🚴 Castelli Cycling Entrata Bibshort Review: Perfect Road and Gravel Biking Attire! Review

Bought large size according to size chart. The straps are so short I can't put them on my shoulders! Very disappointed, I was looking forward to my first pair of Castelli bibs and now they should be back.

I found the product to be very snug and small for my size. All my other bib shorts are L. I am sending these back and I could order XL. The inner thighs did not look smooth. There is one view that looked a little plump to me.

Suede padding is of good density, but the edges of the padding are not smooth where they blend into Lycra. There are jagged edges and after 50 miles I have more chafing than I should considering I've used DZnutz.

Compared to dozens of other bibs I own, these are *very low* in the front. When you wear them, the waist area is low enough that if you wear any base layers, the bottom part doesn't even reach the waist. Because of this "feature"/flaw in design, they feel less comfortable than regular bibs. They're otherwise comfortable, but the low front neckline makes them both comfortable and odd.

I am 5'6" and 190 lbs. My physique is average, I have a small belly. It's been 2 months already. The suede is comfortable and compared to my $35 overalls is the difference between day and night. I typically ride 40 miles and it stays comfortable throughout the trip. It's expensive but you get what you pay for.
