- Men's Cycling Bib Tights 4D Padded Bike Pants with Mesh Straps

Good buy

I’m surprised how comfortable and decent this bib is for the money. It easily compares with more expensive gear I own. Great for Ca. winter coastal rides. I don’t need thermal so regular long pants are more than warm enough on cool mornings for me.

The Przewalski moisture wicking bib tights are light weight bib tights, perhaps about as cool as wearing bib shorts plus sun leggings without the bother of separate leggings. Unfortunately Przewalski does not provide any UPF rating information. The material is densely woven and opaque.The material also has a large range of stretch. The tights are easy to get on and off even though there are no ankle zippers. The contraction force is not particularly strong. These are definitely not compression tights. The material does cling tightly to the skin to wick moisture and does not droop.I purchased size medium for a 32" waist, 36" hips, 21" thighs, and 32" inseam. The fit is good everywhere and quite comfortable. There are some wrinkles of extra material on the legs, someone with longer legs should have no problem with size M. The ankle grippers keep the bottom of the tights in place, the bibs keep the chamois in place.The chamois doesn't work well for me. It is quite thin and flexible with some thicker "4D' patches. There is no rubbing or chaffing but my sitz bones miss the "4D" patch so the padding is not adequate on a long ride. Perhaps the chamois is sewn too far back.Workmanship is excellent. Seams are flat and straight, there are no ragged edges or loose threads.The tights are mostly solid black. There is nothing to aid daytime visibility. There are some small reflective decorations that might reflect headlights at night.The manufacturer should provide a UPF rating and improve the chamois.

I haven't tried the fancy riding clothing from companies charging up to 5 times as much. These budget friendly cycling bibs are fantastic value. They are comfortable, and are holding up well after dozens of days of riding. I use these for my fall through spring bike commuting. They are perfect on their own down to about 50F. Got for 1 hour plus rides on lower temp days, then I'd recommend adding an extra layer. Layering is better than going thicker anyway. With a pair of polar fleece cycling/cross country skiing pants (no internal pad) over top, I can ride in 22F without a problem. Pretty much is the temperature is below 65F I wear these. I've read that it's critical to keep you knees warm in lower temps. You leg muscles will be find with shorts, but the knees don't like being cold. With cycling be a repetitive process you need to protect the knees. This is simpler than getting those pull on knee covers. The pad is comfortable. Not too thick, not too thin. It's just rite for me. The only thing wearing on these is the manufacture logo. The small bit of reflective material on the leg cuffs is holding up fine. I could not be happier, and for the money these are great value.

Excellent product. I’d give it 6 stars for value for money.Warmth: I’ve worn these in 15 degrees F, and felt ver, very warm the more I rode. I’ve worn them in the mid 20’s, the 30’s, and lower 40’s. I’d say the lower 40’s for me were just about the end of my comfort level.Fit: they fit true to size. Read the chart. And the reviews and you won’t have any problems. I’m 6’3; 267 when I purchased these in xxl. I’m down to 258and they fit even better. The top half comes up with enough fabric such that you stomach is not only held in firmly, but it give the gut some extra warmth.The legs run a little long, but who’s complaining about that in the winter? And I prefer longer to shorter in that case.The seat cushion is amazing! One of the best comfort garments for cycling that’s now in my closet. You can compare it to any of the top brands which aren’t as good when compared anyways. And I mean that sincerely without being disrespectful.Breathe: it’s fabulous. It breathes flawlessly! I’m never too hot and definitely never cold in these.Great find!

In Southern California.I probably ride in these twice a week.Im 6'4" and bought the XL bibs. They fit great are of really decent quality!I've got several pairs of expensive bibs and these are comparable.I purchased them back in early April of this year.7 months later, they're still together and wearing wel; granted I switched to short bibs for much of that time. (They've even accidentally gone through the dryer a time or two.)True, the ankles are a bit tight and Ive heard some threads snapping as I stretch them to get my foot through but nothing major that has affected their integrity.The chamois is cushy and comfortable.For my needs they are warm enough to cut the morning cold.You'll probably need the thermal version for anywhere with real weather.Yes, the lettering decals fell off after the first few washings but thank goodness.FYI - a Przewalski is a short stocky horse; I'm not missing being branded as one.If or when these do finally bust a seam or get a hole, I won't hesitate to purchase another pair.

Description says fleece lined. These are not fleece lined. These are basically summer bib material but full leg length. I could probably use them in high 40 to low 50 degree range.

I've been a big Prezewalki fan for years. I was disappointed in this product, however, because the legs are not fleece lined. It appears to be more of a early fall/spring weight than a winter weight garment. Perhaps they shipped the wrong pair to me because a five-year-old pair of theirs that I can still use is noticably heavier with a warm fleece lining.
