They're not bad, until you try Assos. I said shorts above, but I mean bibs. They're about 3 years old, so this comment doesn't apply to the new PI bibs, but...

If I could have these PI top of the line bibs for $50 or the Assos FI.Uno bottom of the line bibs for $150, I would take the Assos every time. You read that right, I would rather have 1 pair of Assos than 3 pairs of PI for the same cost.

The moral of the story is...don't buy Assos unless you are prepared to never settle for less again.
