Skins compression bib shorts

[Mas]

Anyone tried skins compression bib shorts? Are they good? What brand/model you recommend in terms of comfort and value for money?

Does my ar$e look big in these compression bibshorts?

I had a pair of compression shorts which I thought felt good.
I was tight, lean, muscular and fast.
Alcohol had the same effect, and was cheaper. It's almost all in the head.
I took them off and felt much better.

I use them and am very happy with them. They were super tight when I first tried them on (almost sent them back) but after a few wears I got used to it. The chamois is the best I have got, so I use them for my longer rides (>100km).

I have just purchased a pair of long Castelli bibs. They seems to be good, but I've only done a few hundred km in them.

I thought this fad was over by now.

Unless you're a triathlete...

I thought all bib shorts were compression - well they are on me
I've actually got a couple of pairs of Skins from a few years ago (one 3/4 bibshort and a pair of knicks and can't see much difference to normal bibs compression wise - Assos are even tighter I reckon). I actually quite like the Skins especially the chamois. Not sure if they have changed recently.
