Dang, I'm 6'3 and I weigh 150 lbs. The only bibs that work for me are Assos size L, tried the Rapha Pro Team Lightweight for the same size and they were waaaay too tight. I ended up returning the bibs. I guess you just get used to using bibs that are shorter than normal.

I'm 6ft 6inhs tall and 100kg, I find Ribble XL a perfect fit.

I am 4cm taller and 6-7 kg heavier so the shoulder straps have more area to go over [emoji38]
I am still hoping for more suggestion. Maybe some of the stylish Aussie brands like Maap, Black Sheep, etc?
Pedal mafia. They have decent length uppers.

I'm 6'4 and 160-165, more leg than torso, and had a hard time finding bib shorts that didn't look ridiculous. I found Pactimo Summit Raptor 2.0 Pro this year and haven't looked back. I now have three pairs. The straps fit me fine, not too snug. Surprisingly, I went with a M and the fit is superb.

They don't ride up as much as other bibs. The chamois isn't too bulky, not the best I've ever used, but I'll take the trade-off for having bibs that fit. Search for promo codes before ordering, they usually have sales also. No I'm not affiliated with Pactimo, just went through the long road of bib shorts, so I know the pain.
