Voted "Best Cycling Bib Short" by Women's Health
The Women's PRO Bib Shorts are engineered for riders who want top-level performance, fit, and comfort over long road miles. Crafted from luxurious Italian PRO Transfer fabric, these women's cycling bib shorts deliver smooth, high-compression support that moves effortlessly with your body, reducing fatigue on your most challenging rides.

USE SIMPLE DETERGENTS WITH NO ADDITIVES Never use detergents with fabric softeners, perfumes or any additive type product. The general rule of thumb is the simpler the better. Many detergents with additives leave "surfactants" behind on a fabric's fibers that inhibit the technical performance. Typically the best detergents to use will have "Clear" or "Free" in their names. Don't pour the detergent directly onto the clothing, put it in the washer first, when you start the water. If something is not functionally working, but is not dirty, try rinsing it twice in warm to hot water. This will help get rid of the harmful surfactants. READ THE CONTENT CARE LABEL: On the inside of your garment, or on the hangcard, there are instructions for the care of that individual piece. On garments this will be on a side seam or back seam label. Follow those directions. On finer fabrics, use a "Gentle" cycle. Close all zippers, attach "hook and loop" closures on gloves YOU CAN USE THE DRYER, CAREFULLY: If you use a dryer be sure to use a lower / warm heat setting (Do NOT use a commercial dryer or a "Hot" setting). This will often restore the fabric and help the water and wind repellent qualities. If in doubt, hang the clothing to dry.
FAQs
The Women's PRO Bib Shorts are premium women's road cycling bib shorts built for long miles, hard efforts, and riders who want a locked-in fit with top-tier chamois support.
- Who are the Women's PRO Bib Shorts built for?
Road riders who spend long hours in the saddle: training rides, fast group rides, fondos, and endurance days. Newer riders notice the step up in comfort straight away; experienced riders notice the compression, the chamois, and how little the bib moves. - What chamois do the Women's PRO Bib Shorts use?
The triple-density PRO Levitate™ chamois, the top tier of our Levitate™ platform. Its suspension core reduces pressure points and road vibration, which is what makes it the pad for high-mileage days. The Chamois Guide compares every tier. - Are these good women's cycling bib shorts for long rides?
Yes. Chamois comfort, a stable fit, and compression matter most over long distances, and those are what these are built around. The bib upper holds everything in place without a waistband, so nothing shifts or digs in hour after hour. - How does the drop-tail design work?
The back of the bib pulls down for nature breaks without taking off your jersey or jacket, then returns to position when you ride. On long rides and remote stops, that removes the biggest hassle of wearing bibs. - How long is the inseam?
8.5 inches, with laser-cut leg openings and printed silicone grippers that hold without pinching. - How do they compare to the Women's PRO Shorts and Women's Attack Bib Shorts?
The Women's PRO Shorts use the same chamois and fabric in a waist short, for riders who prefer no straps. The Women's Attack Bib Shorts are the everyday performance option for regular training. The PRO Bib Shorts are the most secure and supportive of the three. - What should I wear with the Women's PRO Bib Shorts?
Pair them with the Women's PRO Jersey for a full road kit, or the Women's PRO Mesh Jersey on hot days. For changing conditions, add the Women's PRO Barrier Vest or Women's PRO Barrier Jacket.

Reviews
Great Fit - Smaller Cyclist
"After an extensive "bib crawl" of testing bibs for women at several different cycling stores, these are the best for me. The quality is sound, the sizing fits me well, and so far - they are performing well. I am 5 feet tall, 130 lbs. , athletic build. I hope that they maintain their shape for the years to come."
Fabulous!
"I am not a skinny minnie so trying on bike shorts has never been a great experience. I am 5’8” and weigh 175. I was looking for a good pair of shorts to use on a multi-day ride. I tried on many pairs of XL shorts and bibs, many of which I could not even get up and over my hips, which honestly are just normal size. The clerk at the bike store handed me these and I fell in love with them. Not only did they go on easily with lots of stretch, but they don’t ride or move once in place. The bib is comfortable and doesn’t cut in anywhere. Very flattering and sooooo comfortable. I immediately came home and bought another pair online. If you are discouraged with trying to find the right pair of bib shorts, try these!"
Love the Pro Bibs but we NEED more colors
"I'm a huge fan of the Pro bibs due to the fit, chamois and fabric but the choice of colors is severally lacking and pushing me towards other brands. We need more colors like balsam, twightlight, etc. Pretty please make these in other colors!"
Amazing Quality
"This bib is not only comfortable but also stays in place. The material is definitely a lux and high quality fabric. I also love the drop tail feature making it easier to use the bathroom without having to take down the straps."
superb comfort and fit
"always a great fit! especially for long distance comfort"
Poor service
"I called multiple times and nobody ever got back to me. Poor customer service. I wanted a large and received an X-Large and nobody did anything for me or tried to help me"
Very comfortable
"My first bib after using mountain biking shorts. I was concerned that it would be over padded and that it would be difficult to use the restroom. Both concerns were swept away. These are my most comfortable riding shorts now!"
Great bibs!
"I love these bigs -- clean fit, lazer cut is smooth and feel great!"
Unusually uncomfortable bib
"I have two pair of pearl Izumi shorts that are about 4 years old and have never had an issue with them. I’m not sure if it was a defaulted pair, but I wore these pro bibs a week ago on a 35 mile ride. I suffered (continuously shifting shorts) basically the entire ride because the chamois was very uncomfortable. It was too thick and felt uneven in the vaginal area. In addition to, the lower back area is not aesthetically appealing. Most women have a few curves so the material should contour a woman’s shape."
Pricey but worth it
"Love these shorts. This is my 4th pair and they are better by far than rapha or castelli. The fabric is butter smooth and the right amount of compression. Straps are so comfortable you forget you’re wearing bibs"
