Assos seem to be true to size according to the chart ? Large does seem to cover what would normally be XL for me ? Anyway still expensive lol

Am I the only one who finds their bib shorts over-padded at the front? On a ride they're uncomfortable.

I reckon bibs & pads are pretty much like saddles in that it's individual - one person's comfort is another person's discomfort.

If I was doing long days, I'd reach for the old Assos Mille (with orange pad) as first choice, followed closely by either the Exteondo or Moa bibs I have.

You've done PBP & LEL (kudos), so definitely know about being comfortable on the bike.

You don't need to size up (in my experience) & they are sometimes cheaper here https://www.swissiconic.com/

I have 1 pair & was a little underwhelmed with them after all the hype, but they seem to suit some saddles more than others, so it's probably down to personal preferance & your saddle choice I've also recently purchased a pair of Rapha shorts at a reasonable price, but for me Santini & Ale & the still the most comfortable o think I'll stick with them for now 👍

Ale women sizes are ridiculous, I doubt I would have fitted in the largest aged 8

Mrs SD is just under 5' & around 7 stone nowadays, she was over the moon when she fit into some Ale kids shorts (size age 12) much cheaper than adults. I probably last fit into aged 12 clothes around 1976 when I was 8

There are other options on the web site

Got one of these seems to be good. Not often you can get merino for less than 40 quid!

...also we use their compression leggings on the bike, they are great and on offer at the moment
