It's important to note first the sizing runs small. In most other brands a wear a small but in this tight a medium is snug yet fits nicely. The fit is comfortable with the right size. The material is stretchy and doesn't bunch. The pad has density where I sit and pressure relief where I want it. I wore these down to mid 20's and stayed comfortable all the way up to mid 40's. For me, I'm very pleased with the comfort, warmth, and breathability.
The one performance complaint is with noise. One of the materials is a little noisy. It's a minor issue for an otherwise really high performing tight.
Overall for the performance that you're getting this is a reasonable value.
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"
