Pros: 
Adjustable, comfortable, easy to get into very aero position
Cons: 
Deformable elbow pads, s-bends with bar end shifters make wrists sore, cheap adhesive

Been using these for the season with good results. However once I put bar end shifters on I started getting sore wrists. Because of the s-bend, the end of the bars point straight ahead putting the shifters at a funny angle. Also, the elbow pads (the pad part not the plastic part) started to deform with the padding getting thinner where my elbow usually sits. The velcrow pieces that hold the pads on also started to fall off although this is probably just cause I rode (read sweated on) them on my trainer alot in the spring.

All that being said these are a good set of bars for the price, adjustable and very easy to get into a fast aggresive position.

For the price a good upgrade from an older set of aerobars
