Switched from worn out Pearl Izumi shorts. The comfort improvement is night and day especially at the seat and waist. The legs come in a couple of inches above the knee. 5'11' 205lb and the large fits great.
Just okay bibs. The chamois is pretty thin, very little compression. There are plenty of vastly superior bibs in the general price range. They're ok for rides around 20 miles or less, not suitable for a long day in the saddle. And pretty unacceptable for trainer riding... the numbness sets in. I've relegated them to 'if all my other bibs are dirty' status.
Fit and finish: no issues with the quality. I'm 5'11" and 175, longish torso, and L fits well. The material bunches up in the front on the bike.
Really like these bibs. Good fit and very nice chamois. Got them on sale and they were a value! I wear a large in Castelli but had to go medium on these. More like US sizing. Definitely take advantage of the 3 pockets in the back. Awesome for a "T-Shirt" ride.
My first Giro bibs and they have been great. The status took a bit of getting used to as they sit to the outside of my chest, but got used to them pretty fast.
