I'm looking at getting a pair of PI Quest bibs, and was wondering if anyone had used them, and if they are any good.. I know they are fairly inexpensive, and although the price looks good.. I'd really like to know if I should spend a bit more, and get better bibs...

Help me out

I have the PI prt and field sensor shorts(orange padding)...i love them, really really comfortable. I like all my PI stuff.

For whatever it is worth I have been very pleased with my PI bibs. The PI's seem to be the only brand that does not give me "hot spots"... but that is just my butt.

Whereas wingsprint's ass likes PI stuff, I'm not a fan of their chamois(s). Their new high end chamois might be better, but the rest of their stuff bunches up on me and causes saddle sores like a mofo. Replacing my PI stuff with Castelli at the moment, though it's a slow procedure. But, PI stuff lasts forever under tons of abusel, and your ass might like the chamois just fine.

thanks for the advice there... I've been riding a couple pairs of Supergo's brand short.. they are ok... I'm starting to get saddle sores as the shorts wear out... they have been decent shorts for the money.. I have a hard time spending big cash on shorts unless I know they are bulletproof... but anything has to be better than the Supergo stuff... it's decent.. but I know there is better out there

Remember to take care of them. I started hand washing mine to help them last longer.

I've got two pair of PI's (Fassa Bortolo), supposedly the best of the bunch from my son Sven and they're the most comfortable shorts I've ever had. The top of the line ASSOS are also supposed to be real comfortable.
