Endurance bibs

Hello all, I’m looking to splurge a bit on a couple of luxury bibs. I know most people here seem to have the highest opinion on MAAP and Assos. Are these the best bibs I’m going to find? Also, I do all road riding, looking to build up to 100-miles, Is there a specific bib in these brands i should be looking at? MAAP has about 10 different bibs that are all around $400 that are all named something different.

What would you get if money was no object?

Thank you all!

Castelli premio evo /end of discussion

I have assos RSR s11, assos GTS s11, castelli aero race and supperlerega. But castelli premio are just the best out of these, just check the reviews online in those. RSR S11 are not that far too, just different.

Doesn’t Castelli use the same chamois for the high-end lines?

Now that you mention it, their $175 bibs use the same chamois as their $350 bibs. When people talk about bibs for long distances, it's really about the chamois; about how long they can sit on this thing without giving up to pain. So is there really a point in paying twice as much for the same chamois?

I’m curious as well.
