Rapha Pro Team Cargo Bib Shorts — Men's Road Cycling

WorldTour-proven chamois: Pro Team Single Density pad with increased foam density for improved stability and power transfer, plus a perforated top sheet for reduced weight and breathability in the heat

Dual integrated leg pockets: One seamless cargo pocket per leg allows you to carry gels, a tube, or a phone — freeing up jersey pockets or enabling a more aerodynamic profile altogether

High-performance fabrics: Main body and pockets are 79% recycled nylon / 21% elastane; uppers are 76% recycled polyester / 13% polyester / 11% elastane — offering 4-way stretch, advanced moisture management, and muscle-compressing support

Wide elasticated grippers: Updated gripper design maximizes comfort and fit without excessive pressure at the leg hem, even on multi-hour efforts

Recycled materials throughout: Majority recycled fabric construction makes this a more environmentally considered choice without compromising Pro Team performance

Temperature range: Rated 6–25°C (43–78°F) — ideal for cool-morning KVR starts and spring/fall Okanagan road and gravel days

These bibs are for the rider who goes long. Whether you're ticking off a 200 km Okanagan gravel route, doing back-to-back days on the rail trail, or just refusing to turn around when the headwind picks up — the Pro Team Cargo is the bib that keeps up. The cargo pockets are a genuine game-changer for riders who self-support on long efforts, and the WorldTour chamois means your investment pays off every time you're still comfortable at hour four. They're equally suited to the competitive amateur who trains seriously and wants bibs that perform at the level their legs do.

If you're not sure whether the Regular fit works for your build or riding style, Rapha also offers a Cargo Bib Short in a Long leg length for taller riders — worth knowing before you buy.

Q1: How does Rapha sizing run — true to size, or should I size up or down? Rapha sizing is informed by a European athletic fit and tends to run snug by North American standards, particularly in the waist and thigh. Riders who are between sizes or carry more muscle in the legs often find sizing up gives a more comfortable result without affecting the compressive performance of the fabric. Rapha publishes detailed size charts with chest, waist, and hip measurements on their website, and our team at Fresh Air can help you work through those measurements in-store if you're unsure.

Q2: Are these bib shorts suitable for riding in Kelowna's summer heat? Rapha rates the Pro Team Cargo Bib Shorts for a temperature range of 6–25°C (43–78°F). That covers most of Kelowna's spring, fall, and early-summer mornings comfortably. However, during peak Okanagan summer when midday temperatures regularly exceed 30–35°C, these bibs may feel warm for extended efforts. The perforated chamois top sheet and moisture-managing fabrics do help, but riders planning full-day summer rides in peak heat may want to start early and plan their route accordingly — or consider Rapha's Flyweight range for the hottest conditions.

Q3: How do I care for these bibs to maintain the performance of the technical fabrics? Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, inside out, in a mesh laundry bag if possible. Tumble dry on a cool setting or lay flat to dry — avoid high heat, which can degrade the elastane and chamois foam over time. Do not iron. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as both break down moisture-wicking performance. Following these steps will extend the life of the chamois and keep the compression fabrics performing as intended.
