The Men's PI/Red Bib Shorts redefine comfort under pressure. Built from an ultra-light nylon fabric that delivers targeted compression, it promotes circulation and reduces fatigue through long, hot efforts. In-R-Cool® infrared technology with coldblack® reduces heat absorption from sunlight while providing reliable UV protection, keeping your body cooler when the pace or the temperature rises. Inside, the dual-density ELITE Levitate 3D chamois minimizes skin abrasion and sit-bone discomfort while maintaining flexibility for sustained comfort in the saddle. Italian lightweight mesh through the back panel and bib upper maximizes airflow, and the raw-edge leg bands with silicone grippers keep everything securely in place without pinching. With no inseam for friction-free comfort and BioViz® reflectivity for visibility up to 100 meters, the PI Red Bib Short is made for the relentless—those who measure progress in watts, not words.

Review highlights
Reviews
"Likes: • Shoulder straps • the weight of the short’s fabric • the shape & composition of the chamios • the leg grippers. Less than optimal? • the shorts seem to run a little smaller than other Pearl Izumi shorts of the same size that I’ve purchased."
Bib Shorts
"I ordered these Bib Shorts in a large size which is the size I ordered for all of my other Bibs. Unfortunately, these seem a little tight so I’m thinking about returning them. Does anyone know if the Pro version of these Bibs is a more true fit?"
They run small
"I have purchased several pairs of men’s Pro Large bibs, so I ordered the same thing in Pi Red. There was no room for my parts, they were much smaller than usual. I reordered the XL’s, hopefully they will work."
"Super high end compared to what I’m used to!"
Excellent summer kit
"Absolutely Love these high-quality bib shorts. The fit and finish is first class. Shoulder straps and back panel both mesh-breathable. The chamois is superior quality, with firmer breathable cushioning and density-support, than other high end kit I own. On my first long hot ride these bib shorts stayed fitted, cool, and comfortable. At 5’11” and 160 lbs with proportional build, the large size fits me perfectly."
Bib shorts
"Great fit and construction"
Great bib shorts. Good value.
"Great quality. Straps and padding are very comfortable."
Great bibs
"Bibs are super comfortable, chamois is well padded and well made. Love the fit and the back mesh is very supportive."
Race fit true to size
"I bought these along with a couple other PI bibs. I’m 5’6” 168lbs and the mediums fit well. They are not overly short but also not creeping down to my knees. As a shorter rider these work quite well for me"
