Battle of the Budget Bibs - Przewalski vs The Black Bibs vs Souke Sports (Review)

Looking to try cycling bibs but don't want to spend a ton of money? In this video, I compare three budget cycling bibs from Przewalski (Amazon), The Black Bibs, and Souke Sports. This is a long term review - I've been riding in these bibs for four months. I'll compare the pros & cons and settle The Battle of the Budget Bibs!

Great detailed real world long term review. I recently tried off brand bibs and shorts with some Santic ones and wasn't that impressed. I've since ordered some cheap Pearl Izumi Quest shorts, not bibs, that were on sale and expect them to be much better and were cheaper, because they were on sale.

Awesome review! I once bought those same Amazon bibs, and despite the "Amazon's Choice" banner over the ad, I also hated them. They felt too "vacuum packed" for my lower half. I've purchased The Black Bibs as well and really liked them-great for long rides bc the chamois is PRIME!! however, I don't love the lack of grip on the legs. If I remember correctly I paid about $45 for them. I could have (should have) paid just $10ish more for the leg grippers. Lastly- bibs in wash is fine. bibs in dryer is cardinal sin!!

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Yeah, I know I shouldn’t throw them in the dryer - this was a stress test of sorts. Wanted to beat them up to see if they held together. The premium Black Bibs are really nice, as well as the Souke Sports premium bibs.

When I started riding a bike, I had like 5 or 6 pairs of bib shorts. Today, I only have 2 or 3, I usually use the Assos brand. Less but better!

The black bibs look very similar to a cheaper brand here in australia called Neopro. no grippers but hold the leg very well, very comfortable, and at 90 bucks australian, cheaper by a significant margin than anything else on the market. I havent tried any true high end bibs (400+ AUD over here), but unless they massage my shoulders while I ride, I cant see them being that much better.

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Yeah, I’m getting all I need out of the sub-$100 (USD) bibs. I can’t see what the really expensive ones have to offer.

[@mikebrooks215]

Tried those neopro ones. Best thing I can say about them is that I can feel every contour of my smp saddle. Tinelli are far superior and only a little more expensive.

Good review. I have the Amazon bibs and 2 pairs of the Black Bibs; the latter are more comfortable and perform well on those longer rides. My 2nd pair of Black (well, blue) I went for the ones with the pockets and the upgraded chamois. Those also have the leg grippers and typically I reach for those first. Thanks for an informative review on these products!

[@ericbarnettcycling]

I got the upgraded Black Bibs (no pockets). Those are the ones I used for the 200 mile race. They’re the first ones I grab!

[@gearmonger8616]

All of these of good for short rides or indoor stuff over the short run. When you get out and get some real mileage on them they start to fail. You have to move up to the Ultimate in the Black Bib to get something that will last, and that still seems miles behind the real stuff. It's a shame that you really can't get premium features in bibs for a bargain price. By the time you buy all three or five of the decent bargain brands, you could have bought one of the premiums that are sadly just better.

[@ericbarnettcycling]

I did get the ultimate Black Bibs (review coming soon) and those are definitely the best ones I own! I have done about 4 centuries in the normal ones, though. The ultimates are worth the upgrade price, for sure!

Awesome review! Thank you for comparing budget ones. Which company do you prefer your jersey's from?

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thank you, Michael. I also prefer jerseys from Black Bibs. I’m partial to cycling jerseys that are simple colors & don’t have a lot of logos or crazy patterns. Black Bibs jerseys fit me well & are very reasonably priced. What do you prefer?
