Reviews
from the perspective of an assos owner
"Prior to these I rode exclusively in Assos bibs, so perhaps my perception is skewed? The pad is really nice; I don't like bulky pads. If your seat fit is dialed pads are simply a preference, it doesn't save you from discomfort in anyway. There are two points that stick out to me; the grippers and the waist. The leg openings, or rather the material at the end of the leg is narrow and can feel constricting, unlike raw cut no seam silicone options out there. The waist is also very high. It definitely tucks it all in and then some, but the side of the waists seems to hit/end for me below the ribs on the sides of my body. I am a big fan of the Pro Nano line, and I have half a dozen of their jerseys, which are sublime in every way, but the bibs could have benefited from the raw cuts and clever forward thinking incorporated into the jersey."

Amazing Bib shorts
"These saved me. I was struggling with saddle sores and I haven't had one since wearing these bibs. Simply amazing. Thank you Craft!"

Best shorts to date
"I've been riding / racing for over 30 years. I've always been given team issue shorts, which look great at first, but most have poor durability. These fit great, are not too long, and are very aero. . . These are my go-to shorts now for all rides."

Good Training Bibs.
"This is a good bib. While it’s not on the same level as Assos in terms of finishing and material quality, it’s a great training option overall. I didn’t realize when purchasing that this wasn’t a pro cut (as the name might suggest), so the size Large fits looser than my Large Assos Mille bibs. For reference, I’m 6' tall, 198 lbs, with a 34" waist, and the Large is just a touch roomy. I also wear the Nano Pro Jersey in Large, which runs slightly loose at this weight. My one-star deduction is for color inconsistency. I ordered these in the Blaze color, which is also the color of my Nano Pro jersey from the same line but the two shades are noticeably different despite sharing the same name. Lame."

Slides on any saddle - Everything in it's right place ,comfy.
"Riding a specialized power with mirror saddle and this thing glides over that cheese grater of a saddle. Now I'm using these bibs for races. Junk is exactly where it needs to be the entire race. No thought of butt discomfors.... it has a great chamois. Rock solid bibs from someone who's tries them all. No need to spend time contemplating on what you could get for less........ these are the ones you will want."
