Przewalski Men’s 3D Padded Cycling Bike Bib Shorts compared to $180 bib shorts
Ok, so I bought the Przewalski Men’s 3D Padded Cycling Bike Bib Shorts in the spring of 2018. Before, believe it or not, I wasn't using any padded shorts! So, compared to that I thought these were great. The only time I began to feel any discomfort was at the end of a 50 mile ride. But, would a more expensive pair feel more comfortable? I then acquired a $104.00 pair of Bontrager bib shorts. I took them back because they weren't nearly as comfortable (discomfort within 15 - 20 miles). I continued to use the Przewalskis. Finally, I decided to purchase a pair of $180.00 Specialized RBX Pro bib shorts (I know, $180 bucks for shorts is embarrassing, but I like to be comfy and if the less expensive Przewalskis were good...) Well, the RBX's are nice, but the have nothing in comfort on the Przewalskis. Check out the photo. The Przewalskis have the green insert and the Specialized have the red insert. As you can see the Przewalskis have a 3 D insert produced by Dupont. They, like the RBX's have the most/best padding on the seat bone area. They are not too bulky. The rest of the bib shorts are also well constructed with panels that make the fit very good. The RBX's fit well also but actually are less comfy because the stitching is slightly scratchy which causes some slight itching.
As you can see, you are getting a "higher-end short" . ate a much more comfortable price. I'll let you take it from there.
ps. I've now bought a second pair of Przewalski Men’s 3D Padded Cycling Bike Bib Shorts .
