I have tried a few and most recent I bought these:
Logas Cycling Bib Shorts Men... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4KVHH2P...p_mob_ap_share

They work well and can definitely ride as long as I want with them. Many factors to measure here, saddle/bike fit, ect. Overall I would recommend a try.

I have branded bibs most recent a Rapha core that lasted 2 rides before de-stiching at the pad. I could not find the receipt so didn't send it back but it was not any better.

My favorite brand is Suarez, they make some amazing quality "affordable" kits. Their best bib I like is around $100 and it's ages above many major brands.

This is the problem, a pair of bibs that have already been worn, even once, are not worth 50% off and would otherwise be a donation item. And yet I see people on here still ask way too much in the classifieds for name brand bibs that were overpriced to begin with when they were new.

Definitely depends on the buyer. I’m cheap and have no problem buying used bibs or shorts, but I’m not as concerned with hygiene in that way. Washed appropriately they’re fine going forward.

I have a couple of pair of Assos bibshorts that I acquired used and have probably worn 50 times. Love ‘em.

As good as they are, I certainly agree that they’re overpriced at MSRP, though. I’m not paying that.
