Product Reviews

Awesome !  RichardKovacic, PARALOWIE
I was a bit hesitant at first to look like a wrestler! However seen this on special and was sick of my Lycra shorts moving around so much so I tempted fate.

Turns out bibs are amazing as is this one!
Good value for money , good sizing and great price even when not on special!

Value-for-money  DonaldKuok, CANNING VALE
Just received it 5 days after placing the order. Very high quality product. I got the medium size and it fit nicely for my size, 170cm tall and 63kg.

Route 7 sport bib shorts  LenHall, Henley Brook
Good value for the price (special) if you can't afford the really good stuff.
I weigh 85kg and I am 182cm tall and so I chose the Large size and they fit quite well even though my legs are filling out the bottom of the legs they are quite comfortable.
Should have got 2 pairs.

Excellent value  MalcolmGraham, Papatoetoe
Had my first ride in these yesterday, overall they're great. I wasn't sure on sizing so decided to stick with trusty ol' medium and they fit great (6'1, 80kg, long torso). Most of the time I was riding I couldn't tell I had straps over my shoulders.

My one complaint is the chamois. I ride on my aero bars most of the time, so the chamois being a bit short at the back isn't an issue, but it's just a bit wider at the front than ideal. It should remain the same width as it is at the narrowest point (like the "Team Bib Shorts" do, to match the shape of the saddle!), but for some reason it widens at the front which is just a bit annoying when riding. Not a big issue, but it makes these a 4 star rather than 5 star.

Great product for the price  CarlRolfe-Vyson, Browns Bay
I bought two pairs on special. For the price they are very good when compared to the more expensive bibs I own. I like how they are a few cms longer in the leg. The front is cut to the sternum, which is too high when in the riding position - so that's where they lose the star.

Chamois stitching harsh  ChrisMcCloud, ESSENDON
Have had these for quite some time now and just can't get used to the stitching on the chamois. Perhaps a little thin. Used only on short runs or as a back up. Sizing is Aust so no issues there. Little thin on the Lycra side but doesn't reveal anything.

Great Buy  markbailey, LISMORE
Bought these on special and now wish I had bought two pair. The sizing is good and when riding they fit where they should and don't feel at all uncomfortable. Will buy another pair when on sale.

good bibs for the price  RickDay-Mesure, Hamilton
Just got back into cycling after about 26 years and these are certainly good for the price. My old shorts had genuine chamois in and did come a bit higher than these at the back but also cost me $100 26 years ago!!! Bought the medium and they fit reasonably well. The T7 sizing chart seems to be reasonably accurate.

So happy with them I bought a second pair the following week. Would recommend for the price.

Also arrived within 2 days... good work T7 (my first purchase).

Bibs are great  ShaunHowarth, Hamilton East
This is my second pair of bib shorts. I love them, the only slight problem with these Route7 ones is the chamois is a little too forward, and doesn't cover the butt too much.

Nice product!  BruceHinson, Thames
Just done a few rides with these and they seem like a good product. The chamois only seems to come up just enough at the rear, but overall are pretty good. Especially for the price!

Route 7 sports bib shorts  BryanMcMurray, Upper Hutt
Very good fit and quality.

Game winner  JacobMarx, Addington
Yeah they are a pain if you have to pee and yeah they do put the boys on display a little too much (apologies to the ladies at work), but in doing so they are keep out of harms way on those long rides. Don't pass these up on special they are fantastic, super comfy and the bib part gives you a touch more coverage on the cold Canterbury Mornings.

Bib Shorts  andrewjohnston, parkdale
Great value bibshorts. Have found them comfortable on 100km+ rides. Large size is an easy fit for me (167cm 78kg), may have been able to squeeze into a med.

Comfort for riding  TomGalbraith, MOREE
The bib straps are nice and wide so they are comfortable on long rides. I got an extra size on what I normally wear and they fit great.

What do you expect?  NickPayne, Harkaway
Got these on special as a backup pair. Lycra is very thin and chamois is thin but for the price, I can't complain at all! For short rides they'll work just fine.
I'd say sizing is a little big - I'm a large in Netti but think I'd be Medium in these (not that I'd want them too tight with the lycra being so thin).

ROUTE 7 Sport Bib Shorts  dughoskins, PYMBLE
Route 7 shorts seem to have a wider chamois pad which provides good comfort. Braces could have been made of lightweight mesh to improve temperature. Good set of B+B.

Great Value  MattPower, Hurstbridge
These bib shorts are cheap, comfortable and great quality. Coolmax chamois and nice subtle design they can't be beaten.

One of the best T7 deals yet  JonathanDodd, Lynmore
I wouldn't pay the 'normal' $89 T7 price for these, but at the Special price I got them for these are very very good. Have had some other super-cheap specials from T7 before and sometimes the gear really does feel cheap - but I'd say these are excellent for the price, and will let me save my really good bibshorts for the longer rides.

Bib Shorts  RichardCole, Palmerston North
Comfy fit, I like the wide shoulder straps. Padding thicker and certainly wider than my other set, and doesn't seem to go as high as the back. But have used on 60km ride with no issues. Overall pretty happy. Cheers

Good Bibs  SteveHoldsworth, STEPNEY
If you're into bib shorts and you got these on special you're well and truly ahead. I am 71kg and 178cm tall I got medium and they are a perfect fit.. A good thick chamois, well made and comfortable, highly recommended !!

Well made but narrow chamois  ShaunKindleysides, WALLSEND
Overall not bad for the price. Well made but using low-end materials. You can't have it all at the low price these sell for.

The chamois is quite narrow at the front and I find the seams dig in a little.

Thin lycra compared to more expensive shorts, but it's all about the trade-off isn't it - if you don't want to pay top dollar, I'm sure these will serve recreational riders or short-distance commuters well.

I won't be doing any long rides with these but for my daily commute (11km each way) they're just fine.

Look Out Netti  CarlQuested, BOWEN HILLS
Having only been riding for 6 months, my Netti shorts have seen some wear, but the chamois in this kicks their back side. The fit is good and the stitch quality is excellent. For the price you definitely can't go wrong!

Route 7 Bib Shorts  MatthewFarmer, EIGHT MILE PLAINS
Quality looks to be ok.
I am 178cm and 72kg and purchased the large. These are too big, would go for the medium next time.
