Another vote for the Rapha Classics. I personally prefer the more compressive fit of the Pro Team training bibs, but I also have their classic bibs and love them. I've also decently enjoyed my Specialized RBX bibs which are half the price as the Rapha's, but riding them back-to-back there's just no comparison.

Going a bit OT.. anyone tried the Oakley endurance bibs? I see that PBK has them well discounted.

I'm thinking at this price, it may be worth picking up a pair?

I wear Assos. After almost 40 yrs of riding and using all manner of gear, I broke down and bought a pair of Assos bib shorts on sale. They are perfect for me.

I have a couple pair of RedWhite bibs, they’re pretty good, IMO.

I second the red white motion - make sure you sign up to get a 20% discount code. I'm not sure they're as long-lasting as my assos though, but I do enjoy them (I have two pair.)
Great bibs: Assos S7, Castelli Free Race aero (the air x2 chamois pad is awesome), Giordano FRC and I'll include the red whites in there as well.
I've got a closet full of other bibs that are basically trainer duty bibs, including the black bibs (I'm NOT a fan), Sugoi, pearl izumi, craft, descente (although I like these, they're just a bit odd fitting)

Assos here also. The mille can be found under $100 (have been through 3) and I ecently got a T. Cento for ~$140 at swissiconic. The Assos work far better for me than anything else I tried.
I used to like the Voler Black Labels (2 bibs & 1 short) but now they are only used for the shortest commutes. I have had one pair of the castelli endurance which were OK but fell apart after 9 months. Never tried any of the others mentioned but I would like to try the 7mesh mk3 which gets great reviews. I have one of their rain jackets and its great.

I really like Assos and have been wearing their shorts for a year and found them very comfortable for 4-5 hours. I have just ordered a pair of bibs for the winter... Assos of course!!!
