Got these on sale and have a few hundred miles on them. These are one of the most comfortable Bibs that I own now, or a close second to some Rapha Bibs that are on there way out. It's really about the way the chamois is designed. It has way less tendency bind the groin. This particular model has a ample thickness to the pad without feeling like a diaper like some Assos Bibs can be a bit too much, not these! They are a great summer weight with near to knee coverage which I prefer.
I got them in a Large Long, I am 73 inches and weigh 172. These are plenty compressive on the thigh for me. If you really like a squeeze a medium would have fit me too. Anyhoo, I wrote a review which means I'm really happy with these.
I have ridden about 700 miles in these shorts at this point and really like them. They solved a chafing problem I was previously having on long rides. They are comfortable and provide a significant amount compression in the thighs. The chamois is superb. The LOSANGA material on the front of the shorts is comfortable and stretchy enough to allow quick nature breaks without having to remove my jersey and bib straps. I am 5'11" and 218 lbs. and I needed the XL size. The Assos fitting algorithm indicated that I needed a size Large but they ended up too tight in the thighs and crotch so I moved up to the XL and they fit perfectly (including the strap tension). These bib shorts are pricey but they solved a painful problem that was routinely occurring on long rides and therefore justify the cost for me.
This is a very sharp jersey that is not flashy but has a lot of style.It does not zip all the way down, it stops just above the waist which makes it a little different putting it on since you pull it over your head. The zipperless band helps to prevent bagging at the waist The material is super thin and smooth. The sleeves are unfinished at the ends making for a smooth transition to your arms with nothing to rub or leave a mark.
The material is super wicking to transfer the moisture away from your body without absorbing it. This is a low key but great jersey.
