Impossible to get on without turning the leg gripper material up, and once on the elastic backing does a poor job of keeping it tight leaving it baggy at the bottom.
I agree. Just tried my pair on and I'm pretty sure bibshorts shouldn't be flared. Maybe a defective batch with baggy elastic? I have the classic and pro team thermal bibshorts in the same size (small) and they fit fine.

It's like the main part of the bib was designed with the usual Rapha attention to detail, and then they got the work experience lad on secondment from the Lidl cycling range to do the leg gripper
