I have a pair of Pearl Izumi Ultrasensors that I love, plus some bibs from Nashbar and Performance that I bought last year and are already worn out:mad:. I've never owned Aerotech's bibs, so I ask, how durable are they and how do they compare in comfort to the PI's?

Thanks for any input you guys may have.

The Aerotech bibs I have have been very durable and I have owned them for almost a year now. Still feel good

I can't compare them to PIs, but they are very comfortable and I'd guess durable. I have not had mine long, but I've had Aerotech shorts that have outlasted just about anybody else's shorts from other places I know. The bibs are made with the same material/stitching, etc as their highest end bike shorts.

I would take Pearl Izumi over Aerotech anyday of the week and pay twice as much. My PI, shorts as I don't wear bibs, are better fitting and more comfortable. I think the cost was about 1/2 again as much, but that is not including the shipping charges that I had to pay for the aerotech that I didn't on the PI.

I have aerotech, but I don't plan on buying them again. Quality and comfort go to PI. If PI was a 9 out of 10 the Aerotech was a 5 at best out of 10.

I like the PIs a lot but I think they're too expensive. If you can find a deal on PIs, go for it.
