Dappere Posted October 21, 2021 Share I have been looking around for cargo/adventure bibs. Although very popular in Europe, they don't seem to be that popular in RSA. When referring to cargo bibs, it's those with the mesh pockets on the legs. They are great for longer MTB rides. From browsing I have found 3 options: Ciovita: https://ciovita.co.za/collections/mens-cycling-bibs-shorts/products/mens-cargo-commuter-bib-shorts I haven't had the best experience with Ciovita bibs, wouldn't be me first choice. Enjoy: https://enjoy.cc/product/mens-bib-short-proxision-cargo-black/ Seems like a good option, but the product shots doesn't show where these pockets are. Santini: https://www.cyclelab.com/product/santini-men-s-black-gravel-bib-shorts No stock. I have messaged and emailed cyclelab regarding this bib, but like most occasions, they hardly get back to you. - Does anybody have a cargo bib they can recommend, or have one of the above that they can provide a bit more feedback on?

JulienR Posted October 21, 2021 Share Sportful and Castelli also make these. i have the sportful version and am happy with them. They also come with a mesh pocket at the back of the bib https://www.sportful.co.za/collections/mens-gravel-2021-2022/products/sportful-super-giara-bib-shorts-mens-2020-21 https://www.castelli.co.za/products/castelli-unlimited-all-surface-bib-short-2021-black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowl Posted October 21, 2021 Share Spez also has something similar, would love a pair. Conflicted about riding with valuables exposed though. https://www.cyclingweekly.com/reviews/shorts/specialized-rbx-adventure-bib-short-w-swat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100Tours Posted October 21, 2021 Share Personally a proper pair of cycling baggies with pockets (plus liner) are just the bomb. lycra pockets with your cellphone jammed in are uncomfortable for your whole peleton ???? Zebra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree, but looking to use the pockets for nutrition only; like gels and bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only nutrition. Much easier to access on the mtb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted October 22, 2021 Share https://go-cycle.co.za/product/mens-adventure-cycling-bib/ The pockets are on the back above the bum. The Enjoy Proxision cargo bibs pockets are on the backs strap just above the butt which makes it easy to reach. I'm working with a manufacture on an alternative option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't but Williams Bike Shop in Somerset West has just switched their shop kit over to Go-cycle and both he and Darryn can't stop talking about how comfortable the top of the line bib is.
