They're very comfortable but I still have a thing for the orange pads. The whole shorts were better. They looked better, didn't have the rubber gripper stuff, just a thick elastic, the constructions was thicker. They lasted ages.

I have both the s5's and the new s7's. Both are brilliant, but I prefer the new pad (purple). The bib design changed slightly too and the new version is even more comfortable in my opinion.

The blue dimpled ones are the ones I swear by. They've been super comfortable and my forays into Rapha, Milltag, RH+ and others honestly haven't come close to Assos.
I get a bit concerned when they make major changes as there's little in the way of cycling kit as reliable and predictable as a pair of Assos bibs or shorts.
I may try a new pair of bibs and see how I fare and whether I should horde some from the factory outlet whilst still available. You never know, it's possible that they've improved them somehow.
