, comfortable and no issues, I like all the storage. Will probably buy another pair in the spring, I think they are good value compared to equivalent shorts.
I bought 2 bib shorts about 2 months ago, and finally put one to use just 10 days ago. My first observation was the fit. It fitted me very well.
I approached this 3 hour ride with a bit of apprehension but along the way I noticed that that the straps over my shoulders were staying in place. Unlike the ones I gladly replaced, which kept sliding off. The other crucial thing was my comfort level on the seat. There was no frequent shifting, sliding and repositioning my butt on the seat. That’s a huge win for me.
So overall, I’m very happy with my bib-short.
The fit was great. The shoulder straps almost disappears because they are so comfortable. I got a size 3XL although all my other bibs are XL. Use their online fit calculator, and trust it. Mine came slightly snug, but very serviceable. Cant wait to put this in the field.
