Best bib shorts

You can tell these are quality bib shorts when you put them on. But more important than that, they are comfortable. Like actually comfortable. I have done long tours in these, along with my Atticus jersey, and it feels like you’re wearing nothing. I’ve had shorts from Rapha and Specialized, but these are the ones I reach for on every occasion. Only downside is how expensive they are.

It’s all about first impressions and these shorts are super comfy

It’s all about first impressions and these shorts are super comfy. Now I’ve only done one ride around 60 mile and they were great. Hopefully I will be saying the same after a dozen pedals…

Comfortable

After having bought cheaper bib shorts which were both uncomfortable and caused some horrible chaffing to the undercarriage earlier in the year, I was attracted to Attacus's 100 day comfort guarantee. I've worn them twice so far, once on a 50 mile sportive on one of the hottest days of the Scottish summer and once on a sweaty 40 mile e-bike ride over dusty rutted African roads - and am very happy with their comfort levels. I have notice though that some of the Attacus name on the leg has started to peel off and there is some balling starting on the cuff of the left leg (a mystery as to what it might be rubbing against). I'll be interested to find out what the longevity is for these shorts.

I made a boo boo and ordered the wrong size

I made a boo boo and ordered the wrong size, but exchanged for a smaller size no problem. Great service. And the bibs are a great fit and really comfortable. Done a couple of 65k rides and all good. Gonna order another pair.

The most comfiest bib shorts on the market.

The comfort is outstanding.
I only wish that they would move away from the transfer logo.

First Attacus Bibs

Having seen the Attacus range a few times before and having a jersey they did for the Garmin ride out I thought I’d try the bibs too,having worn them a few times so far I’m not disappointed and they fit like a treat,the cut is good and there is no movement on the bottom of the legs like others,straps are firm too and don’t look or feel like they will stretch in time like previous bibs I’ve had.
Overall I’ll be back for more soon,don’t be put off by the price thinking they are cheap rubbish(compared to others) as the quality is there to see.

Great bib shorts!

I bought these and then took them on a 6 day tour of the Netherlands and Germany, wearing them everyday (washed every night of course!) over 350 miles found them to be very comfortable, great quality and they fit me perfectly. Very happy with my purchase.

The best!

First ride out today and wow! These are amazingly comfortable on long rides. My other shorts are top of the range Pearl Izumi and Endura pro sl, both of those shorts are really comfortable on long rides but Attacus are in another league! Size wise I’m 36.5” waist, 6ft, the xl is a perfect fit.

Post ride bliss

By far the most comfortable set of bib shorts I’ve used to date. I’ve tried a range of different brands over the last few years and have had a degree disappointment. Nothing could be further from the experience here. All the way from sorting out problems with the order to the end of the first big ride with the kit up Ventoux it’s been fantastic.

Men's Black Foundation Bib Shorts

I have quite a few Bibs and this was my first pair of Attacus, they come up very high on my torso but this is only compared to the other brands I wear. These Bibs have been very comfortable although they almost feel loose off the bike. I have really enjoyed them and the chamois is one of the most comfortable I've worn. Great product, the value per dollar is unmatched, solid everyday Bibs.

Great product

The shorts are very comfortable, the fabric is pleasant on the skin and does not compress too much.

Great comfort

Bought these bibs when I got back into cycling after a couple years' hiatus. The moment I put them on and sat on the bike, I realised these are the shorts I was always looking for! Safe to say I will be buying the navy ones next as well!

Only shorts I wear

I've been using the foundation/adventure bib shorts for years now, never had an issue with comfort even on 200km+ rides. I ride 6 days a week and these shorts last for ever, couldn't recommend enough!!

I only buy these!

I bought my first pair of Attacus bibs in around 2016, and have never looked back. 8 years on I still only buy these although in their various incarnations - Foundation, Adventure, Wonter tights etc. Super comfy, great quality, and well priced

The Best

Recently ordered my third and fourth pairs of these shorts, about to come back for the fifth. Most comfortable shorts I've found for my frame, ~90kg 6ft (down from 150kg so still a lot of spare skin to pack in which most cycling gear doesn't accomodate!!)

Best short I own!

I am not your typical cyclist size (6'4" and north of 100kgs) so finding kit has been a challenge. I've tried Le Col, Endura and Castelli all with limited success.These bib shorts just work. They aren't too tight on the legs, but stay on place. The shoulder straps feel secure without cutting into me and the pad is the best I've had. I'd previously done 5hr+ cycles and was always aware of the pad about 3-4hrs in. Did a week of 7+hr cycle and never noticed the pad, no rubbing, no discomfort, no having to shuffle about to get it in the right place. It just did it's job of keeping my bum comfy..am buying another couple of pairs as they are worth the investment!

The Death of Chamois Cream

I used to wear chamois cream but for 6 years now I've been using the Attacus bib-shorts and I haven't needed to bother. Unquestionably the most comfortable and reliable pad in any shorts that I have ever worn. I have about 7-8 pairs of these and other Attacus shorts and they last pretty much forever without losing their quality performance. Can't recommend these enough.

My Go-To Shorts

Attacus bib shorts are 100% my go-to, with both blue and black on rotation. Really comfortable, a great mix of supportive and breathable, and a simple clean design.

Best Bibs on the market

By far the best value and most comfortable bibs I have worn. 3 pairs in the rotation + winter tights.
They beat out other tops brands with ease

Quality bib shorts

These are literally the comfiest bib shorts I have and the preferred option for the long weekend rides, top engineering or just luck, highly recommended
