Yes, Assos is kinda of expensive, but to put in perspective, I have gone through 3 pairs of bib shorts while still using the same Assos bib shorts for 10 years. Which is more expensive in the end?

Problem with buying bike clothes online is whether they'll fit correct. Fit is important and brands are not uniform in fit.

One brand I would avoid is Castelli; real crap that is overpriced. Louis Garneau is well priced. Giordana is a solid brand. Campagnolo's clothing line is nice.
