Bottom Line: Sugoi RSE bibs
I have at least 3 centuries and 4x 30+ mile rides in these so far and I like them a lot.
Similar Products Used: Performance just ok at best
Pearl Izumi PRO is better than the Performance but I do not think as good as the Sugoi RSE
Voler/velowear I think second or third from their top. I asked for something durable enough to MTB in and they are but the chamois is not as good as the RSE
I need more time in them for a full honest assessment

Strengths: Comfort and fit. I've only had these and ridden twice over 50 miles. DelightfulWeaknesses: None so farBottom Line: I bought these because I needed new bibs, the reviews were positive and the bike shop carried this brand. Riding in them . . . wow . . clearly the best short I've ever used. Chamois is superb. It makes me feel like I'm riding a new bike. I'm getting a second pair.
Favorite Ride: with the wind

Bottom Line: I have been rotating 3 bib shorts - Giordana, Assos and Sugoi. All are extremely comfortable in all riding situations.
Since upgrading my saddle to a Selle Italia carbon super lightweight, only the Sugoi has kept my bony butt from bruising. I couldn't get back in the saddle for a week after wearing the giordanas, a little less time for the assos but still. The sugoi bib shorts let me ride my usual 50 milers on saturday and sunday with very little soreness. also gives great leg support.
Yes, you can see through them but how much can you really see - from the top of your crack the the bottom of your jersey, which is minimal. And only when in the riding position - no other time.

Strengths: All day comfort.Weaknesses: None that I have found - yet
Bottom Line: Review for 2008 RS Bib with Formula FX Chamois.
Best Bib I have used. The chamois is extremely comfortable - I regularly do 250Km per week with 50's 60's and the fortnightly 100 plus being my standard ride. I've tried many brands looking for the 'holy grail' and this one is as close as it gets. Still I'm sure everyone has their own opinion of the perfect chamois. These are mine. They are a little pricey but you get what you pay for and comfort has no price.......
On bibs that need warranty.....
I machine wash my bibs (all of them) in a front loader and line dry them inside and to date I have had none of the failures/dramas that others have had with any brand that I own. Maybe I've been lucky or maybe I treat my investment with the care that they deserve.......
Favorite Ride: Mornington Peninsula

Strengths: Comfort/supportWeaknesses: Lifespan/customer serviceBottom Line: I loved these shorts when I first got them. Comfortable, with lots of support. Great wicking and all the rest. HOWEVER, the pad in the center of the chamois doubled on itself during a wash after only about a year of use, rendering the shorts unwearable. Equally of little value: Sugoi customer service, which has failed to respond to several requests for guarantee/warranty information. The company was recently the subject of a takeover, so that could be the reason why. Still, hard to see how they'd risk customer relationships in a competitive market. (Needless to say, they've lost me.)
Favorite Ride: The one I'm on.
Price Paid:
$90.00
