Rapha Men's Brevet Element Cargo Bib Shorts

Rapha Brevet Element Cargo Bib Shorts

The London brand Rapha, founded by Simon Mottram in 2004, has always revolved around road cycling. This passion is evident in the men's cargo bib shorts from the Brevet Element collection. Brevet is Rapha's line designed for long rides, where you set off early in the morning and count the kilometers in hundreds. With the cargo design, your snacks, phone, or keys are always within reach, so you don’t have to dig deep into your jersey's back pocket.

The shorts are made from recycled polyester blended with elastane, allowing them to stretch with every pedal stroke without any restrictions. The regular fit sits naturally, and the bib keeps the shorts in place without any fastenings, while the elastic leg hems stay in place even after hours in the saddle. The main advantage is the side pockets on the legs, where you can stash an energy gel or your phone, easily accessible even while riding. The Plum/White colorway with prints and embroidery looks striking yet clean, making it easy to match with your jersey or windbreaker. Among men's sports shorts, these are one of the most practical choices for long distances, gravel, and bikepacking.
