Very comfy  ShaunProbert, Launceston
Some of the best bibs I have encountered very soft chamois with the extension pieces for protection of your upper tighs - good fit for 178 cm 79 kg guys.

Go up a size  ChrisD, Adelaide
I bought a M per sizing chart. Next time I will go up a size. Can't complain about the quality for the price paid. Would be really nice if the straps were made of mesh type fabric.

Again, check the sizing.  MattP, GLEN WAVERLEY
I have to agree with some people here, be wary with the sizing chart. I am 177cm and 80kg, the large fits fine around the leg, however the shoulder straps could afford to be a tiny bit longer. Apart from this, they are really comfy, with a nice chamois. Look great too!

Beware, the die runs  RobD, UPPER STURT
These bibs ended up staining my white seat - the black die runs badly with even mild dampnes - should carry a warning to wash multiple times before use. Suspect its the black section around the chamois. Fit is good.

Route 7 pro bib shorts  AlastairShum, North Dunedin
Great bib shorts looks and feels good. The only down side like a few of the other comments the black dye comes off and now my white seat is black!

colour runs  MichelHermence, WILLIAMSTOWN
Main point with these bib's is that the colour runs after several washes.

I ended up with blue thighs even after several washes.

The are a good buy on special for shorter riders and offer good comfort and padding.

I went up a size than normal after other comments and find they are still tight on my legs.

Great, but tight on the legs  RickHunt, PORT MELBOURNE
I agree with all the other comments here that these are a great pair of bib shorts, but as has been detailed below the leg openings are a bit on the tight side.

Sizing???  GilesArgent, Perth
Purchased XL based on other users feedback. Well the size isn't all that much bigger. Chamois feels good and well padded, yet to try on the bike.

Must say though that Torpedo7 clothing sizing is extremely hard to pick either on the sizing charts or other customers feedback.

Who do you believe the sizing chart or the users?

Great Value, Quality Feel  HiltonGock, FITZROY
At 178cm and 77Kg, the large size fits very well. Chamois is generously sized and very comfortable. The bib shorts have a quality feel about them comparable to other brands costing two or three times as much. I bought mine during a weekly sale and whould have bought several of them if I knew they were this good.

better than expected  PhilipJohnson, KATHERINE
This is the first time I have bought bib shorts and comparing the on special price against what else is available I expected lower quality. The fit is small so go a size larger. The material quality & stitching is good for the price and breaths than expected in the high temp (38c) and humidity (90%)of an NT buildup. Value for money. Good work T7

comfy  RaymondCohen, Research
I have been a rider for many years and these are the first bib shorts I have purchased. They are very comfortable and appear to be of high quality.

I washed them once before my first ride but still ended up dye stains on my legs afterwards -- maybe washing them twice is a good idea.

I am 178cm, 74kg male who bought the Large size which fits fine around the waist and shoulders. My only concern is to prevent the rubbing of my nipples...

Great Value  MB, Perth
A great pair of knicks for training - comfortable chamois and a good fit. At 188cms, I bought XL and was very happy with the size. Not sure I'd go smaller, or else the tension might be too much on my shoulders.

It's all good as long as you have skinny legs!  DavidMeikle, Wollongong
I agree with the comments from the others - the chamois is comfortable, it's well made, nice cut, etc but its tight in the legs. Mine are XL and seem to fit well all over except the legs...figure they'll loosen up a bit with time.

Thumbs up!!  PaulGuarrera, MOUNT GRAVATT EAST
Bought these on special to try out... After a week of commuting, I am a huge fan.

Great, comfy chamois (if you prefer thin/minimalist chamois, these are NOT for you). Also note the previous sizing comments - they size these very small!! I am 175cm tall, and 85kg, and the XL I bought fits well (on the 'tight' side). To compare, I am an L in the NZO knicks I have previously boght from Torpedo7.....

To sum up - outstanding value bibs, even at the 'normal' price. Worth a try...
