2018 Women's SL Pro Bib Shorts

These shorts work well. The magnetic closure is nice, although I sometimes have to work on it a few seconds to get it open since it is in back. The fit nicely and have good padding.

Love them. Fit great. Magnetic clip in back perfect.

Since I found these women specific bibs I now LOVE bibs! So much more comfortable than a banded waist and super attractive! After I bought the first pair I came back and ordered every pair in my size that was on sale and even paid full price for the simple black (which is my usual preference). They're just too comfortable AND practical not to have as many as you can afford! Spoke with a local bike shop owner/friend and she said the exact same thing about these bibs. They seem universal in their appeal - fantastic product!

Super comfortable

Fantastic all day racing bibs! Magnetic clasp is quick and easy to use.

Fit was perfect

Got these for my wife. They fit great , they look good and comfort is there too.

The fit is very comfortable and the clip makes bathroom stops very easy. But the quality isn't that good, it only last one season. Stitching started to fall apart and fray. Padding isn't thick enough so it's good for races or shorter rides. But I would still buy a pair on sale.

Recently I purchased the pink stripe ones when they were on sale. I loved them so much that I bought the full black. Sadly, they did not live up to expectations. The black middle portion of the shorts, the most important part, in my opinion, seems thinner than on the other pair I purchased. They do NOT pass the squat test. They're not completely see-through, but enough to make me hesitate to wear them outdoors, in full sunlight. I noted the straps seem made of a different fabric, a cheaper looking fabric as my hubby said. The waistband is also different whereby it comes to a crossover 'v' in the front. These differences didn't bother me, just making them known. As with the other pair, they're a teensy bit big in the waist on me. They are just as comfortable as the other pair I have with the chamois, which is the same blue seat pattern structure.

The straps dig into my armpits and after a few miles, they're very uncomfortable and painful. The chamois is okay. I guess I'll just cut off the straps. I'm 5'2"", 115lbs and purchased size S.

Finally a smart pair of bibs for women! I rode in them today and am so pleased I'm ordering every pair they offer on sale and the plain black at full price. They fit beautifully, stay put like a champ and the chamois is fantastic; much better than I expected for the price!

I have no complaints about these bibs. I got them took them out for a couple hour ride and they felt great, great material and great fit I love the silicone around the bottom cuff of the thighs. This keeps the shorts where they should be. I'm 5'7"" and 127 pounds the small fits great. I haven't tried the magnet clip in the back but excited to not have to take off my jersey when nature calls.

Because I'm cheap and I've never tried Specialized gear before, I got the hot pink/black shorts when they were on sale. I will be happily buying another pair at full price in plain black so I can wear them proudly outdoors. They are comfortable, even though they're a teensy bit big, especially in the waist - I'm in between a medium and a large, size 10-ish and 5'7"". I'm stoked about the magnet clasp but hopefully, I don't have as much trouble as a rider did during Omloop this weekend with her clasp. I'm sure it wasn't Specialized though. I was surprised to see the chamois pad looked like the saddle I have, and even more surprised I didn't need a full dollop of cream against friction. I should have known I would love the shorts since I love my silver Specialized road shoes.

Very comfortable and the snap is a great help.

I love these, especially for the price if you can snag a design that is on sale, I'll never understand why all bibs don't come with this snap feature! Sizing is big, I'm an XL in Castelli and a M in these.

I can breathe! The fit and easy in and out make these bibs my standard go to kit for any condition. I love the way they wash and wear and look cool besides. I want more of these in my arsenal.

We know bibs are more comfortable because they don't have a waistband, but for women, they never worked. Having to strip to pee is just not worth it. For 30 years, I've always used shorts because of that limitation. But, with these bibs from Specialized, they have fixed the problem with the drop seat.. The connection is a magnet, so its easy to use. Because of the design, the upper strap never gets much further up then bra strap area, so reaching behind you to reconnect is a snap. We never again are left with only shorts for women. The fit is great for me as well, I took a medium, I""m 5 '6"" and 135 lbs. Thanks to Specialized!

I will never wear another pair of bibs again. The comfort and fit are amazing but what stands out for me is the FUNCTION... I am able to suit up and go for a ride, hydrate like i should - without worrying about how to get everything off to go to the bathroom. These bibs are so easy to unclip, drop down, do your business, and get redressed!!! Nothing else compares!!!

These were highly recommended by a bike fitter, so against my better judgement I ordered them online. Big mistake! The pad is sewn so far back that it sits half way up my rear end and leaves NO padding under my sit bones at all! I was in horrible pain after 10 miles! On top of that, the sizing is crazy - apparently these are made for people who are short and wide, which isn't me. I'm not super skinney but I'm 5'8"" 140lbs. The size chart says I need an extra small for my hips, a medium for my waste, and a large or extra large for my height. Huh? So I ordered a small and they're not snug at all - sliding all over on me. Perhaps an extra small would have been better - except any shorter and I wouldn't be able to get the straps over my shoulders. Anyhow, if you're a tall small, fuggitaboutit! The little clip in back is great for getting them off mid-ride, but you have to be a contortionist to get the things reattached again unless you can reach your hand behind you all the way up to your neck to grab the loose end. That might be a sizing issue too - since I'm sure the larger sizes have longer straps so it's not so hard to reach that loose end. So I just spent 2 hours ripping the pad out and I'm going to try to move it 2 inches forward and sew it back in to try to salvage these things. But honestly, for this sort of money, I expected better. My advice is don't waste your time or money especially if you're in the tall slim category.

These are perfect. I don't even know I'm wearing a chamois, and bathroom breaks on long rides are super fast which is what I was looking for. I ordered a size small, and should have ordered and extra small (I'm 5'7 and 120 lbs), but they're not too baggy or anything, just not snug.

I purchased these bib shorts at the recommendation of a friend. I can't even begin to describe how satisfied I am with these bib shorts. I rode a 7-day, 550-mile ride and not a single saddle sore; and using very little chamois cream or bag balm. They look great and I've had many compliments on them. The Chamois is the best I've had in a very long time. Thank you for this great product!!

Great for all day riding - leg bands stay in place but don't pinch or ""sausage"" They breathe well and stay cool in the sun. Run slightly large. I wear a size smaller than I do in other brands - in these I wear a small at 5'4"" / 135 lbs.

Overall, these bibs are comfy and nice. Padding to me isn't too bulky nor too thin. I've done small rides and large rides on these. Leg bands are great. Biggest downfall is the clip in the back. I was drawn to these bibs because of the clip in the back for easy access that I failed to think where the clip would sit on my spine. Sometimes I bike with a bag and sometimes I don't and unfortunately I didn't think about how that clip would be bothersome with a backpack on. However, I did just ride with the clip undone and the bibs were still good to wear. Just stinks because I hate when things aren't multi-functional.
