I have them. If you get them, order a shoe horn or you will curse them.

Are they better or worse than the Ragnaroks for getting on/off?

The cuff on the Ragnarok lets water in at the velcro closure and it makes me sad.

MUCH harder to get into. They are warmer and fit me really well. But damn if they are not a PITA to get on.

I’ll note that I have some 3bolt Fizik winter hightops in 46.5 that I don’t want. Yours for a donation to your local mutual aid group. Maybe they won’t crush your feet?

Pretty much decided I’m just getting another pair of sworks 7 when i do my taxes. Much monies, but they just work for me since shimano changed their fit with the rc902.

Months later… we finally got around to getting our bibs into our website. The offer still stands for a discount code for tarckers. DM me if you want it.

is there a size chart somewhere?

Not yet… I’m 5’10 and 160 and fit snugly into a medium. I wear a medium in just about everything. For those of you who have tried Blackbibs the fit is SLIGHTLY trimmer. For those that have tried Giordana I’d say it is very similar.

what’s the breakdown of everyday vs cargo vs rando?

Everyday is cold black lycra, a less expensive strap, and what I would call a mid-distance chamois. A good summertime bib for tarck centuries and mid-distance rides. The pad is marketed as an endurance chamois, but in my experience, it’s not as luxurious as what we use in the other versions. It costs a bit less and that combined with the less expensive upper made it possible to justify using coldblack for the main material.

The Cargo bib uses lighter-weight lycra and a fancier upper. The pad is from Cytech and is the same one that is in the sample bibs that I have had in heavy rotation for over a year. It’s really really good. That is to say, I like the way it touches my butt.

Rando bib uses the same pad as the cargo bib but foregoes the pockets and lighter lycra for fabric with additional compression.

The upper is the same on the cargo and rando and it’s really comfy to me.

All three use 100% recycled materials for uppers and lowers.

ordered a pair of those cargo bibs

Yay!

Got my cargo bibs yesterday, did an hour in zwift in them tonight, set new zwift 5s power PR. It must be the bibs.

More seriously though, they are really nice for the monies, sizing is a tiny bit smaller than the Rapha core bibs that I’ve been using (I have bulky legs), but the extra compression is kinda nice. Great pad choice :chefkiss:

Haha. Good. Daniel is awesome.

Braden is this the exact same pad that is in current Rapha?

I have no idea. Do you base the current Rapha? Can you send me a photo?
