After recently getting back into cycling I started off with a 14 mile and an 11 mile on the first weekend. Needless to say, come Monday morning (Sunday morning actually) I was in no shape to be sitting on anything. Enter the Assos bib shorts, the next weekend I go out and ride 17 and 22 miles respectively, come Monday, I can sit at my desk, and act normal. Makes riding a breeze, the straps that purposefully go on the outside of your nipples is also a great touch. Order true to size, cannot put a value on having a great feeling bottom. I did some more research and turns out Assos doesn't need any glowing reviews. Here I am anyway dispelling any drawbacks you had of ordering one. Get it and get out there.
For years I've heard that Assos was the gold standard of bibs, so when these hit the market I decided to give them a try. The price point was great and I figured they would be a bargain at the price. I did not expect them to be as good as a pair costing significantly more, but I was really disappointed in what I experienced. First, the seams chafed me everywhere. Second, the material was not nearly as comfortable as any of my other bibs. The two times (and there won't be a third) I wore them I ended up with a rash on my thighs and as previously mentioned, chafing wherever there was a seam. These are easily the least comfortable bibs I own, and I will not purchase another pair of Assos at any price. I understand that other folks have had markedly different experiences with Assos and their reputation is stellar. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience.
All I heard for years was how Assos bibs were the gold standard. When the T Mille S7 dropped I figured the price was right and I'd fine them a shot. Bummer. The seams chafe and I end up with a rash every time I put them on. I won't do it again. I'll eat the cost because it was nobody's decision to buy them but mine. I'm sticking with the 3 pair of Castelli's I own which are far more comfortable to me.
These shorts have become the go-to choice for daily rides due to the quality of fabric, fit, and relatively nice feel in humid, hot weather. (Nothing feels perfect in humidity.) In addition, the shorts are well made, and I expect them to last for good, long time. The T Milleshort is competitively priced. Other Assos products are pricey. But in view of long-term wear, Assos products are likely worth the expense. I look for Assos first when shopping for cycling clothing.
Great bib shorts, saving them for Century rides.
I ride in this bib daily. It's great for short and long days in the saddle. VERY COMFORTABLE and looks great.
Fits perfect and true to my size, if you are looking for a new clothes this is the one that you need. I will definitely recommend this one!
These are great for short to medium distance rides, 8mm memory foam. Fantastic bibs and of course Assos quality!
Awesome bibs and great fit great price
Nice shorts but not the best Ive owned. Ive logged about 10-15 hours in them - outside and in Zwift. The legs are a bit short. Im an average build.
