Hmm, Girodana and Assos come with many different pads, and Giordana in particular revamped their pads a lot in the last year. The pads we have in our Assos and Giordana are far more cushy, substanitial, luxiourious, thick, whatever, than PI, Castelli, Santini, Shebeest, Terry, Blackbottom, and Descente. The pads stretch and conforum to body shape much better. And thick? Only pads I know where you see the outline so clearly. You sure you're not comparing to lower or older model pads? We're wearing the Assos F.1 and the current Giordana. Over 50 years of riding between us and we both think these are the best pads EVER.
