Rapha Core Bib - superb!!

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Love the fit, used it on my short ride. Very comfortable. Can’t wait to try it on my longer rides.

Fit all wrong

I'm 5'10" and 140lbs, and the size medium is too small, but the main problem is the fact that the straps are not stretchy and/or long enough. Maybe these would work for someone about 5'6" and maybe 130lbs?

Giving Rapha bibs a try

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Size Bought:
Large

Just like all other reviews these bibs run small. Although I usually up-size my bibs from medium to large simply for comfort, I should have heeded the advice from others and chose an XLg bib. But, I did not and and chose size large and they fit me but snuggly. I'm sticking with them for when I need the extra compression. I find the fabric isn't as porous as I prefer but they should be fine during cooler weather rides. These will not be my preference during hot or humid weather conditions. Overall, they seem well constructed with comfortable seams, straps, and chamois pad.

Rapha for real

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I try to spend money on 3 most important bicycling products where quality makes a big difference, and bib shorts are #1, to prevent chaffing etc, especially on those difficult long rides. Quite impressed with the quality of fabric, chamois and feel of this Rapha, thought it was just a hype or style, but they have stepped it up and quite happy with them, they run true to slightly small to size, so order appropriately. Usually I wear Assos, Sugoi, Castelli, because they fit best for me as Size Small , but will add Rapha to my list.
