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.

      • Mark Theiding

        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).

        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.

        Simply The Best!

        Over the last several years, these 400 mile bib-shorts have been my only “go to” for logging 150+ miles per week. On road, off-road, mountain bike… Doesn’t matter. they are the perfect combination of comfort, support, and technical superiority. The best thing I can say about them is that you simply forget you’re wearing them. It’s the only thing I own in this category… A++

        Wow!

        These shorts fit great, last long, and - can take punishment. I had three pretty tough crashes at this year’s Belgian Waffle Ride. Broke my thumb, filleted both knees - but these shorts held up. You can’t even tell that I crashed. Been using them for a few years - when a pair that I ordered never arrived (was stolen off the front porch) Customer Service sent me another pair for free. Since that occurrence three years ago, De Soto is the only cycling wear that I buy.

        Still the best long distance bib I have found

        I have purchased a pair of these every other cycling season (or there about) and have been consistently impressed by the way these bibs age. Despite being pretty hard on them and not really sticking to their washing instructions as much as I should they have held up very well, they retain most of the compression, the padding stays fluffy and centrally located. I have not has as much as a broken seam thread in 5 years ( and if there is an issue DeSoto's repair team is impressively fast). I recommend these to everyone I know that I know. The quality justifies the investment many times over in my experience.

        Solid bib

        These bib shorts hold up well and the sham is super comfortable. No irritation. No rubbing. Second pair. Always wait for the sale and then jump on it

        Great bib

        Got a set of bibs and shorts after having such good luck with the tri suit. Pad is awesome, fit great.

        Long Days in the Saddle

        Excellent bibs. I have a pair from 2010, and the latest version performs just as well. Often used for long days (8-12 hrs) bikepacking. The only upgrade I can see possible, would be the addition of a ‘fly’ much like the Riviera Tr Bib.

        I love these bib shorts

        They fit like a glove, great padding but not bulky. I’m going to purchase another pair

        400-Mile Cycling Bib Shorts

        I was very excited to get a pair of DeSoto bibs. They came highly recommended by one of my most respected cycling teammates. The material is high quality and sturdy. The one thing I don't like is there is no rubber lining around the bottom of the legs. The bibs tend to wrinkle and hike up my quads during a long ride. I live in San Francisco and most of my rides are in the cold while I'm wearing knee warmers. The legs on these bibs hike up especially easily while on top of the knee warmers. I’ll still wear the DeSotos since they were so expensive but it’s a hassle (and unsafe) to have to pull down the legs while riding. I was hoping to be happier with these bibs but I’m not. Maybe future versions would have some kind of lining to prevent this.

        Smooth fitting

        This one of the best bibs I’ve ever used. Fits perfectly and the feeling of the compression panels is great. Highly recommended

        as previous, great bib shorts

        I love these shorts. I have been riding w/ DeSoto for 10 yrs and they are my go-to bib shorts. great quality, chamois, fit. I couldn't ask for more in my bike kit closet.

        These are great!

        Husband owns and loves his 400-mile cycle short, so I gave him the bib shorts for his birthday. He tried them on and said, "“these bib shorts are great!”. Originally he tried the large but returned for medium which fit him better. For size reference, he’s 6’ and weighs 178 lbs.

        Great product!

        I love the comfort of the 400 mile cycling bibs. The back and side pockets make it easy to keep my go to stuff close. I am on my 4th pair and don’t want anything else for my long rides! And finally a big thank you for supporting military members!

        Can’t go wrong with these bibs!

        This is my 3rd pair of these bibs and I’m always 100% satisfied. They have gotten me through Ironman distance rides, two Ride Across Wisconsin events of 175 and 225 miles respectively and I have never once had any problems. They are the best bibs I’ve ever used. Thank you for making such an excellent product.

        Good value bibs

        Overall, these are nice bibs. They weren’t super-comfortable to start (a 100 mile ride) but I forgot about them after a few hours. Which makes them quality bibs. Not sure the 400 mile moniker is warranted.
