Did you order them for this exact offer or from a different one previously? Because I had a longer chat with said dealer, and I am 100% sure now the shop is a fake. Whatever they are selling are not the "real" Cheji bibs I ordered last year. There is no Cheji shop on AE anymore. All those offers are fakes.

Edit: I reached out to Cheji via their email address on their website asking why they left AE a few weeks ago. They actually pointed me to their new store. So I retract my previous statement about this shop being fake. It seems to be the same seller. However, they left the AE choice program which means less sale offers and additional shipping costs. For me the prices nearly doubled comparing with last year which is a bummer.
Since there was some confusion about the AE Cheji store, I reached out to them outside of AE to confirm what's going on. I edited my previous statement. They indeed seem legit - just prices are less attractive for me now :/
Regarding their pads: they use only two. The red one and that green one that was posted earlier. I only have bibs with the red pad, so cannot speak about the other. FOR ME the red pad is the absolute GOAT. And I am comparing against "good" brands like Vermarc and Bioracer (this one is about equal but was about 5x the price).
But just because it is GOAT for me, does not mean it will be nice for everyone. Our butts might be different shape, different saddles, and probably most important different riding position. For reference, I have a big ass, wide pelvis, a somewhat narrow saddle at 130mm but ride a lot in an aggressive, forward-leaning position. Often in the aero hoods position for >10m. Thick pads are often restricting in this position: they either put too much pressure on my dong, so it becomes numb or the pad is squished outwards towards my thighs and rubs there. I think that's the main reason I prefer thin but hard pads.
If you ride in a more relaxed, upright position, your needs might be very different and a thicker but softer pad might give you more comfort. In the end, you just have to try for yourself. I went through 8 or 9 different brands until I found 2 that work very well for me. And doesn't matter if it's a 20 or 200 USD bib. The latter just makes the process A LOT more expensive ...
