These are cheap (especially with sales) but that’s about the only thing going for them. Not a serious bib for a serious cyclist.

i’d stick with cycling brands instead. go for castelli or sportful. if you have a specific budget in mind, you can always find past season items on sale on their websites or backcountry.

I have a set. They’re fine but not worth a lot of money – they are not as compressive/supportive as higher-end bibs. This is probably by design, as the whole Adidas line is designed for more casual cyclists.
I bought a set because they were cheap and I liked the three-stripe Adidas kit. I wear it just occasionally, but i wouldn’t consider it high-performance kit.

You can get an Assos GT Mille for roughly the same price

You can find better, cheaper and without a white cuff that’s gonna look like shit after 2 rides.

I have an older set of bibs and winter tights and few newer jerseys from them. They’re not as hype as PAS/Rapha/MAAP but I think they look good, have decent quality and are comfy enough. Have gotten a few compliments from other random cyclists out in the wild. I’d say it’s similar to any of the “core” lines. When they go on discount it feels like a much better value to me.

I got a pair of their cargo bibs on super sale and they are comfy but not built for longer rides and stretched a lot. I increased my mileage a lot recently and have really been enjoying some Specialized bibs I secured from a local bike shop:-)

I have the all black ones i got for cheap. Maybe like 60 bucks at an outlet. I like them. Had them for a year.
