They are pricy but are very comfortable. They will run a bit small on the sizes (normal for Euro products). The insert is a bit odd and if you didn't know you would think they forgot to sew the sides but that's the way they do it and has been comfortable so far. Assos is always expensive so on that count they don't disappoint.
Im a huge Castelli fan and for the most part never had fit issues but thought I would give these a go and see what the hype is all about. Fantastic fit, well made and stylish. The price has been a hangup but depending on the longevity could be worth the small up charge. I really think I need a second pair for further investigation, lol.
I've used Assos for a number of years, but am always tempted to try other products. Recently bought some Rapha bibs, and while they were great the first year, they simply did not hold up beyond 12-18 months. I have a couple Assos bibs that are 5 years old and still usable. Will be going to Assos exclusively for high end bibs
I have been wearing ASSOS bib shorts for the last 20 plus years and these are the best yet. The perforated chamois is excellent.
Perfect bibs I am 6'1, 210. The XL fits well. Average ride is 30 with lots of hills.
Yes, Assos are expensive. Very expensive. But they are well-worth the money if you value comfort and a product that will last longer than anything else on the market. I've got Assos bibs that are 15 years old. NONE of my other bibs (Castelli, ProCorsa, Louis Garneau, Pearl Izumi) last more than 4 or 5 years, at best. Be sure to wash them in mild detergent, and hang them to dry, and you'll get many, many seasons out of them.
As for comfort, here too, Assos is the best, hands down. In your sensitive spots, on your thighs, over your shoulders, everywhere, Assos are simply an order of magnitude more comfortable than any other brand I have worn. The newer models do not come up as high on the hips as some of their older models. But, once you're wearing them, you will not notice this, and, it makes a mid-ride bio break much easier.
If you cannot justify the cost in the short term, save up your points to buy a pair. You will not regret it.
Every ASSOS item I have has performed extremely well and worn well. Yes they are expensive however they outlast most other shorts that are only a few dollars less, good return on investment!
My favorite bibs, I now own three pair. The chamois shape up front makes the difference for me.
Nice bibs, would have given five stars except they are a very tight L. Tighter than I like.
6� 220 no gut and xxl fits perfect. No scratchy seams or tags. My preferred bibs for longest rides.
what a difference, even from mid-level bibs. Makes long rides that much more enjoyable. For me, it's a worthwhile investment for the long rides.
Fit well, work well on every type of ride - gravel or road.
Fit true to sizing, comfortable, good chamois.
This product is exceptional. Snug but not tight, extra room for the boys and because the pad floats it stays where it belongs.
Ride my first century and all was great with bibs!
