Just wonder if any hubber recently purchased the new First Ascent Pro Elite bib shorts ?
See they new on the marked and fairly expensive.
Your thoughts on these ?

flippen expensive, and pricing themselves out of the market. Rather spend the few extra bob and get assos

Had a pair for a few months now, quite like them... comfortable and robust, should last a lifetime just about!

I have a pair. Have never worn a pair of assos or vermarc, but I can tell you that it is way better than my FA Revolution bibs.

I like FA because of the local support if you need a repair / have an issue. If they are as good as and I get local support for the product, isn't that better than ASSOS. Can you get repairs etc for them locally? just asking

Then it should be amazing because I thought the Revolutions were great.
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.

Glad to see the feedback is mostly positive. If compared to bibs of similar quality and comfort the Pro Elite is actually quite well priced. Always compare apples with apples. Certainly a step up from the extremely popular Revolution Bib.

I got one last month (was on my birthday wish list) and have not looked back, really comfortable and fits well, worth every cent (my good wife) paid for it...
