*This Cargo Bibshort sizing runs tighter in the hips & glutes than The BIB (Men's) because of the 4 pockets. Please check the sizing chart's glute circumference before making a purchase.
**Sizing Note : If you are a short and heavy rider, look for the shorter inseam size option. If you're tall & lean, look for the longer inseam size option. If ever in doubt, use the Sizing Helpdesk for a personalised size recommendation.
***Please note that the critical dimension for sizing is the glute circumference. Weight is a loose proxy for this. Naturally, a taller person will weigh more, hence the expanded weight range for Longer Inseam bibs. Do not pick a size based solely on weight and pay attention to the glute circumference.
The Cargo Bib Short (Men's) with Pockets is based on our best-selling long-distance bibshort - The BIB (Men's). It is designed to help you ride further than ever before. 4 large pockets allow you to store large quantities of nutrition, inner tubes, tool kits, spare clothing and more. These pockets are made from a tough & stretchy nylon fabric that is snag-resistant.
A 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
- Atlas Mountain Race
What can these pockets carry? :
The model in these photos is 6 foot 1 inch, 40" Hip & Glute circumference, weighs 182 lbs. He is wearing a size XL (Regular) and is carrying the following items, with room for more
- Samsung Galaxy S9+ phone & 1 Gel with room for 2 more (thigh pocket)
- 3 cereal bars, with room for 1 more (thigh pocket)
- Banana & 2 inner tube (lower rear pocket)
- Pump, Tyre Levers & 1 inner tube (upper rear pocket)
Available in 3 Inseam Lengths:
This bibshort is available in 2 inseam lengths - Regular, 2" Shorter Inseam & 2" Longer Inseam. The 2" Shorter inseam version is a Regular Length with 2" taken off the legs. The 2" Longer inseam version is a Regular Length with 2" added to the legs.
For example : A 180 lbs (81kg) rider who is 5 foot 6" with a 41 inch glute circumference would need a size 2XL. However, the size 2XL (Regular) will be too long for him. He will need the size 2XL (2" Shorter Inseam) for his 5 foot 6" height. On the other end of the spectrum, a rider who is 155 lbs and 6 foot 3 inch tall with a 35.5 inch glute. This rider will find a M (Regular) too short in the legs and will need M (+2" Longer Inseam).
Note for Returning Customers :
This bib short has been designed to retain the same fit, feel and performance as the bibshorts you've been purchasing for years from RedWhite. The only major change is the new Silicone Macro-Dot Gripper (see photos). This gripper was chosen for 2 reasons :
-
It is more durable and doesn't overstretch with use. It stays grippy longer than the gripper used in our older bibshorts.
-
It grips knee and leg warmers & coolers better. You can easily slip this gripper over the ends of your knee / leg coverings and have it hold those coverings better than the old grippers.
Keen eyed customers would notice the new rubber logo stitched on left thigh. This rubber logo has been ride-tested extensively. You won't notice it while riding. It is also washing-machine friendly and durable. Please note to only wash your bibshort in a cold wash cycle and never use a dryer-machine. Heat damages lycra and rubber.
