Bibs with solid compression, recommendation?

[weisan]

I like bibs with good solid compression, any recommendation?

[jtbenson]

i've found when i'm feeling like i want (need?) compressive properties, i reach for either assos rs (or gto) or velocio base model bibs (forget the model name, everyday, or some such?)
edit: velocio 'foundation' is the model name

Second Velocio for compression. You do have to size down bc their sizing is odd. I like mine.

I've got a couple of the Pearl Izumi Pro bibs which are the most snug to get on out of any bibs ive ever owned. Comfortable and compressive!

If the sizing works for you then the Castelli Free Aero RC bibs provide nice compression and are generally well-made.

Velocio also works great in this regard, but I'm not a fan of the pad used in the lower models. The Concept bibs are a different story and I've found them to be quite comfortable.

The Ritte race bibs immediately make me an inch taller and 7 pounds lighter. Highly recommended.

would you say compression is similar, foundation to concept?
(i've only ridden foundation, and agree the pad is the weak link.)

I'd say that they are similar. The concept pattern is a bit more complex and I feel like the compression is distributed more evenly. I recall foundation being less consistent.

Wei have you tried Giordana?
Long time favorites of mine and I feel nice and snug in them.

very helpful insight, thank you

Pearl Izumi Pro

I’ve found that the top of the line from the high end brands are more compressive.

I think the Superleggera is just a bit more compressive than the Free Aero, though I'd probably pick the Free Aero myself. I like the Premio Black best but it's the least compressive of the 3.

The fabric of the Velocio bibs I've had was nice but so far I haven't felt like their bibs overall last as long as some of the others and they're not cheap. I haven't had the Concepts though just the Luxe and whatever the one below it is called.

Yep. Giordana NX-G are as good as they get. Pricey but worth it. I have about five of them.

I like the MAAP Team Bib Evo.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far, I have not tried any one of them, I will be doing some googling and comparison.
