I like these tights overall and have a few hundred miles in them. Two minor complaints, the seam around the knee is a tad bulky and the chamois is cut with a front pouch like easment like most Assos chamois (which I like). Yet the lycra stretched over the front is so tight in almost negates the cuckoo's nest. While in the riding position in these is tolerable but noticably different than my other Assos mille bibs with the same chamois.
I bought these in a mens Large and I normally wear a Medium in Assos bibs but these Larges are as tight as I dare go. The length is good and the compression feels medium. I am 6'-1" and 170#.
Temperature comfort is variable and subjective. While one rider can ride in shorts another (me) needs something warmer. I tend to prefer starting a ride a little light dressed and slightly uncomfortable, knowing once I warm up in a few miles I'm fine. So I've worn these from low 50 F down to 28 F and they are comfortable across that range. Temperature comfort without restricting motion.
I ride 150-200 miles per week so they get plenty of exposure time for a fair test. As construction, workmanship and seat padding comfort go, Assos are second to none in my experience. Well worth the premium price.
Tights are top QUALITY,great pad.
Very high quality bib tights for winter riding. Has a comfortable chammy, fits great and keeps you warm on winter rides.
This is my third pair of Assos winter bibs. It fits great, the material quality and construction are awesome. Keeps me warm during the early morning winter rides here in California without overheating me when it gets warmer towards the end of my ride. I've tried other brands, but they don't compare. This is my favorite winter riding gear.
Best tights for winter riding I've ever owned.
The most expensive bib tights I've purchased but if they last a couple or more winters they will be worth it. Tight without being restrictive and great pads.
