The Drop-Tail BIB (Women's) is RedWhite's signature long distance cycling bib short for women with a Y-style Drop-Tail strap for easy nature breaks. The front of this bibshort uses a Y-style mesh strap with a plunging neckline for comfort. The back features a split strap that connects just above your posterior for easy pull-down during nature breaks. 

Just pull it down at the rear, do your thing and pull it back up. No awkward magnetic clasps, buckles or attachments to fiddle about with.

A Drop-Tail Bib Short Built for Long Distance Rides

This bib short is designed to help you crush big miles in comfort. It is made for rides of more than 5 hours and has been ridden in events such as :

  • Transcontinental Race
  • AUDAX
  • Paris-Brest-Paris
  • Race Across America
  • Pacific Coast Bicycle Race
How to use the Drop-Tail Strap :

This bibshort is designed to be pulled down at the rear without removing your jersey. To use this feature, do the following :

  1. Lift the rear of your jersey and hook your thumbs into the gap between the straps at the rear.
  2. Gently bend your legs at the knees.
  3. Pull down the bibs over your posterior. You will encounter some tension in the straps when you pull it down past the mid point of your posterior. This is normal and the bibs have been designed for that.
  4. Bend your knees more while pulling down the bibs even more at the rear.
  5. You should now be able to sit or squat comfortably for a nature break with the rear of the bibs out of the way.

Excellent drop tail bibs!

I bought these a few weeks ago and have to say that from the enquiries before the purchase to the delivery the service from Yuva (the owner) has been first class. He helped me choose the correct size and answered all my questions (even the silly ones) quickly and courteously.
They fit well, look great (as good as they can on a 75 year old relatively fit woman) and are very comfortable on a ride.
The drop tail is well designed and does what it's designed to do!
I do recommend purchasing from RedWhite, from my own very satisfactory experience.

Best bibs

I’ve ordered my 2nd pair of women’s bibs, this time with the drop tail. I was stoked when Red White came up with this as when bikepacking and touring using a toilet is always a performance with normal bibs but these solve the issue and are as comfortable as always. My go to bibs. Just wish they had an extra couple of inches on the leg length as I have long legs, but hey you can’t get everything. Well done RW.

Ladies drop-tail bib shorts

I bought this for my wife because she has always struggled with comfort when cycling. She has purchased many different brands. She has now worn these for a number of various distances are and has had no problem with them at all. She’s very impressed with the drop-tail.

Very happy with the size recommendation too.

I was waiting to see how she on with them before I decided whether or not I would buy a pair of men’s shorts for myself. Based on her recommendation, Iit looks like I’m going to buy some.

Super comfy bibs and love the functionality of pee break friendly design!

I've been using Redwhite Bibs now for my longer rides and am very happy with them. Really comfortable and I find I'm not shifting in the saddle trying to get myself comfortable on those long rides. I live near the high mountains so my rides are often involving a lot of sustained seated climbs (up to 2hrs at a time) so being able to do these without any saddle discomfort is a must. The pee-break friendly design is great. I find the Y shaped central strap on the front to be comfortable regardless of whether my sports bra is a crop top style of not. It's also very easy to move the back straps apart (just hook your thubs in and seperate the straps, then pull it down over your behind) so nature breaks are easy and all in all it's a great functional design. I prefer this style than other brands which use a clip as it means I don't need to search around the back to try and clip things together!

I was in these bib shorts for a very long day spectating at the Tour de France on the Col du Tourmalet and they held up great for both the ride and spectating as well! I also used the conventional drop tail bib shorts (non 10 yr anniversary edition) to spectate the mountain stage two days before this one with the same great results.

Brought for the long distance adventure of Lands End to John O'Groats in September

Brought for the long distance adventure of Lands End to John O'Groats in September. So far so good on longer training rides and chamois women specific. The drop tail could be very useful in the wilds of Scotland!!!!
Fit excellent. Hope the chamois retains its firmness. Wash easily and dry quickly, both hand and machine washed as per instructions.

Drop tail bib shorts

I ordered these on line following a recommendation. I used the opportunity for size advice, which was v quick. (I’m 5’3” and 9 stone, and I chose the medium.). The delivery was efficient and on time. These shorts are the most comfortable I have had and having used them multiple times including a 90 mile ride on a v hot day, I have had no chafing or rubbing. The drop tail is simple and efficient. The bib has a Y shaped front stretchy panel which splits around chest level into 2 shoulder straps that travel down your back to meet the rear of the shorts. These rear shoulder straps are firm, but stretchy, so when you need to you can pop yr thumbs around the back of yr shorts to pull them down. I followed the instructions at home before my first ride, and it’s simple to use. When you’re finished, the stretchy rear straps bring the rear of the shorts back where into place. I will be ordering some winter tights with the same feature. Not cheap, but definitely great quality. Recommended.

I love these shorts!

I used to wear Rapha classic shorts, but they changed the padding and I found the updated design extremely bulky and uncomfortable. My husband wanted me to try the RedWhite drop tail bib shorts, but I was hesitant because my previous experience with bib shorts was that they were hot in the summer and difficult to deal with in bathroom breaks.
The RedWhite drop tail bib shorts are extremely comfortable in the padding, light weight on the straps, and easy to use for bathroom breaks. I'm so glad I switched to these shorts and have already purchased two additional pair!
