    Obviously everyones different so what i find comfy may not be for you but FWIW i use Assos F1 Mille which are very good for long rides but i also find Pealr izumi very good too. i have a pair of slice ultrasensor bibs with the elite 3d chamois insert (11mm thick) and they are very comfy too and a bit cheaper too.

    if you do then bear in mind that they come up bigger than other brands in terms of sizing.

    For example i take a large in Assos, Endura & Specialized but i take a medium in Pearl Izumi. if you can try before you buy, if not you can always send them back

    Out of interest, why are they "no longer suitable"?
    Even if the voices aren't real, they have some very good ideas.

    I have many Endura products but the seat insert in the range looses itsa comfort after a few washes imo.

    I like the quality of the Endura kit I have loads of it! I just find the padding in the shorts, bi knickers, and tights not so good.

    I will bite the bullet and try some Assos ones. Any other suggestions? :)

    I'm using cheap dhb shorts from Wiggle, so I'm probably the last person to ask. For what it's worth, they seem ok to me even after months of use!

    For sure I think its horses for courses with this kind of thing. If the DHB are ok for you then great. I just think I neede as much padding as possible between me and my saddle! :lol:
