I have a Tri Suit from Real that I absolutely love, so when I saw the new cycling kit in a design I liked, I went for it. The bibs fit true to the size chart. It has really good compression (not too much, not too little) and the shoulder straps are extremely comfortable. I love the thigh pockets for optional additional nutrition storage, clean stitching throughout. My go to kit traditionally has been Assos Equipe RS line, it fits me best and if I have a long day in the saddle I know I'll be comfortable. This is priced similarly to that line, so I expect it to compete on all aspects. I prefer the amount of padding on this bib as on the assos it can occasionally get bunched and slightly irritating. I will say the material on the pad for these is not quite as soft, so I would recommend using whatever creme you typically do for chaffing. With that combo, these are at the top of my preferred bibs list. The only thing I can't speak to is longevity at this point, but I see no reason for concern there.
