The BCBE-ING Cycling Bib Shorts offer excellent value for money, with a comfortable Elastic Interface pad that can last about 7 hours and useful features like side pockets. However, sizing runs extremely small, and the chamois may not be the genuine Elastic Interface pad shown in photos, though it remains rideable for shorter sessions.

Bibs; seem made very well. Material seems a bit thicker than YKYW, Darevie bibs. The legs are long! I’m 5’5” 125lbs and the smallest size fits like a glove perhaps even a little too snug. The ad shows a legit IE pad, in person it looks like a cheap knockoff. I rode about 90 minutes on the trainer with it. It’s not the EI Paris hp from the photos, but it’s not offensive to ride with.
