Assos T Fi.Mille_s5 - A Good Fit?

[benny.c]

Just looking for opinions from anyone that has worn Assos T Fi.Mille_s5 bibs. They seem to get good reviews everywhere but I've read quite a few comments saying that they are loose at the base of the leg. It's hard to gauge if these comments are from racing snakes with skinny legs though. I'm no Robert Förstemann but I don't want my bibs flapping about on a ride. Has anyone got or had them? Ta

I have them and they are my fave pair of bib's, which is a shame because I only get to wear them this time of year!

I am a bit of a racing snake and often attract ridicule from guy's I ride with due to my woefully skinny legs! Mine fit fine, they are not as tight as my S2 Bib's but they are by no means loose, and certainly don't flap around or let the winter air in!

Thanks, much appreciated

Mine go loose at the leg when they get rained on, I was a bit surprised and disappointed the first time it happened with the elasticated end bunching like elastic does when it's been overstretched, but they are fine and retained their shape and returned to normal size and shape.
I have various other bibs but they don't get a look in unless these are in the wash especially if it's an all day ride.

Ta. I've just ordered some so I'll see how I get on. At £80 they are half the price of the Rapha Classic bibs that I was also considering.

Mine are a bit loose at the leg (more so than my other shorts) but I'm 186cm and 61kg so not really normal build...

So you're a bit like Chris Froome but without all that body fat he carts around

Yeah, I could be a grimpeur, but need to put on some weight first
