Unlimited Cargo Bib Short - Men's

Unobtrusive but functional pockets

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

XL

Bought these a few months ago with the idea of wearing on my longer "adventure" rides, which I do on a gravel bike and can involve pavement, gravel, single track, etc. They are just as comfortable as my road bibs from the same brand and fit similarly but are made from a more durable material that gives me more confidence if I end up with any bushwhacking. There is a pocket in the small of the back which ends up under your jersey so is good for things you want to keep secure and out of the elements but don't need to access regularly (e.g. car keys). There are also two pockets on the outside of the thighs, which lay flat when not used but expand substantially to hold gear. While you can fit something like a phone, I found it better for lighter objects like gels, gloves, etc. only because I don't like the feeling of weight on my legs as I pedal. I'll probably just start buying these instead of dedicated road bibs since they are so versatile, but I'm sure I'll get some flack on group rides from the roadie purists for having pockets!
