mojopup Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 I have 2 pairs of velotex red and LOVE them. I also have Assos and find them fairly similar. I love mine and the next pair of shorts I get will also be Velotex red. The Ghost 1
sometime Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Santini or Pearl Izumi both good options at that price point.
Riario Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 I got the Assos Mille at solomons for R1800. I think the special is still running They NEVER have stock!!At least of a size Medium.
Zac.A Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 I got Assos Uno's, really awesome! favourite pair of bibs by far.I've used rapid sports, anatomics, northwave's and craft's, and assos are the best by far.
Nimby Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Loving my Giordana Silverlines. Not as high quality as my Assos but a steal at half the price. Sorry - no experience with Vermarc.
BMXER Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Don't buy Assos, cause once you have tried it, you can never wear anything else. + 1
DJR Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Pearl Izumi is comfortable AND STYLISH as well as reasonably priced.

FLYIT Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 i ride with first ascent mens endurance or even a baggy now and then.long days short days ,3days doesnt really matter.personally i think anything over about R800 is a waste and rip off.i do however notice that a lot of mt bikers talk more about how much spent than how much ridden.becoming a seriously yuppie sport.

Problem is when you buy your first R400 pair of pants you think hell why do i need anything better than this, once you tried your first 1.5k pair of pants you wonder how the hell did i ever live with that R400 peace of crap. And FA makes ok female bibs for the girls, but every guy i know who tried the mens FA hates them your the first guy i know that actually likes them.

FLYIT Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 maybe im just a hardarse.did 3 towers 2 years in a row with FA and baggies,no chaff ,no saddle sores.dont see what all the fuss is about.
petatodd Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Tried the craft bibs today. Got a boner just looking at them. Then I rode in them. Nice, better than my vermarc.

I cringe just thinking about the chaffing.
