Get em while they're hot
And they'll be even more limited soon, as they're violating their dealer's agreement with Q36-5. European "stockists" are not allowed to sell direct to American customers as Above Category is the exclusive North American distributor.

Looks like it's the company's website.

Fascinated to try these bibs at some point. Last of the top ends to go through before I decide on a favorite.
OP, maybe track/sprinter quadzillas are causing some rubbing? I would take that problem despite my hatred of bike noise... |

Don't think you'll regret trying these. Assos are top of the line good stuff but I find these a notch higher. Again, l have found the L1 and Miles to be the best. The different pad in the Vented was not step up for me.

Can you say more about what that means for sizing? I've flirted with buying a pair, but at this pricing I want to be as on target as possible with sizing. Their sizing chart puts me squarely between XL and XXL (yup, clyde....)

Oh, man they ship via UPS? Let us know how it goes with the fees.... there should not be any customs since it's cycling gear but they are known for placing fees, etc. I will be on the same boat as I placed an order too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

But yes, at a minimum, the essentials and dottores are much more compressive than other shorts. The Rapha Classics feel like baggies by comparison. |

Dang with all this new bib chat I wanted to try them as well. I have a bunch of Amazon credit but they won't let you use amazon dot com credit on amazon dot de.

When I rode Reno to Mendocino (375 miles with 30K climbing or so on gravel and asphalt) I brought a pair of Asso. I have to admit I never wore them. Instead, I opted to wear a very dirty L1 bib that I wore for 8hrs of riding the previous day. Flash that was probably what that smell was....
The guy who wore Asso got a Saddle sore. I was fine. Just some friendly ribbing.

Anybody who rides a Specialized with 4 functional gears deserves whatever happens to them.

Maybe I ordered the wrong size in the end. My "muscles" are rippling out through them. Man these things are TOIGHT. Ermmm...compressive. and longer than I expected.
They feel very shh shh shh smooth to the touch but I won't be able to address the OP until my first ride in them, Thursday when I land in cali. Sorry OP! |

Does anyone know why Oakley stopped making those sunglasses? I never picked up a pair when they were being made and now annoyed that none of their frames look as good.
