Bibs wearing out...? Ouch!

[OtayBW]

Hello -

After ~1 year's wear, the last 2 pairs of bibs that I've had (Assos and Gore) have met their demise by losing all support in the...well, by losing all support. Everything else is perfect: compression, seams, fabric, fit, chamois - all good - but after getting some miles in on them, they get to a point where I just about have to get off the bike to adjust myself every ~25mi. It ain't good....

Don't remember this happening so much in the past. Is this normal? Thoughts?

I just had to retire 2 bibs (Capo and Vermarc) after 2 years because they felt loose where they should feel TYTE. Leaves me with an inadequate complex.

There is nothing like breaking open a new set of bibs that fit really well though.
