Rode the cargo bib shorts this long weekend on several routes, there’s also a review on road.cc now (with two alternatives). Got a medium being about 175cm and 68-70kg, which is for my legs a rather tight fit, different coming from Gore bike shorts, all of them I have are more ‚loose‘. On the shoulders very comfortable, made in Italy, great.
Pockets are the reason to get them, so I rode on my usual hills, 20-25°C and sunny, and carrying on the right the phone (now all the time accessible maps) and on the left 2 x 5 Euros for beer or wine (not spent). The phone gets wet a little bit or condensation is happening - the Euros were soft sweaty wet.
Sometimes I put the phone on the back pockets of the shirt, and later on I searched for it in the bib leg bags. So muscle memory worked already. I can imagine the pockets are great for gloves and other cold season things. Also for short stashing things when coming home or going out, and later move on to the back pockets.
It is a gimmick, jersey back pockets have still my vote, but on the other hand using a jacket, rucksack, those bib bags may come in more use.
