It seems to be generally accepted in this forum that Assos make the most comfortable bib shorts but I don't know which ones to buy.

The Equipe, FI Uno and Uno S5 are all available at Ribble for what seems like a good price but what's the difference between them and which should I get? I know there are others available for over £100 but I can't justify paying that amount for Lycra!

Thanks

    I have the Uno S5's, super comfortable. Was looking for another, ableit cheaper, pair for commuting but haven't found anything as comfortable..

    The S5 is their newest design and is different by design of fabric and of course the insert used. If you have the money, this is what I would go for. It's acknowledged that their top model are excellent bib shorts and the price reflects this.

    FWIW, from experience I wouldn't pay out for anything less personally.

    Very good. All of them. But don't discount something like the De Marchi Contour Evo. Best straps on a bib short EVER!
