Also, the black section just above the pads is getting very thin very soon. This is not the quality I am used to with this brand in just about everything they make. Love the fit though, although both of these are considerably looser than the top of the range bibs. I have other Assos bibs that are 3-4 years old and are holding just fine with frequent use. Comparatively speaking, these are going out way to early.
Timely post. A month ago I was told my Assos FI.Mille S5 black section above the pad in the back was getting thin. That sucks because I've been a vocal proponent of their comfort. But, if I can't wear it without flashing the rider behind me, they're useless for all but the most remote rides. Assos's policy is to not repair this problem which unfortunately has soured me on the S5. I'm not buying another one, I'm just getting club kits for awhile. Cheers
