+1 For Nalini, Santini, and Sugoi shorts..... all well made.
-1 For the PBK Pro race dome bibs.... did not fit well, cheap thin chamois rode up butt.
I have Santini twist fluid Gel shorts which are AWESOME... but pricey, The quality is top notch on all santini prodcuts. I also have a pair of Nalini fieldsensor and they last and last (I too crashed once and slid on my butt, and had no rips). Sugoi is also good, but I could never find a pair that was cheap enough to try out.
I would personally go with the Santini bibs as they are very well made.
*Italian bibs need to be ordered a size larger! (Im 5'10" 145 pounds and wear a size large in Nalini, and Santini). Follow the sizing charts very closely!
