Bibs with thick chamois pads
Moderators: robbosmans, Moderator Team
After making some tests trying to find a better saddle for me,the winner is a selle smp forma.
I want to change some bibs because the shop that i'm buying a lot of equipment is not selling with thick chamois pads. The old models have a thickness of 15mm with gel(the bibs they were from Decathlon).For a saddle without any padding those bibs are good but i don't find any new ones.
For online shopping which brands have thick chamois pads?The premium bibs don't show much information about the chamois in the descriptions.Can anyone recommend some brands? Also if it's possible that the inseam of the bibs not to be that long. (some 5" inseam)
If it's not posible to have both options(thick and relative short) i remain on the thick chamois option.

Assos mille gts/gto have respectively 11/16 mm of pad thickness. Worth trying
Over the years I've found thicker pads (as long as not bulky to rub on legs) to work for me better than thin ones.
Both Alè and Giordana bib pads are rather thick.
When I was involved with a brand and we made bibs at Nalini, their pad thickness was the sweet spot for me.

I use the GTOs and like their plushness. It’s memory foam so compresses well.lukaszzsch wrote:Assos mille gts/gto have respectively 11/16 mm of pad thickness. Worth trying

Asos Mille has thick pads and they are dense. Many, even thick pads, are made of soft foam, that you can squeeze together with to fingers.
But I don't use them for touring in the tropics. If you stop at a sight or market. Walking around with sweaty foam will give you abbrasions on the bum within ½ hour.

I second that. Used Mavic in the past and their essential (I believe they were called) were relatively thick and comfy.
If you've got Verge distribution where you live their general chamois pad is relatively thick and dense. Super comfy imo.

Assos Mille GTS is 13mm thick, Assos Mille GTO is 21mm.
This is according to the resonse I got from Assos sales team.
From my experience, the GTO is the plushest I have ridden.
