Quality leaves much to be desired
At the end of May, I decided to buy a new pair of assos cycling shorts. After 5 years and many kilometres, my current cycling shorts needed replacing. I knew immediately that I wanted assos cycling shorts again. The quality and comfort of my current assos trousers were perfect. The delivery was fast and problem-free, as I am used to from assos! So the first rides were as expected, perfect! But a few weeks later, the problem started. The fabric started to wear out, first along one leg and then along the other.... The assos helpdesk forwarded me to Mantel's helpdesk. Meanwhile, I've been waiting for a reply for 2 weeks....
Pros & Cons

Maybe nice for others, but they are uncomfortable for me
I have worn these a couple times now, and they just don't work for me. - Compared to some other brands, the pads on these are very thick and soft. I think of them sort of like a feather pillow: some people will love the squishiness and compressability , but after a little while you just sink straight through and end up with no support at all. Very uncomfortable for a 30+ minute ride, which isn't very long. I prefer a firmer, more supportive foam. - Another issue with the design of the pads is that the foam is very thick on the sit bones, but there is nothing but fabric in the middle. This means they end up folding straight up the middle (ie straight up your butt crack), giving you a huge wedgie. Very uncomfortable to walk around in and I kept having to pull them outwards while riding. - The more relaxed fit of these bibs means they grippers on the legs weren't as effective and they end up riding up. Not nice on a colder day as it leaves half your thighs exposed. The material is nice and they offer a more relaxed fit than other bibs, so I can see why others might like them on longer casual rides. But for me, they just don't work.
