De Soto 400 Mile. I should buy more; I can never bring myself to throw a pair out. Even the pair that is seven years old is still comfortable for long rides.

Are you asking best for shaved or best for hairy? Surprised you didn't specify....

Quite often the cheapest. Maybe I am just tough and not whiny when it comes to bibs or shorts. I am sure Assos and other brands that are north of $100 a pair feel great.....but unless I try them, I don’t what I am missing and that means I have more money for ammo and guns for the coming collapse of society...LOL

Absolutely! You know we'll all have to ride from our coast (whichever) to the other in search of that last surviving colony of congenials.

Louis Garneau Fit Sensor 2's. Every other bib I've tried requires too much 'adjustment' during a ride, and with chamois cream I don't notice them even after a few hours in the saddle. I do have to buy new ones about once a year, though. They seem to stretch out and loosen up.

Assos for me. They are pricey but I've had no regrets about the spend, I really like them.
And they do go on sale pricing, with good discounts.

+1 for Castelli Free Aero Race bibs, won't wear anything else. I've done 8+ hours in them with no issues. Can usually find them around $100 on sale, def worth it.

Black Bibs Plus Tall.
Great leg band, comfortable pad, excellent elasticity and the straps are proper length for once.
I would try their Ultimate bibs if it came in tall.

Wore the Sugoi RS line for years but they seem to have changed something. Have now switched to Voler.

For me, after 35 yrs of experimentation, it's Assos. It may be different for you.

I'd never used bib shorts before, so about a week ago I ordered my first pair. I went with some Assos Mille GT's and they're very comfortable. Would recommend.

My favorite is RedWhite long distance bib shorts.
I recently bought a pair of Black Bibs plus, but they’re not nearly as comfortable as RedWhite. They are cheaper though.

I haven't tried tons of brands/models, but my two favorites so far are the Rapha pro team training bibs and the Giordana FR-C. It's all trial and error though. They have to be the right size and fit for your body (and your saddle probably too), so what's good for me might be awful for you.
