Bib shorts with best compression anyone?
so i've been using Voler bib shorts black label the aero fit for a while now and i love them they are very comfy the padding is awesome. if had to rate them by compression from 1 to 10 in compression when i first got them the were a 7 to 8 in compression but now they are getting older so the compression is like a 5 or 6.
i like my bib shorts to have good compression i like them tight around the legs idk why dont ask its just feels good. i want to try something new or i might just get another pair of voler's because well they a really good. but i feel the compression on them did not last as long as i'd want them too.
so i guess my question is what bibs have you tried that have had really good and long lasting compression?? also comfy in the padding too.

Louis Garneau Neo Power bibs are very tight in the legs. They come in shorts or bibs and several colors. Performance sells them and I'd wait for a 20% off sale which comes around every few months. https://garneau.com/us/en/neo-power-...yellow-261-113

Pearl Izumi Pro fits the bill for me. I've gone back and forth between the Elite and Pro. "Compression" is similar between them, but the Pro chamois makes it feel like I'm floating on the saddle. Really comfy over long distance.

I really like the compression in my Sugoi RS Pro bibs, but I also recently picked up a pair of PI Elite Pursuit bibs which are another winner (thought the Sugoi offers a little more targeted compression). The chamois on the PI bibs is a bit nicer for me, and since my team is now on PI stuff, I'll probably order a couple sets of Pro gear.

Boure ...panel lines on my legs take about two hours to disappear after taking them off! Awesome shorts and super comfortable though. I'll definitely be getting another pair for next year.

MAAP bib shorts are the best compression and most comfortable chamois I've come across. I promote their brand a lot on here, but there is a reason for it. Bib shorts are by far amd without a doubt the best shorts I've worn. IMO they put rapha shorts to a shame. Every piece that MAAP makes is top shelf with quality, materials used, cut and comfort. The designs are more of a personal thing and can understand why it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but that taken out of the equation puts MAAP at the top of my list every time.
