Was not impressed with look and feel of these. Material feels cheap and construction is not what I'm used to. Very much felt like separate pieces stitched together rather than an integrated bibshort. Overall, didn't like and returned. Hard to see these as worth the price point.
Seem a little tight,made for slim guys.
The fit and finish is excellent, and very comfortable.
I tried this brand for the first time. I was intrigued by the fabric and chamois construction. It seemed like a quality piece for the price. First, the bibs are true to size. The back panel is superior with a breathable panel. The chamois is excellent on the first couple of rides. I'll see how it holds up over time. The fabric is unique for me, kind of a honeycomb weave, provided good support and compression without restricting movement. Overall a comfortable pair now in my regular rotation
I've been using these on my longer training rides and for races as they are very comfortable. A little longer in the leg than I'm used to but that's no issue at all. Good support and good fit overall.
I've purchased McKenzie bibshorts before. The Pro version felt quite snug that I thought they were going to be too small. But, found that I really liked the feel and support. They have loosened up a little after 2 or 3 washings.
The main think I look for in shorts is a good pad since I really enjoy 60+ mile days in the saddle. I found these to be comfortable but also hold everything in place. I'm 5' 9", 153 lbs and purchased a size medium.
I am 5'9" muscular build at 190lb. I ordered XL and good thing I did, even tho the chart has me at a large. No way would I be able to wear a large.. I do not see how it is possible someone 6' or taller could wear them as the straps would be way too short. The lower band on the leg is tight now but I have a feeling after a few hundred miles they will start to get baggy. Something about the material does not give me a lot of confidence. I got mine on a deal of the day for 1/2 price so that makes them ok. If I had paid $xxx for them I would have been bummed. I will update my review after a couple hundred miles and I hope I am wrong and that I end up loving them.
I'm always looking for better bib shorts that don't break the bank. These are head and shoulders above any I've worn and purchased. The McKenzie ProCorsa Summit bib shorts are super. At 50% off sale, they are the best purchase I've ever made for bib shorts that are truly worth their full price. I'm 5' 8" tall 185 lbs, 38 inch waist. Extra large purchase. Fit is perfect!
I own both versions of the McKenzie and enjoy wearing both of them but the chamois is certainly better on the pro model, a good bit thicker it seems and more dense so it's very comfortable for me. The legs come down to my knees with the XL, I'm 5'9' 210lbs, and the material feels thick and provides good compression. For days above 85 degrees with humidity I'm more likely to wear something lighter but these aren't swelteringly hot by any means. Most days I prefer wearing these over my Assos summer bibs as they fit the well-nourished American body type better. The shoulder straps are nice and wide so I never feel them digging in and the 'waistline' is high so it helps to keep any excess baggage from spilling over the edges. When these are on sale I believe they offer a pretty good value.
I ride 8-10,000 miles yearly so I need a bib that can endure the daily mileage and these bibs appear to be doing the job so far. Time will tell but I am very pleased and wouldn�t hesitate to buy another pair when the time comes to do so.
This is a nicely made bib - certainly comparable to the Pearl PRO bib I usually wear, but with a bit nicer chamois. The fabric provides nice compression that doesn't loosen up during long rides like some of the less expensive shorts I've owned. Very nice laser cut straps that are plenty stretchy.
These bibs are comfortable. they might be a little thick for the summer but will work for the rest of the year. the pad is thinner, but more dense, which I like. I would buy them again. I bought them on sale, for great value for the sale price.
I�ve found these bibs to be almost equivalent to other top brands that I use. The pad works well. The only problem I�ve found with them pertains to how much stitching there is� a lot of panels. At the sale price I paid ,it was a good purchase� at the regular price�. probably not so much.
I have a couple of pairs of the Summit bibshorts and have been impressed with their quality and comfort, particularly for the price.
The Pro version is a nice step up. The fabric feels a bit softer, while retaining better compression over a long ride. I like the slightly longer leg length. Seems just about perfect now.
The chamois in the regular Summit is quite nice, but this one is even a bit better.
I'm usually a Pearl Izumi guy but grabbed these on sale. They run a tad small in comparison but are well made and comfortable. Recommended!
Have only had 5 rides, 250 miles with these bibs so far, but liked them so much after the first ride I bought a second pair (both on sale). They are sized a bit small, I had to go with XXL (6'0", 200#)
I�m trying to find that perfect fit and feel and these are close only have two rides in them a short track race and a 30 miler so need more time but I will say they fit is great will write another later after I get a chance to a 100 miles
This bib is so comfortable. I swear by these. Got them on sale when I saw the price drop. They provide good comfort on the saddle no pain for me or any irritation. I use them outdoor with leggings, and they are extremely good on long rides. 20-30miles is what I do outdoor and I hope I can get a few more of these. They are perfect!
Great product and looking forward to seeing what they�re like on a Century, my test for a good chamois!
Nicer material and nicer chamois then their regular version, but no leg grippers at the knees so depending on your leg shape you could have lose material flapping in the wind due to the longer inseam on this pro version. I returned this one and will either buy a second pair of PI Pro or the regular ProCorsa McKenzie.
