I was going to buy the old orange pad ones assuming that's what the factory outlet store was selling but I didn't want to pay almost the same price as the new ones. Probably should get a pair anyway. Mine are going see-thru on the thighs but they're almost 10 years old.
I've bought 2 pairs of the S5 blue pad bibs from the Assos Outlet store over the years and I find it hard to image more comfortable shorts.
The old are still as good as the new and they both get worn 3 hours a week minimum.
