Echoing the sentiment in this thread I would say they are highly subjective to each individual. Having said that I just purchased 2 pairs of Velocio’s bibs. I got a pair of their concept bibs and signature bibs. I love their signature bibs and have been on them for 3 years. These are very expensive but they have lasted me the 3 years and only now I’m noticing them lose elasticity and the chamois feels more compressed. They are expensive up front but they are sooo comfortable and last a few seasons if you take care of them. I’m not buying new bibs each year. I take good care of them and they aren’t used on the trainer. My old bibs get relegated to the trainer.
You think about how much time is spent on the bike versus the cost and I’ll pay more for good quality gear any day. I’ve learned in the past few years you really do get what you pay for.
