Rapha Pro Team Training Bib Shorts II — Men's Road Cycling

Single-density chamois gives bulk-free support and comfort on long training rides

High-stretch fabric with strong moisture management for hard efforts

Mesh back panel and lightweight straps for high breathability and temperature control

Optimised panel construction for an engaged, locked-in fit

Wide elasticated leg grippers for a secure fit with pressure-free comfort

Made mostly from recycled materials

These bib shorts are for road riders who log regular training miles and want a supportive, compressive bib that holds its shape through heavy use. Rapha rates them for 6–25°C, with a breathability rating of 4/5. That makes them a strong choice for Okanagan spring and fall riding and for summer rides that start early, before the heat sets in. The regular leg length and wide grippers stay in place without digging in. Rapha recommends pairing them with a base layer and the Pro Team Training Jersey.

Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right size and fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to talk gear and activity with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425.

Q1: How does Rapha sizing run — true to size, or should I size up/down?
Rapha describes these bibs as having a compressive feel for maximum engagement. For reference, Rapha's model is 176 cm (5'9") and wears size S. Rapha doesn't give size-up or size-down guidance on the product page. Sizes run XS to XXXL. Because the fit is compressive, we recommend trying them on in-store at either Fresh Air location.

Q2: Are these bib shorts suitable for riding in Okanagan summer heat?
Rapha rates them for 6–25°C, and the mesh back panel and lightweight straps give them high breathability (4/5). They're ideal for early-morning summer rides and for spring and fall training. On peak-summer days when Kelowna climbs well above 25°C, ride early to stay within the shorts' intended range and to avoid the hottest part of the day.

Q3: How do I care for recycled nylon bib shorts to maintain performance?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours and tumble dry on a cool setting. Do not bleach, iron, dry clean, or iron the print. The main body is 79% recycled nylon/21% elastane, and the upper is 76% recycled polyester/13% polyester/11% elastane.
