Assos

I have tried a lot of bibs from different brands and sizes. My legs are short relative to my long torso. These fit very well. I bought a few pairs overtime. They seem to last forever.. They are great in the extreme heat of Texas in the summer but also good into the cooler days before it's time to put on something a little warmer.. I recommend these to friends and people that ask about bibs. One last thing: the Thai bars on the bib straps working incredibly well. No more trying to un-twist both bib straps as you put them on.

I had a previous pair of Assos Mille C2 shorts and the S11 are definitely an improvement. They feel much more comfortable to me. I will say i feel like the shorts I received were not necessarily in "used" condition but had some stains on the exterior butt area. The inner paper wrap & clear plastic binder were not with these shorts, that come with a new Assos product, so I am assuming they were a return. They didn't appear damaged, so I simply washed them which I would have done anyway.

I didn't find these shorts to be any improvment over the previous version. The fabric is lighter and the way they fit was different. They fit fine when standing but actually constricted slightly around the upper leg when seated on a bike. Didn't really notice any difference other than the color in the Pad. I own three pairs of the previous version and really liked them. I will probably not be purchasing any additional pairs because of the change in the fabric and fit.

The finest piece of athletic wear I have ever purchased. As my weekly riding miles have reached a more serious level this year, I have tried several reputable name brand cycling shorts and still have had problems in the 'chamois area.' This Assos Men's Mille GTS Bib Shorts S11 finally solved that. The chamois makes skin contact but does not chafe. The leg movement is 'absorbed' or rubs internally in the chamois and not chafe/rub your skin. The chamois fits firm but not tight. Several times in the saddle for over 100 miles during a ride (with chamois cream) since purchasing them and felt no discomfort'none!

The longer leg length was also a good choice for me. The legs add some compression yet never felt tight in any area.
