For cyclists who want top-tier performance with a dialed-in fit, the Men's PRO Bib Shorts (Short Inseam) deliver all the comfort of our PRO Bib Shorts in a shorter length for riders who prefer a more sleek, minimalist design.

Crafted with luxurious Italian PRO Transfer fabric, these bibs provide a compressive fit that enhances muscle support and wicks moisture to keep you cool on your longest, hardest efforts. The PRO Levitate™ chamois features multi-density suspension foam for friction-reducing, road-smoothing comfort that holds up over hours in the saddle.

The shorter inseam offers a more modern cut or accommodates riders with shorter proportions, while raw-edge leg openings with silicone grippers ensure a smooth, stay-put fit. Laser-cut bib straps lay flat and disappear under your jersey for next-to-skin comfort.

Pair them with our Men's PRO Jersey, or any other of our men's cycling jerseys, for a full pro-level kit, or explore more men's cycling bib shorts to find the right fit and performance for your ride.

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.

Reviews

Best bib short

"I have been riding these Pro bibs for almost two decades. They work the best for me and sooooo happy they came out with a short version. I am 5’8” and the regular length falls right at my knees which works okay for early spring and fall but sucks for summer rides. These are a perfect length like the older original Pro bibs but new version has an improved chamois and build. Not sure why new trend is for long legged shorts and super short jersey torsos. I stocked up on a half dozen of these. They last forever so look forward to many years of riding in them."

— Aaron (5/5)

Good but tight in the thighs

"Thunder thighs, chunky, sprinters legs? Sure. I'm gifted in the girth of my legs and I feel like they're a bit tight there which is too bad. The Material is really nice and when compared to the cargo shorts they're a whole level up breathability wise. Because my hams are huge it is a bit of a struggle to get them on compared to my older Sugoi and other bibs. I think the padding itself is good but not my favorite but we'll see how they do as I've only had a handful of rides on them."

— Eric L. (3/5)

Pro Short Bibs

"These are my go to bibs. I usually were L or XL in clothes, and these I need an XL. Bibs are soft and comfortable. I like a little shorter leg and these are perfect. I've bought cheaper bibs and not been happy. No regrets whatsoever with these."

— John P. (5/5)

More colours please!

"I really enjoy these shorts. Great fit and great feel but I just wish there was more colour options"

— Jdog (5/5)

My first Bib Shorts

"I'm a true believer in that you get what you pay for. The Pro Bib Shorts are top notch and worth every penny! I'm 5'9 and weigh 177lbs. The short inseam fits me perfect, the regular inseam would be on my kneecaps!"

— Steve T. (5/5)

Great short inseam short

— John G. (5/5)

Bib Shorts

"Thanks to Pearl Izumi for having this short inseam version. I was looking at other brands but they don’t seem to have it. I am 5. 7’ and the short inseam fits me well. Thanh you."
