The Flyweight Bib Shorts have been specifically designed for cycling and training in hot and humid conditions. With an 80% polyester and 20% elastane combination fabric, they are light and breathable, featuring a thin mesh upper section with a cut away at the front to keep you cool. The material offers a soft four-way stretch to allow for maximum movement, and they have been treated with Coldblack, which reduces the build-up of heat by reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed by the fabric. The chamois pad is the same perforated, quick drying one used in the Pro Team Lightweight Bib Shorts -  it runs on the thin side here, as the aim of these shorts is to save weight where possible.

The Flyweight Bib Shorts are available in six colours: black/black, white/black, dark blue/green, dark grey, dark Navy and high vis pink. On each design, the Rapha logo is printed on the side of the left leg. To ensure a smooth finish, the seams have bonded elastic binding, so there is no chafing from a rough seam, and the lightweight silicone dot gripper is there to try to prevent the shorts from riding up regardless of how hard you peddle.

These shorts  are incredibly lightweight and so fine on the skin, it is almost like they have been made from nylon tights. The chamois could be a deal breaker for some, though, as it is a little thin and could become uncomfortable over very long distances. As for keeping you cool, these Bibs perform very well; the breathable and wicking material combined with that perforated chamois makes them an ideal choice for humid and hot rides. These shorts are quality through and through, as is often the case with Rapha products. RRP £160
