Women's Pro SL Bibshorts - Black

I purchased these shorts from a different retailer, but wanted to leave a review here in the hope that the Endura product team are more likely to see it! I have given a 5* rating for these shorts as the overall fit is really really nice and they look very sleek and flattering. The leg gripper is nicely done, no sausage leg to be seen :) I wear a size 8 usually and purchased the shorts in XS. When I first tried the shorts on I was a bit worried that the pad would be too bulky and restrictive when on the bike as I noticed it a lot when standing - however, I was very happy to be proved wrong and I can honestly say it was super super comfortable when out cycling. Having previously tried a few different brands of shorts and still struggled with saddle discomfort and sores -(some of which come in about £100 more expensive than these!!) I am really over the moon to have found such a great pair, even better that they have the drop seat. Big thanks to the Endura team for putting so much research into the product, I will definitely be buying a second pair. The only slight criticism I have is that I would have preferred the upper body material to be black or darker in colour as I think the white may discolour after a while due to sweat/deodorant/general wear.

I'd say these are as good as my 'premium' ones, at £70 less. The material feels quite tough and inflexible but it's comfortable when riding and the open back is really good - much cooler than the usual bib shorts. The closed in front isn't hot either. Generally the shorts are very well ventilated. The pee stop provision works as well. I find the chamois comfortable and while my Le Col ones are probably a bit more flattering, they look fine. First ride in them was a 50m ride in very hot weather and they were pretty good :-)

I was so excited to when I found these shorts as they solved perennial the problem of the WC stop. They fit beautifully and are good quality with the exception of the pad. This is hard as a board and very uncomfortable after less than an hour. Such a shame that this has been skimped on.

These are by far the best comfort bibshorts I have tried & I have investigated far and wide - no fiddly clasps to wrestle with, & the legs don't strangle my sprinter's thighs. Only 1 caveat - the top front is just a bit too wide for my narrow shoulders so slightly chafes my shoulder/armpit. Not given an XS option & anyway XS almost always does strangle my thighs, so on balance I'll stick with this compromise & vaseline my oxters
