Fantastic Bibs
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I know products like these are subjective so this is just my experience, yours may be different however, after receiving these bibs I gambled and rode a century with them the following day and I can confidently say they are the most comfortable bibs that I can remember wearing. I was a little hesitant because when I put them on they felt a little more snug that I am used to but not in a bad way, just different. The pad is excellent, it fits me perfectly and is so comfortable on the saddle. No pain the following day and no soreness. They seem true to size, I am 6' 3", 100kg and the XL fits great. I also want to add that my saddle of choice on all my bikes is a Fabric Scoop Pro Shallow so that is now my set up, these bibs and my fabric saddle. I would suggest giving them a shot, I got home and immediately ordered another 2 pairs!

Very comfortable
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
After buying a number of mediocre shorts in the moderate price range and not being very happy with the pad and overall quality and comfort I decided to try these. Boy what a difference, the fit and comfort are great and finally a pad that lets me stay in the saddle all day. They are expensive but if they hold up it will be money well spent.

Great Recommendation
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
A former teammate recommended Giordana to replace our aging team kits. Now that we are retired from the local amateur crash fests, it was time for some upgrades. The bibs fit like a glove. Great chamois. Love the wide straps. Thankfully purchased two as they are my go to. Super happy thus far.

On My Second Set
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Though on the pricy side, I've made an exception for these bib shorts. For me, by far the most comfortable bibs I own. I like the slightly longer leg of this bib and the wider bib strap. The first pair lasted 3 seasons with before showing signs of wear, though they were still comfortable.

Best bibs I've ever owned
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I researched many bibs and decided to go with these. You'd have to prove it to me to make me believe there is a better pair on the market. The comfort and feel is excellent and super lightweight. For me there is no need to try any other brand.

Adequate for the job. *
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
*initial impression, subject to change. After a few more rides: I may bump this up a star. The product literature suggested using without chamois creme, claiming it's unnecessary. It tried it without, and indeed it worked out well. I'll go for some longer rides without just to be sure. ---- Initial impression: Having ridden mainly Assos and Castelli bibs for the last several years, these Giordana have a different fit and feel. The FRC Pro uses more material that what I am used to in those other brands. The legs feel a little bit longer, the bib straps are wider, and overall, the designers did not seem to be concerned with paring down weight (excess material). Pros and cons to this. This would not be my first choice for summer shorts because they feel a bit heavier (like heavy clothing, not like a significant weight penalty). The wider straps feel more secure, and less prone to buckle, pinch, or tear like some of the lightweight Castelli I have owned. However, the legs feel longer and the leg cuffs squeeze just behind the knees, therefore a bit more restrictive than necessary. The chamois also doesn't conform quite as well off the bike. The upper part of the chamois sort of pulls away from the body a bit (diaper effect). This is really only noticeable while standing; once on the bike the chamois lays down exactly where it needs to go, and it is on par in terms of comfort for at least the first few initial rides I have done with these. The chamois design looks very basic at this price point, that generic sort of orange/red foam I have seen on lower-line shorts, with stitching on the entire periphery. I am surprised that these are priced where they are. While sturdy and reliable, they feel a bit more economical because of these issues, and I would expect the FRC Pro to compete more directly with mid-level Pearl Izumi, for example, than with other top European brands. I am optimistic the bit of extra material will contribute to longevity, however, and if so, the price may be justified for my own personal sense of economy.

Fell in love then fell apart
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I bought these bibs to add to my rotation and decided to spring for the best. Very comfortable top to bottom. Perfect chamois and comfy straps. Perfect compression where it is very supportive but not impossible to put on (I'm looking at you Castelli). They fit true to size for me. I'm 5'8" tall, 155 pounds. I have size Medium. The Bad: They wore through the inner thigh after 8 rides. As with all of my kits, I wash with gentle cycle and hang dry. I own 10 pairs of bibs, mostly LG and Sportful. I have bibs that are over 5 years old and none have shown any wear on my inner thigh let alone worn through. Sadly Competitive Cyclist won't let me return these. Perhaps they were defective because I want to love them. Hope this helps.
