Thanks, this is my experience so far, I was anti rapha till I tried it, now I can't find anything that compares. I like the Assos NeoPro and X-Bionic bibs I've had but the pad seems way comfier in the PT kit.
I've been comfortable wearing the Flyweight all year round, unless anyone could recommend an equal to the pad and lightness I'll likely end up going with the regular PT.
Thanks again for the input

I have a Le Col set, the Sport version which I believe is the lower end. Like @French_Touch mentions I needed some stuff, had a Strava code so tried it out. In my opinion its pretty decent, for the discounted price its probably about right. Jersey is nice, cant fault it. Wore the set for a whole season. It bobbled pretty quick between my admittedly meaty thighs, not totally stoked on that (no others have)
However, I also have the Rapha PT Training Bibs and a couple of Core jerseys (£60 is really good imo) and its much better than the Le Col Sport stuff, I think its a different level range but still. More compression, better feeling material, better pad, less shiny...just all round better.
In conclusion....Assos T Equipe Evo Bib and Rapha PT Training Bib and tbh the Galibier Cargo type bibs are all ahead of the Le Col for me in my kit drawer.
