These shorts are not the perfect shorts but they are the closest thing to perfect. As far as the padding, it is placed in the perfect position for me, they have the correct density of padding for me, the chamois could of been a little more narrower in between the legs while standing but the extra material isn't noticed while riding which is important, owning several different brands, i prefer these over the rest.

Definitely will buy again.

Assos put a lot of effort into this, it's 100% on par with their S11 bib shorts. Designed to be worn with other RS garments, the raw-cut sleeves are on point. Completes the kit with a proper form fitting layer and just about forms a bodysuit; the black fades perfectly into the bibs. I enjoy the details: low profile collar, slightly longer aero sleeve, small rubber flap protecting the zipper from damaging bibs, and rear pockets with an inner top flap of fabric to protect items from bouncing out. Haven't seen this on any other jersey. 100% recommended, and hopefully some brighter colors are on the way.

Liked these so much I got a second pair once they went on sale. Having used the RS11 bibs for 3 months straight of daily 20-30mi, elevation-filled endurance rides - I can confirm they're worth every penny. Bulletproof fabrics. Rotating between the two cuts my cycling gear laundry in half - these two pairs are the only new bibs I own. Sold or traded / gave away my Pro Team bibs, as someone else mentioned on here - once you try these everything else feels inferior. Have worn them in 60 to 100+ degrees F - unbelievably comfortable. With no base layer they're also comfortable, I was skeptical the straps would irritate me. Like wearing nothing but a chamois. Assos really nailed it with these, everything from the cut to the shaping and body support - I've never worn a better bib. Highly recommended.

I like these shorts. I've been a long time PI Pro short user. The company changed their Pro short design with the 2019 style year. These shorts are the 2022 style year with the extra inch or so at the waist. This helps to eliminate the "plumber's crack" feel. Though, be aware that these shorts still run lower in the torso that the 2018 or earlier style year. For me the legs are too grippy - they catch on my toes when I put them on. I also have to give them an extra tug and squat to get them fully on. The fabric is thin and is not as long wearing as past years but do last several seasons. I put over 7000 miles on my bike each year, so my shorts see a lot of saddle time. The chamois is the best I've found and that's what keeps me buying them. My wish is that they were lower priced.
