Monton bib shorts - anyone tried them?

[NC_lurker]

Interested to hear feedback from anyone who has tried Monton bib shorts.

I need to replace some Enjoy bibs that have reached end of days. I would've gone with Vye as their shorts are working well for me, but it seems I'm no longer their target market given how they've discontinued pretty much their whole line.

Just looking for Monton reviews please, don't need to be told how wonderful Assos are or how cool I'll look in Ciovita (my mates say there's no hope...). Thanks 

Oh, I've given up on Enjoy bibs, love the fit but there's a mesh insert in the front of the pad that tears into holes after fairly minimal time - had 4 pairs do the same & feedback from @Enjoy Fitness when I pointed it out wasn't overly helpful 😕 

FYI @Vye Cycle Kit

Haven’t tried them as yet, but have several friends who have bought and are really happy. 
The one did a multi day bike packing trip  with his, no complaints. Jhb- Kzn

Like all brands be sure what level in the range you are looking at as this might present diverse opinions

I have Monton bibs and I love them. They have different ranges so be sure to be specific about whether you want the one with thicker padding by or the thinner ones. Also different materials and trimming. I would suggest buying in store if you are in Capetown or joburg. Better than online.

the overall quality is great. The chamois pad is only 6mm so on the thinner side which has been ok for me for rides up to 4 hours. after that my ass needs more cushion

Yup, plan was to head into the store to try before I buy. I'm happier with a thinner pad so thanks for the heads up on variety 👍

Cool, sounds good.

As you're aware, I'm too lazy to ride for more than 4hrs nowadays so I should be ok.

I've got 7 pairs across various styles and all a win.

Not as cheap as they were, some are nearly 4k now, first pair i got was 800.

Just search monton in the forum and you'll see all the positive comments

They're great bibs, i wont wear any other brand

But, you must go try them on first. They have different ranges so you can best fit them to your style ( more compression for endurance rides, short legs, long legs, etc etc)
