I’ve had previous issues with the pads on Endura FS260 pro bib shorts whereby they have had a tendency to become prematurely threadbare and bobbly. Having said this, a move to the Pro SL EGM bib shorts has been transformational and I can honestly say that, in all the years I’ve been cycling, I’ve never worn a more comfortable and well fitting pair of bib shorts than these. The biggest compliment I can pay is that the innovative seamless design means that you are almost unaware that you’re wearing them (please rest assured that I do!) as they are so comfortable. Although I haven’t had them long, I’m pretty sure that - just by looking at the material and feeling the texture - the pad will be far more durable than the one in the FS260 Pro alternative. Regarding sizing, all I would say is to go for one size up. I’m normally a large, but gambled on going for XL as large wasn’t in stock at the time and it has paid off with a perfect fit. There are two length options - standard and long. I went for standard and - at 6ft tall - the leg length is fine for me but, if you are 6ft 2ins or taller, I would suggest going for the long option. All in all, a fantastic pair of bib shorts!
