Assos T bib shorts?

[madbiker]

Can anyone comment on the quality of this model from Assos? I know it is one of their lower end bibs...
thanks

I can't vouch for the specific model your asking about but I've been wearing Assos bibs/shorts and body suits for 16 years and quality has been hit or (mostly) miss. Biggest problem has been the reliability of the stitching, some which has come apart after just one ride.

Saying that, they are the best *arn cycling apparel out there as far as comfort & fit.

I now keep the Assos bibs for 70+ mile rides. DeMarchies are becoming my favs (stitching is holding up after close to a year of use) for shorter rides but I'm going to give the top of the line Sugoi bibs a try as soon as the weather warms up some.

I've done the Castellis and $190+ bibs. The last two century rides were in Performance bibs ($59) and PI Ultrasensor ($100) and no worries. My Castellis and Specialized have quality issues.
As much as I like bibs, I still almost always reach for shorts, unless it's really cold out.
