The size chart above should serve as a general guide. If you would like assistance in determining the proper size, please send the following information to contact@desotosport.com.

WEIGHT - Accuracy helps us provide a more accurate size for you.
CHEST - Fullest part of breast, measured as the largest part of circumference right over the pectoral muscle.
WAIST -  Circumference measured at the belly-button line - this is NOT the same as your pants waist size.
HIPS - Circumference measured at the widest point, NOT at your hips where your belt may go. Typically this will measure just a few inches below your hip bones and around the largest part of the glutes.


 

If you do not have a tape measure and you need something to measure with, use a belt, or smart phone power cord, and a ruler.

This is the bib you want with the original 400-Mile™ pad that has made this our single best-seller.

Emilio gave these bicycling shorts and bibs the "400-Mile" name from product testing consisting of 400 miles over 4 days. His logic was that many shorts feel fine for 100+ mile rides. The real question is how does that saddle feel when you get on the bike the next morning for another 100 miles...and the next morning? This was the inspiration for the design, the pad, and the name.

Sizing: Please refer to the size chart button above for sizing guidance. 

Fit Type: Compressive
Fit Note - Customer feedback suggests ordering one size down from your DeSoto Trisuit size. The 400-Mile™ Cycling Bib Short is not as compressive as our Forza Trisuit. If in doubt email us at contact@desotosport.com

New Features:

  • We sewed the 14mm 400-Mile Pad™ Pad into the short, versus on top of the short. This allows the pad to stretch more, and float; which means it can be used as a race piece in a triathlon. On the bike, the pad stretches with the short and follows your skin as it moves with every pedal stroke, eliminating the friction that can cause irritation or rashes.
  • Seamless inner thigh eliminates friction against the saddle and thighs
Favorite Features Remain:
  • 13-panel bib short made of Forza Compressor fabric ensures a perfect fit, and targeted muscle support 
  • 3-inch Mobius™ Comfort Compression leg bands keep shorts in place without excess squeezing (no elastic!)
  • Sheer Mesh™ bibs straps keep you cool
  • Midsection Support – Our bibs come up a bit higher on the sides than other brands, to cover and tuck in obliques and abdomen. This provides a slimmer appearance and nice support around the mid-section.
  • 3 pockets: one on each outer thigh and one center back pocket that fit cell phones, smart phones, fuel packets, and most sunglasses
  • Curvilinear™ seamlines and contrast flatstitch highlight panel construction, create an attractive appearance and are extremely durable
  • Environmentally-friendly and completely free of solvents
  • Not recommended for repeated use in a chlorinated pool
  • Made in USA

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 400-MILE BIB SHORT AND THE MOBIUS CYCLING BIB?

    The Fabric:

    • The 400-Mile Cycling Bib is made of Forza Compressor Fabric with Liftfoil3 center panels - this fabric offers a nice snug compression for the ultimate benefits of muscle support, in delay of onset of fatigue and accelerated recovery.
    • The Mobius Cycling Bib is made of Mobius Comfort Compression Fabric throughout - this fabric is a little more stretchy, but it still offers some support and compression benefits.

    Similarities:

    • The 400-Mile Pad on both of the above is 14mm thick
    • Both Bibshorts have the same pockets in 3 locations
    • Both Bibshorts have same 3-inch leg bands made of Mobius Comfort Compression which eliminates the “sausage leg" squeeze found in other brands.

    Inseam lengths:

    •      Small: 8.75" (22.23cm)
    •      Medium: 9.25" (23.5cm)
    •      Large: 9.75" (24.77cm)
    •      XLarge: 10.25" (26.04cm)
    •      XXLarge: 10.75" (27.31cm)
    •      2XL available in Solid Black only

    Inseam Note  - Shorter Leg Length than other brands: Have you seen the length of the shorts that riders have been wearing in Europe lately, especially in the Grand Tours? As opposed to most brands here in the states, which come just above the knees, our shorts are comfortably shorter. Our inseam is similar to those currently used by the pros in the Grand Tours. They have no gripper elastic, yet stay in place and do not bind or squeeze the legs, which is crucial once you get to the run segment of a triathlon.

        Why did I ever try other brands?

        Alright. In the early 2000’s I did 16 Ironmans with De Soto bike shorts and tri gear. Worked perfectly fine and for some STUPID reason I got scammed into trying other brands. I have a drawer full of fancy smancy bibs that just plain do not work! On a whim of frustration I decided to go back to De Soto. Wahlah problems fixed. As the old saying goes, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it! Exceptional !

        The Best!

        I only wear these 400 mile cycling bibs. I have been using these for years. I must have 10 or more pairs. They are that good. And the quality is second to none! I still wear the first pair I ever bought and it hasn’t lost any of its cushiness! Love these bibs!

        New kit

        Once again De Soto has delivered! The 400 mile cycling bibs fit great and look great with the retro jersey. Thank you for your attention to detail and quality. And the overall aesthetic of your clothing is fantastic!

        very comfortable

        These bibs are great! It fits right, true to size. Very comfortable chamois and soft material. These are my second shorts from DeSoto and I hope they last as long as my first shorts.

        Very nice bibs

        Love tue fit and feel. It is top notch. Live the cargo pockets and the material is super breathable and comfortable on hot days. I only took off 1 star because I would prefer the chamois to be more dense on the sit bones to have a little more break around the perineum area.

        Great

        Very comfortable. Great quality. Love the stretchy shoulder straps that accommodate my slightly taller upper body with no problems (surprisingly this is not a given for most other brands).

        Love the 400 mile pad

        It's easy to order through the website. These are the only shorts/bibs I use

      • I will never buy another brand of bibs

        I will never buy another brand of bibs

        Simply the best bibs I have ever worn. I am HARD on my gear - and these things hold up. I’ve only killed one pair - and that was a high speed descent on a rain slicked mountain road in Vermont - that went sideways.
