Review by Old Rider
Good bibs for when it's really hot. The pad is not too thick and comfortable. Length on the legs is just right a little over the knee.

They seem to be good so far. The longest ride this far was 3 hours and they were still comfortable.
Review by Grandpa Jim
Well made and comfortable. The pad is very basic, but feels fine. I use the shorts for both road and mt. biking.
Review by James
Returned as the chamois felt cheap and thin, and overall quality was no up to standard for the price.

I'm a demi Clydesdale size rider and have a tendency to be hard on bibs. This was my first try with PI bibs and I really like the fit and comfort of the chamois. Haven't had them long enough to say anything about durability. At their price I would put them up against competition such as aerotech costing significantly more.

Use is for 30-40 mile bike rides. But the thickness of the padding becomes uncomfortable quickly. Everything else about these bibs is fine.

Fits great and shoulder straps are wide enough that they stay put and do not dig into your shoulders. Padding is good for even longer rides.

Best overall bibs for this price... they simply can't be beat!

Not really a nice pair of shorts. The chamois is rough and pretty basic. I commute a lot which means riding twice a day and these shorts don hold there elasticity on the second ride.

I buy these shorts whenever they are on sale. They are comfortable, affordable, and of good quality.

I've been wearing the Pearl Quest bibs for the last three seasons. I can honestly say that I think they are a great value for the low price - as compared to others. I can't bring myself to spend $100 to $200 for a pair of bibs, and these have been just fine up to 60 mile rides. I'm a Clydesdale rider and I tend to wear a pair of these out in a season. I just write the monthyear on the inner tag that I started wearing them and that way I can tell which ones have a worn our pad! Overall great product and good sizing - I wear XL in almost everything and the XL in these fits fine.

I'm fairly new to bib's but have found them nice when the weather turns cool. The extra layer works and Pearl Izumi stuff, well, you can't go wrong with PI. About Bike Tires Direct, his is my second order, the first coming during the Christmas rush and BTD just rocks! Good prices, easy processing, accurate order completion and ON TIME DELIVERY! I'm that cheap that I calculate what it would cost me to drive to where I can get my goods instead of having them delivered not only in part because buying sight unseen and then playing delivery-stolen package-wrong item shipped roulette frosts my burgers. But Bike Tires Direct is the real deal and gives superior 'performance', if you know what I mean, to other online bike sellers. I AM a fan!

I use the product anytime I'm going to be riding any length of distance. The bibs are extremely comfortable and I can have them on for hours at a time and not even think about the fact that I'm wearing them. The flat stitching for the chamois is the main reason why I first purchased this brand and model and I have to say that I have not had any unwarranted chaffing problems since I started wearing them. I can't express how much I love these things.

Thought I would try out bibs, these were a great price, and pearl izumi always makes a good product. first ride was 60 miles, no chaffing or discomfort.

These bibs
These bibs are a good fit and are very comfortable to wear.
Review by Shingo
I bought a lot of PI apparel and this bib fits great without exception. It's quest level so it's a little chunky, but when it's on I really can't sense the difference between quest and elite. Anyway I like it.
Review by Cycleboy
After two years these bibs finally started to thin. I still use them for mountain biking and purchased three more for the road. They have a very comfortable pad, leg grippers and a great fit.
