Not bad. Check this site out too. I have two pairs of Santini bibs that are two years old and holding up well. Plus there are others in your price range.

I have several pair of the exact same bibs, also bought from Sierra Trading Post. They've held up well so far - pretty good value for the price, IMO.

I recently made the transition from shorts to bibs and I didn't want to spend a lot of money to check them out. I bought the Performance Ultra bibs - 12 panels, GREAT chamois and more - for less than than fifty bones. They got a good rating at roadbikereview.

To say I've been happy with them is a huge understatement. I recently rode a double century and not once did I encounter or even think about any discomfort on the saddle.

If you have Perfromance store near you, you should visit. There are many items cheaper than the catalog prices. Be warned, you are going to be buying a lot more than just bibs. I bought my century gel bibs at the store for $39.99 about a year ago.
