According to the product specialist

Pros
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.
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.
Made of warp-knitted fabric with high compression for an optimal athletic fit.
Elastic Interface's PARIS HPS chamois offers excellent cushioning and anatomical shape for superior comfort.
Made of robust polyamide with stretch and UPF50+ UV protection for durability and protection.
Smartly designed braces offer comfort without obstruction during long rides.
Wide elastic bands keep the trouser legs firmly in place with silicone grippers for extra stability.
The KISS Air2 seat pad offers an excellent mix of comfort and support, ideal for long rides.
The Affinity Pro Lycra® fabric ensures an attractive, snug fit and freedom of movement without reducing muscle support.
The raw-edge legbands with silicone grippers prevent the shorts moving up during cycling.
The reflective details increase your visibility and, thus, your safety during summer evening rides.
Cons
The fabric is less suitable for (extremely) low temperatures but ideal for mild to warm weather.
In colder weather, these trousers may be just too cold.
The warp-knitted fabric with high compression can feel tight for some cyclists, especially on longer rides.
The KISS Air2 chamois is comfortable but does not provide the premium support of Castelli's high-end models, which can be felt on super long rides.
