According to the product specialist

Pros
The Espresso Doppio fabric offers unparalleled comfort and a perfect fit, which is essential for long rides.
The tight fit ensures that the trousers stay put and feel comfortable.
Equipped with the Progetto X2 Air chamois, these trousers provide all-day comfort even during long rides.
The stretch mesh braces offer extra ventilation and increase comfort.
The regularFit offers an ideal balance between performance and comfort for long days on your bike.
The Type.429 fabric brings durability and breathability together, perfect for hot weather.
The X-frame construction stabilises the short on the rider's back and keeps the seat pad perfectly in place.
The chamois offers exceptional cushioning and support, which is ideal for long rides or high-intensity cycling.
The Progetto X2 Air seat pad provides comfort and breathability.
The Forza2 fabric reduces drag and increases speed.
Thanks to the mesh bib straps and the breathable fabric, this bib short is absolutely suitable for your summer rides.
This bib short has a sleek, professional look and a snug fit to reduce drag and enhance aerodynamics.
Due the use of silicone leg grippers, the bib short stays nicely in place.
The short provides ultimate comfort for long days in the saddle.
The breathable upper panel contributes to good temperature regulation.
The design ensures high durability.
Cons
In colder weather, these trousers may be just too cold.
With its focus on long rides and comfort, this bib short is slightly less suitable for short high-intensity rides, which is where Assos' Equipe collection excels.
The Forza2 fabric may feel rather tight for the recreational cyclist.
The fabric is less suitable for (extremely) low temperatures but ideal for mild to warm weather.
