Not too bothered by cost, to a degree, but more than £120 ish is going to grate - they're going to be used on and off road.
I've heard that Assos are the bees knees, especially the T Mille versions - but I'm open to suggestions please 🙂
Get 2 pairs of DHB Aeron 3/4 bibs for that money. Comfy and good quality, as long as you don't mind not having a 'label'.
Something with a Cytech pad in it I reckon.
I do like the pads in the Rose own brand bibs and shorts too though. Cheap, but don't feel like it!
If your buying 3/4 or tights, Don't buy them with a pad so you can wear Lycra bibs or shorts under them.......or they'll be forever in the wash
Do you only wash your shorts then Trailmoggy? Bet that gets a bit smelly.
3/4 a pretty pointless IMO. Get some Giordana tights. £50 and above, all decent and well made with a good fit.
Second the dhb.
Have the cytech pad and are well priced.
Comfiest shorts I've had by quite some way
I had a new pair of dhb roubaix vaon bib longs on today and they are more comfy than others I have that cost 3 times the price. Highly recomend them.
Losso. Excellent quality and very comfy, I find them better than the Assos I had before.
I don't wash them every time I go out if they do not have a pad, its only the pad that needs washing
I go out three times a week in winter so I can't afford to buy three pairs of nalini tights at £70 a pop
neil... assos s1 uno s5 or castelli Velocissimo... see you tuesday
Another vote for the DHB Aeron Pro. Great fit & cytech pad very comfy too
I rate these which I put a couple of thousand miles on last summer for £90:

No bottom issues in these or the Attaque from higher up the range in 4,000 miles in 2 months.
Maybe add knee/leg warmers from the same source for winter?
Not tried the Craft shorts but used other stuff from the range and it has all been excellent.
Bit of a curveball but Twin Six… I've ridden a fair distance in them from time to time with no grumbles
My new Endura MT500 are suiting me at the moment, both on and off road.
Also still like my 3+ year old Gore Bike Wear shorts.
The Gore Alp-X bibs are great...a decent pad and a lot harder wearing than other bibs I've tried.
DHB Aeron pro +1
