The sale price was right. These Thermal shorts fit as great as the thermal,PI, 3/4 bib tights do. Great for the cooler weather here in the north country. The chamois is super thick and gives great comfort for however long my rides are. I've ordered a 2nd pair of the thermal,3/4 bibs. No knee warmers needed with them. PI makes great thermal clothing with a terrific chamois.
I was looking for a jacket that would keep me warm in the 30s and 40s (F.) and this one is more than up to the task. Even with a minimal base layer, it has kept me comfy down to near-freezing temps. I imagine I could wear it into the 20s were I inclined to ride in such cold. Wind protection is excellent. It gets plenty warm when the mercury rises to 50 but even then dropping the zipper a bit helps a lot. My wife even says it looks good on me!
I use these for cooler days and couldn't be more pleased. The sizing I can always depend on with Assos unlike other competitors. The chamois is high quality even for long rides. If the temperature rises some they aren't so warm that they are uncomfortable. Priced similar to other quality products and Bike Tire is always easy to deal with. Very pleased.
I've used mille gt/gts over the years (s5, s7, s9) but decided to try equipe finally as the mille padding has gotten even thicker over time (too thick?). Overall these are my new favorite bibs. The pad still provides good comfort but doesn't get in the way, and seems to stay under my sit bones better in more aggressive positions. A little tighter than the same size in mille but I really like the extra compression and raw cut openings. Have used for 3 hour trainer rides which is a real achievement, looking forward to nicer weather to test outside. Normal leg length is fine for me, 5'11"
