Looking for another line of clothing. Anyone here uses this brand and this particular model? I have been happy with ASSOS products but I thought I give another brand a try.

If you happen to use or have both Sugoi and Assos products, please need your input or comments.

I was not impressed with the RSE. I was a huge fan of the RS. I do not like the new chamois nor the material lay up. I really liked the RS dimple material.

Oh ... and Sugoi took away the MP3 pocket.

What is the MP3 pocket?

Their jerseys used to be miles too short @ the back, but they have corrected that, I believe. The shorts do last a very long time and are quite comfortable.

Our team(s) - Pinnacle Bike Works and www.cyclocrossworld.com Grassroots Team - are using Sugoi for kit.

So far, the stuff has been comfortable and durable. The sizing is a little different than some other manufacturers so try before you buy.

Team kit last year was Sugoi. RS bibs were a pleasant surprise especially at team pricing. My favorite bibs.

I have not tried the RSE model.

Assos-I gave up after my last F1 purchase some years ago. Nice fit and comfort but far too many quality problems and the retail price is nuts.

Thanks for your comments. That brings me to another question. I wear Large on Assos and I love the fit. I was told that the Sugoi are true sizes. This means that I need a medium size.

I hear you. I can't afford to keep buying Assos. :crap:

I wear a Large in Assos and needed an XL in Sugoi. The larges were just a little snug. I also wear a Large in Garneau shorts and Voler shorts if that helps at all.

If you can, (and please pardon the repetition) try them on before you buy. Some guys have had to "size up" and some guys have been able to wear the same size.
