FR-C Pro Cargo Bib Short
A game-changing bib for long days in the saddle — breathable, secure, and zero chafing.

Why I Like It
These bibs completely solved my long-ride chafing issues. Before I found them, rides over 4 hours would shred my skin — now I can line up for back-to-back long rides or stage races and never worry. They’re tight and compressive, but super breathable and wick moisture incredibly well, even on hot days. The leg cargo pockets are a massive win — I keep my phone on the right, CO2s and a Dynaplug Racer Pro ↗ on the left, and use them to stash wrappers or trash mid-ride. Rear pockets get used for dual ice socks on extreme heat days. Zero sag, zero bounce, and you don’t notice the extra material that makes up the pockets.
Quick Specs
- Race-tight fit with long-distance comfort
- Minimal branding, sleek design
- Dual side-leg cargo pockets (secure and easy access)
- Dual lower-back pockets (perfect for ice socks)
- Excellent breathability and sweat-wicking
- Chamois built for serious hours in the saddle
In My Setup
- I’ve got 6 pairs — that’s how much I rely on them.
- I race and train in these — nothing else has matched the comfort.
- My go-to pairing: MAAP jersey ↗ and leg warmers if it’s cold.
- My blue pair has faded a bit after thousands of miles, but structurally they’re flawless.
- I use Chamois Butt’r ↗ in conjuction and never worry about chafing anymore.
Tips
- You don’t need to change anything about your setup — just use the leg pockets and wonder why you ever reached behind you mid-ride.
- I always carry plugs + CO2s in the side pockets — it’s especially useful in MTB races.
Who It’s For
Riders doing epic mileage, stage races, or just anyone sick of chafing. If you want a pro-fit bib with discreet cargo options and all-day comfort, these are hard to beat. Absolute staple for me.
