Good evening all,

Just checking out which manufacturers produce their bibs with fairly short legs, now I am not looking a pair that look like Kylies gold hot pants but I find that being a shorter bloke, that most brands are quite generous in the leg.


Cheers

    The shortest bibs I have are a pair of Specialized RS7 shorts, I'm not sure if all the Specialized bib shorts tend to have a short leg length but the RS7 are a good couple of inches shorter than other brands which I use.

    Seem to remember Santini Slice ones are a bit shorter in the leg, am sure the Prendas site used to describe them as such but has changed lately.

    Triathilon shorts usually have shorter inseams for whatever reason.

    Assos F1 Mille are the shortest ones I've had.
    I\'m sure I had one of those here somewhere

    I've just got a pair of deMarchi contours and they are pretty short - I like mine quite long so I may be being fussy

    Me too-sometimes I'm a little bashful to be seen in mine. Is that short enough for you?

    Endura FS260 Pro are the shortest I have tried. The basic FS260 is a tad longer but still shorter than all other brands I have tried.

    Don't go for Pearl Izumi, they're an excellent short but about 2-3 in longer us shorties need that good tan line :D

    Prendas do some Santini bibs that are cut 3 cm shorter than normal;

    I'd second the Endura FS260 Pro.. definitely much shorter than average. The fabric is great too, the pad isn't as good as some, but a good buy I'd say.

    Castelli Free are pretty short, excellent to boot.

    I find the FS260 Pro very short too, in comparison to my Lusso and Cannondale bibs. Also the leg grippers are rather tight making them good for skinny legs.

    Don't most online retailers give you the inseam length in their little blurb about the product?
    If not it would seem that the makers website would.
