Assos S5 Bib Short | $228.58
BikeRadar verdict
"Crazy money, but you get supreme comfort from the Swiss short"
A stratospheric price tag for a pair of shorts, but the function makes it worth the investment. The shorts to buy if you spend more time riding than anything else and have tons of cash burning a hole in your pocket.
Highs: The turquoise pad is covered in small dimples, but no other obvious features to explain why you’ve spent a fortune.
Start riding, though, and the pad seems to disappear under the pressure of being sat on, yet ensures a consistently comfortable and cool ride.
The upper back portion is made from a breathable fine net, while the straps are Lycra.
Neverthelkess, this is a massive price tag for a relatively fragile garment. The straps have a tendency to ‘rope’ over the shoulders, too.

User review of Assos S5 Bib Short
I have these shorts and like the review says....put them on and you notice what your paying for. Supreme comfort, no movement, incredibly forgiving and a seat that others can onyl aspire to. This is the short of choice - the lycra, the pad, the build quality is unrivalled.

User review of Assos S5 Bib Short
Thinking about buying a pair of these shorts, but unsure of size, can anyone help,
I am 5'7" and weigh in at 80k, yes a tad on the porky size, but i love beer and junk food, and i can still do an 80 miler without too much trouble.
Any advice appreciated, (about the shorts not my weight)
Cheers
