An awesome experience

An awesome experience compared to my other bibs. Just minus the stitching where my lower mid back, its like the t-junction where the stitching meet, does rub a bit. Other than that the padding and keeping cool is awesome.

My first Assos bibs, and I'll never go back to any other brand. These are so comfy, its like they were custom made for me. The Chamois was great, even on my 90 mile ride in the summer heat a few weeks ago. The front comes up pretty high, which i really liked especially with a really small jersey on for optimal coverage. Only thing I'd want here is a laser cut edge on the legs, but that just means I have to buy another Assos big lol, let the swiss bib addiction begin.

Good for 50+ miles, no problem

I got these bibs specifically for longer rides when I knew I was going to be in the saddle a good chunk of the day, and they haven't disappointed me yet (including a particularly fun 4-hour rainy-day slog). I'm 5'-9", 155lbs with a 32" waist, and the mediums fit snug without being restrictive. And, of course, the styling and quality is the usual impeccable Assos standard.

None Better

This is my second pair of Mille GT bibs. I love the Assos as a brand. I used to think they were expensive, too expensive. But they are super comfortable and worth every penny.

Comfy

Love the ASSOS lower tier bibs! Great high density chamois that stays in place on long rides and swamp butt in Summers. Keep them out of the drier and they golden 👍🏻

ASSOS quality has gone down

Full disclosure that I believe Backcountry will make this situation right, but I cannot believe what I just received from ASSOS. I have multiple pairs of these bibs and while they are the “budget” ASSOS bib, they generally hold up well. So I bought another pair after a previous one wore out. The pair I received this round DOES NOT EVEN HAVE COMPLETE STITCHING IN PLACE FOR THE CHAMOIS. How is this even possible? How did this pass quality inspection and make it to Backcountry’s warehouse?? I attached a photo for comparison and reference. The bibs on the right are correctly stitched, and the ones on the left after the garbage I received this round. Unfortunately I’m going to have to go on a very reluctant but necessary search for a new bib manufacturer, as this is unacceptable.

Pretty Good Bibs for Mid-Range Rides

I've used it several times

This is my 4th Assos bibs within last 15 years. I have been extremely happy with all the three different bibs (one for winter tight) I purchased before. Over 15+ years I have tried very different brands and concluded that, albeit they are quite pricey, Assos bibs are the best bibs for me. I purchased the Mille GT C2 looking to get a mid-range (30-50 mile) distance comfort and replace my overused first Assos bibs, I use my Cento EVO bibs for longer rides. I have read the reviews at this site and agree with most of the positive points made. From my perspective, I would say that these are not the best Assos bibs I have purchased but they are the cheapest and are pretty decent ones so far for me. I have found Assos to be sized smaller, my other brand bibs are usually large, but all my Assos bibs are x-large which works well with my body. I am 6-0 ft and 185 pounds. I have been using these bibs last 3 weeks for a total of roughly 300 miles averaging 40-45 miles each outing. As one of the reviewer's pointed out, I noticed some bunching in the crouch area as I get to 25-35 miles distance but pulling from the bottom of the thighs takes care of the slight discomfort for the rest of the ride. I would definitely recommend them.

Great quality, watch the fit

This is my 4th pair of the Assos MILLE GT C2 Bib Short - a crash replacement. It took a long time to find bibs that fit me well as we're all different - I'm 5'10" and 153lbs with narrow sitz bones and these bibs are super comfy for me. I ride indoors and out, with longer rides being 4-6 hours so no issue with endurance. Assos sizing is small, the size chart doesn't represent reality in my experience so I sized up to a Large otherwise the legs are too short and narrow leading to a lot of fabric rucking where you don't want it. Worth mentioning as well that the pair I'm replacing stood up very well in the crash, but since the damage was on the hip Assos couldn't repair as they said it would make the shorts part uncomfortable with the patching. Kudos anyway that they offer this service for just $25.

Great bibs

I purchased these bibs after reading a review of bibs overall that had these at the top. I think the fit is true to size for me (5’8”-170lb so a medium for me). Straps are really comfortable. Padding inside does have some loose edges all around that occasionally can be felt- not as great of a finish as shorts I have from Castelli. I think they could have sewn the edges down better. I’ve only had them for a few weeks so I have no idea how they will wear. So far so good. Even the unsewn edges are not fraying so that’s good. I’d buy them again.
