Women's Signature Climber's Bib Shorts

These shorts are really comfortable in hot weather and they fit well (5'4'' 124 lb size S). It seems that Isadore shorts tend to be a bit longer than shorts from other brands, so I'm getting two sets of tan lines, but that's fine. Also, I like the chamoise; I usually get a bit of chafing without chamoise cream after rides over 70 miles, but when I wore this pair for an 80 mile ride, without chamoise cream, I didn't get any chafing. I'll see how it goes next time.

After reading a bunch of positive reviews about this bib, I thought is was my turn to try. And i am not disappointed. After to "test turns" in Denmark (2 x 5 hours, 3.000hm total), without any complains, I tried them in Harzen Germany (unfortunately not the Alps due to the corona-problems, and just 1 1/2 day), in two long Mountains. Sonnenberg 21 km and Brocken 14.5 km, plus the hilly road between theese two peaks. Just 78 km, but 1625 hm. Totally sun, 24-26 degrees. Overall the fit is perfect, it´s like the bib is glued to the body. And when you are out af the saddle ? They still sit really good after several "stand-ups". I´m small and lightweight and have to stand up often, and it´s very little, the bib moves, and just sometimes. I dont think it´s possible to avoid the bib "moving around" just a little bit (i own just two other pair, around 98% motionless bibs (from Assos) and the climbers bib is quite as good. This is a very important issue for me. The back is a bit varm, and the front is a bit high, but if that, what it takes to get that perfect fit, it´s fine for me. And the pad (the most important issue at all in my opinion) ? The pad is among the best, i´ve tried. Assos is my favorite, but the climbers matches them again full-out. Climbers pad is a bit thinner, but not to thin, and doing their job perfectly the hole day. In that heat, I sweat a lot, but didn´t have any problems with the pad do to Moisture. And as Assos have been my favorit for 30 years, I can't praise the climbers anymore. The last 1/2 day was just a short trip 31 km, but still 640 hm, and didn´t feel anything in "my behind" from the day before, thanks to the climbers. Finally I can say, that it´s easy to get excited about the climbers bib, and they will always have a big rank in my bike wardrobe.

I am a former rapha customer. I say former because Isadore is now my go to company for bikewear. These garments are extremely well made. I just took the climbers bibs out for 62 miles yesterday and the only reason i am giving 4 stars is because they run a bit on the large size. I like them so much that i am going to re-order one size down. These bibs kept me mostly comfortable , but because they were a bit big, i got a bit antsy in the saddle around mile 45.

The bib-shorts are very well designed: The fit is perfect, the chamois very comfortable. The material is very soft and feels like you don't wear anything at all. The best fact is that they are made locally in Central Europe. Top notch!
