Enjoy a high-quality bib short that doesn't break the bank with the Essence Bib Short from Craft. Featuring stretchy materials that conform to your body and provide an ideal fit while in the riding position, the Essence promises comfort on long days in the saddle. Craft uses recycled nylon and Elastane for the face fabric that's elastic, soft to the touch, offers UPF50+ protection, and is very durable. Its Lycra Sport Energy compression fabric provides 4-way elasticity that reduces oscillations from road chatter so muscles don't fatigue as quickly letting you stay more powerful on the ride. Its ergonomic bib construction provides much-needed support while its mesh fabric prevents you from overheating. Wide, soft, elastic leg openings utilize a double fabric with silicone print to help keep the hem in place. Chamois duties are handled by Craft's Infinity C3 that features a laser cut anatomic design for support and comfort. Its top layer features a friction-free fabric that virtually eliminates irritation and its hydrophilic treatment and hollow fiber core keep you drier and the insert lighter.

These are that famous indestructible Craft quality at a slightly better price than the bargain brand that starts with a 'V', plus silicon grippers and a better pad.No reason to get anything else.

I'm a 46 in chest, 32 in jeans, medium in most shorts but running shorts I have to get a large. I ordered an XL and it's perfect. Love the compression and feel but the pad is a tad thin and after an hour it was slightly uncomfortable. For the record im an ultra runner and cycling is just a way for me to have active recovery days and commute around town. The bib did its job and I now just try to ride 1.5 hours or less so I don't walk like a cowboy after my ride. Again it could be cause im new to riding.

I got these to wear on the trainer and have been pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they are. The fit is great and the chamois is great for an hour or two on the trainer.

I really like the fit of these. I'm pretty skinny (5'10" 140 lbs) and sometimes have a hard time finding shorts that fit in both the thigh and waist. But Craft works for me. I have these same ones as regular shorts, but the bib version is way better. Comfy, stays in place, good chamois. Very happy with them.
I like cCaft products. These bib shorts have a great pad. The torso could be a bit longer, but it’s a great piece.
Like these, light padding means less bunching in the crotch. Construction is quality. I'm 5-8 and 150 lbs. yet had to size up one size to a large.
Not what I was expecting thin padding cheap feeling returned them to REI not the quality that I have come accustomed to the last 48 years that I’ve been a customer and member.
Ok for the price point but size L extremely tight around the thigh area. Not much stretch built in to these.
I purchased this bib for my boyfriend. Extremely confortable on longer rides, very light and breathable. The fit is perfect and he has a nice bum. 😉Would buy again.
These shorts are similar to much higher-priced bib shorts including other European brands, with just as much support and comfort needed for mid-distance rides. Shoulder straps a tad short but feels like quality material and should last. 6'2" 170lbs and L fit me very well.
