I haven't seen anyone using the Nalini's, so here goes: I personally don't have much experience with high-end bibs like Assos or Castelli or Santini or Craft etc, so take this with a pinch of salt. I used to ride with Cape Storm and First Accent because they were cheap. I found the Cape Storm to be really comfortable, But not for extremely long rides. I found that the next day I was very uncomfrtable on the bike, even when wearing the same shorts. So I then moved over to First Accent and for the first couple of short rides it wasn't bad, but I was immediately disappointed on the first long ride. It's almost like the top half/straps of the bib are too short and then the shorts part REALLY ride up... They caused massive discomfort to my gentlemen's area. My training partner has mentioned the same thing about First Accent bibs. As mentioned above, I also only use them for really short trail rides, NEVER on my long road rides anymore. I also own a CWC kit, but the rubber around the legs is pretty useless.. After 5mins of riding, it looks like I'm riding in a pair of undies. But relatively comfortable for the price I suppose. I also own a Merrel bib purchased at Due South. Overall a comfortable bib and in my opinion, a very nice looking kit. Slight issues are: Pad is a little too big, so if you shift around too much, it gets a bit uncomfortable. The elastic around the legs are a bit too tight, but they are survivable. Anyway, on to the Nalini's. In the middle of last year I bought a pair of Nalini Corniola bib shorts on recommendation from a friend. It was just around the time Evobikes opened I think. I was immediately impressed. Even though it's the entry level of their higher quality bibs, it's still a great fit. It fits snug around your legs, but not too tight. The pad is the right sizes and not big and bulky. The cut is a bit odd (meaning the top half I guess), but I soon got used to it. My training partner has 2 or 3 pairs of the Nalini Lambro bibs and he cannot stop raving about them. My next purchase is a couple of pairs of the Nalini Chiolite bibs. I definitely also want to try the Pearl Izumi's, as I've read very positive comments about them in this thread. I personally think for the prices of the Nalini bibs at Evobikes and given that I am only 22 years old and my ass can handle a bit more than all the old men here, I am sticking to my Nalini's and not even thinking twice a bout paying ridiculous money for Assos or something similar. Having said that, if I am fortunate enough to still be cycling another 20 years down the line, and earn a massive salary, I'll give them a go. If any one is interested to have a look at the bibs I talked about, here are some links: Nalini Chiolite (very nice looking shorts in my opinion) Nalini Corniola Nalini Lambro
