Pee time: 31.25 seconds
These we one of my least favourite pair of bib shorts in the bunch. First up, I should mention they size up pretty small. I wore a size small and am a UK 10. However I was forced to endure the dreaded sausage leg, and even worse that that – muffin top. Yes I know you are wondering how I had muffin top with a pair of bib shorts. Unfortunately these shorts are cut quite low at the back, meaning the elasticated part sits in a really unflattering place.
However I must point out that these shorts do feature a really nice chamois and perhaps for a smaller frame (I am 5’9″) they may sit a little better.
In order to combat the loo break, a clip has been placed at the rear of the short that sits on your lower back. When riding, you really don’t notice it at all.
Verdict: The straps feel a little restrictive around the neck but these shorts are very easy to pop on and off. Simply throw them over your head and let the strap drop down before clipping it back into place. You just need to be a little bit careful about taking a second or two to ensure the straps are untangled before you do so.
