The Scott Pro Cargo Women’s Bib Shorts are women’s gravel bib shorts designed for rides where comfort and on-the-bike storage matter as much as support.

They feature two cargo pockets on the thighs, using a firmer fabric to hold contents securely against the leg. Our test sample was the purple colourway; black is also available within the Scott range.

The build favours a soft, supple feel and is less compressive than a very road- or race-focused bib short. The women’s cut rises fairly high at the waist for a comfortable, unrestrictive fit.

Tested by GravelPassion

On gravel, the bib shorts proved very comfortable, with a stable chamois despite the supple main fabric. The cargo pockets work well, but the lack of rear pockets limits capacity when worn with a pocketless T-shirt.
