Description
Comfort at Every Layer
Engineered with the most responsive multi-density insert to date, the Mille GT Bibshort GTO is the pinnacle of comfort. Friction and excessive pressure on long-distance rides are a thing of the past thanks to reversed-stitch lines and a radically reshaped insert.
Warp-knit OSSIDIA textile delivers a silky-smooth wrap along your lower back and thighs. The front panel is made with all-new LOSANGA to eliminate pressure against sensitive areas. The straps and leg panels use rollBar construction while a one-piece Butterfly panel delivers on stability. Each leg panel features louvreTec darts, which taper down the outside of each thigh for a custom, compressive hold.
The Assos Men's Mille GT Summer Bib Shorts feature the all-new Mille GTO C2 Insert. Constructed with stitch-free goldenGate side panels and superlight sundeck foam for frictionless comfort. A preshaped cup both supports the male anatomy and promotes maximum ventilation, with the twin21 system and reversed seams for ultimate comfort.
The GTO has two leg lengths: STANDARD and LONG (+3cm vs standard).
Features:
- MILLE GTO C2 Insert is made up of microshock, filterfoam, and 3D waffle
- Lightweight Microshock foam uses only 11mm for proven shock-absorbing stability
- Lower-density matrix Filterfoam fully absorbs microvibrations and excess moisture
- Perforated 3D Waffle foam increases breathability and eliminates extra weight
- Raw-cut, tape-reinforced zeroWaist delivers smooth transition between body and fabric
- SuperFlat X-FRAME delivers limited vertical stretch in the rear
- Raw-cut skinGrip finish uses minimal silicone to secure the shorts without the pressure

Reviews
Construction, fit and feel are superb with this bib short. The pad, arguably the most important element, may be controversial since it is relatively thick....even very thick. But its nicely made and stays in place regardless of riding the bike or walking around. I found the pad a little too thick for my anatomy, at least in the perineal area, and I prefer the thinner version in the non C2 bib (ordinarily Mille bib). But that doesn't mean this C2 pad is too thick, because it is well liked by many who own and swear by it. The pad is like many clothing garments and items, we all have a preferences. The GTO C2 is a fine bib and one that I think should be tried first before buying, if its possible which is probably not the case. Even so, it's entirely wearable so one is not likely to be disappointed to the point of leaving it in the drawer.
I purchased the long version and it ends just above the knee. I like the longer length. The compression is very good. The chamois is indeed thicker, 'plusher' as Assos says. You definitely notice it when you put it on. I had my doubts it might be too much, but after a 60+ mile ride through the hill country it did its thing, i.e. disappeared and no trouble during or after the ride. Simply a quality piece of gear, and the gold accent is nice. 5' 9" 172 lbs, age 60+ and medium fits well. I went ahead and ordered the Equipe RSR S9 Targa as well.
Finally, Assos has come out with a bib short for a tall, thin guy, like me. I had gotten the impression that Swiss riders must all be short stocky guys with large quads, based on previous Assos bibs I've tried. I was anxious to try these as soon as I saw they were being offered in a long length, but I've been disappointed with expensive shorts before, so I did not want to lay out the $xxx list price for these. Even though the WesternBike sale price I got them for was still up there ($xxx.xx), if they hold up, it will have been worth it. These shorts certainly have the thickest pad I have had on any shorts, but I guess the designers did substantial testing before incoporating it in these bibs. I have had no issues with chafing, and find the extra padding very comfortable. I am 6'2" 170lbs, 34" waist. Either a large or med fits, but I prefer the compression of the medium, and previous Assos large have gotten looser with use, especially around the leg opening. The straps are a little tighter in the medium when I stand up, but not terribly so, and not noticeable in riding position.
I'm a 57 yr old enthusiast and ride about 160 miles a week average including 60 mile Texas hill country weekend rides. The thick chamois is super comfy. Assos standard cut is a bit short, so opted for the longer leg for extra coverage in the hard TX sun. Well-ventilated and slightly compressive. Great pricing from Western made this a no brainer!
Warning, this pad will ruin you for anything else. It looks too thick, but rides just right. At 5' 8" 148 pounds, the size chart listed here indicates Small which I find is spot on. I'm not at all long limbed for my size, but the long version finally solved the problem of hem line creep of the otherwise exemplary Cento bibs. Expensive so wait for the sale but definitely worth the wait.
I'm really enjoying these Assos bibs! I do recommend them. I had gone for a 100 mile ride resulting in saddle sores. My bids were 2 - 3 years old. I went on the search for the most comfortable bibs; Rapha, Pearl Izumi. These are it! Large works; 6' at 180lbs.

It just keeps getting better. These replaced my T. Cento bib which are great dont get me wrong, but these are even better. Better "shammy" also I bought the long option as i have long legs. And its very soft up front for the male bits. I only used on the trainer with zwift so far, but these are comfy and the fit is perfect! Im ready for summer so I can ride above 30 mile with these. Im sure i wont be Disappointed...
The first time I wore these bike shorts was on a 12 hour spin for charity. I took a 10 minute break every 3 hours and these shorts were perfect! I even forgot to use any anti-chafe cream and had zero chafing. I'm ordering a couple more pair for RAAM!
I'm 170# and 5'9" the medium size was perfect. After 2 rides at 100+ miles I'm very pleased. Nice compression and no saddle problems or pain. The best of my now 4 Assos cycling shorts.
These are very comfortable. Easily the best bibs I have ever owned. I wish I had these when I completed my cross country trip a few years ago. Yes, they are quite expensive, but hold out for a sale and save a few bucks.
