Sparx Men's Elite Super Roubaix Thermal Cycling 3/4 Bib Tights Bib Knicker Coolmax Padded

I’ve usually worn expensive, name-brand bibs and thought that I’d give this half-price Amazon brand a try, and return them for free if I didn’t like them. The Sparx knickers are keepers even if I had paid more and are just what I was looking for.These tights are made of a a medium-weight fabric that is lightly brushed on the inside for warmth and is very soft and stretchy. They are well made with good seams and nice grippers on the bottom.I would say that these run about right according to the size chart. I am 5’6”, 136 lbs., have skinny legs, wear 30/30 trousers and ordered a size small. They fit tightly which is what expected and wanted. Medium might have been OK but I expect that there would have been some bagginess had I gone larger. They are the longest ¾ bibs I have ever had which is OK (they can be bunched up with no problem) and these should be plenty long for someone who is taller.I’m very pleased with the chamois which seems to be just right. I would characterize the padding as medium thickness that isn’t so large that it feels like a diaper. This can be a concern in low-priced bike tights as many newbies buying them often associate thicker, larger padding as being better.I typically don’t wear ¾ bibs at temps lower than 40° but I might try these next winter down into the 30s, given the brushed fabric. I found that these get a little warm when the temps get much above 60°.I’d recommend these to anyone, particularly for the price. I hope that the Sparx bib shorts are constructed similarly as I plan on trying them too.

The fit on these is great! I am 6'4" and 225lbs. 2xl was a great fit. They are comfortably tight and leg length is perfect. The torso goes up higher than any bibs i have, so that was nice for cooler temps. Chamois is respectable for rides of a few hours. I use chamois butter. Would order more, no doubt. Would like more color variety in these knickers that are available in the full length tights.

Good 3/4 bibs, warm and a good fit. Quality is good and they seem well made.The Navy colour is not navy, or even blue, but rather a grey with a hint of blue.Only an issue if you wish to match other kit.

Pros: I size down from the chart one size. Fit is far better than expected. Super warm on a chilly morning ride. I always wore full length tights for cold weather. These were warm enough as the knee coverage made the difference. Seems to disapate sweat keeping your legs dry.Cons: needs a leg pocket for a phone. It's darker than navy, no big deal just expect darker.

Good construction, warm, seems like it will last. Main gripe is too many stitching seams on the front causes discomfort. Chamois is too narrow for me, but I have wide sit bones, might work for others.

If you're a fan of knickers and want a pair for training or racing when temps hover between 40 and 60 degrees F, I must say for the price I paid, the Sparx knickers are of excellent quality and they fit and feel great. I used them on a training ride with temps in the upper 30's/low 40's and they performed flawlessly. I'm 5'11" 158 lbs and I purchased the all black version in size medium. And last, but not least, the chamois felt great after nearly 2.5 hours in the saddle.So far, I can't find any flaws. Just hard to believe the great quality of these knickers given the 39 dollar price tag.

I've got about 300 miles in these and so far so good. They've been through the laundry several times. I hang them up to dry like the rest of our laundry.The thickness and insulation is exactly what I wanted. OK at 30 deg and even colder. I roll out early and it usually warms up quickly in the Colorado foot hills. The shammy is good. Overall quality seems good so far. No tears or wear spots and elastic is holding up well. I've never had bibs before and still prefer a simple high waste non-bib. However, the bib upper is definitely warmer when the temp is below 35 deg. Gets a little too warm for me 45-50 deg.These knickers are pretty much as advertised. I just wish I could find a non-bib version with a high waste.

Just what I was looking for and more. Comfortable fit and the chamois is extra nice for hours of riding.

Die Hose passt ausgezeichnet - hat ein richtig gutes Sitzpolster ( keine Windel ). Sie ist für den Übergang sehr schön warm. Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis ist ausgezeichnet. Die lange Lieferzeit war angekündigt, somit ist auch das in Ordnung. Rundum sehr zufrieden.

I have hit and miss luck buying clothing online. I have to say these are perfect! Well made and very comfortable. Great for early mornings, early or late season rides. Just got them today and threw down a quick 10kms just to try them out and love them. Highly recommend. I am 5'10" 170 lb large is perfect fit.

The leg length is really good and the overall fit is good. But I think you need to read the reviews to understand exactly what the fit is like. This is the 1st time I've bought 3/4 length Roubaix bib shorts online that have fitted well. Comfortable and as good for Autumn morning ride temperatures as I hoped. Happy with these..

These are a good set of 3/4 bibs. They are lacking a bit in the chamois padding department and probably wouldn't be comfortable after 50km (reason for 4 stars), but if your just doing shorter rides in spring/fall (20-40km) these are great.Good construction and relatively comfortable and good fit. Price is right.
