You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I've got a £50 wiggle voucher burning a hole in my pocket, I fancy some more bib shorts, while I am a happy medium in DHB, I have been eyeing up some of the other brands they sell as this is an almost free pair of shorts I can happily afford to try something I haven't before...
Don't really want to spend over £65 (including the voucher) So I was looking at:
-Morvelo Halftone (with fetching pink trim)
-Castelli Velocissimo Due
-Sportful Gruppetto Pro
-Castelli Exclusive Milano Volo
I will be using them for road/gravel/CX riding anything between 2 and 8 hours...
So persuade me to buy one of these, or something else entirely...
Classic STW "Because it's what I have" logic is fully welcomed...
I'd just get the dhb Aeron Pro one for 55 quid. The pad in them works very well for me, probably my favourite pad of any of the shorts I've tried.
If I was being a bit more of a brand snob I'd go Sportful. Again because I know the pad works for me.
Me too but seeing as they're mostly on someone else I thought I might try something other than DHB.
One vote for Sportful
Shame they don't do Altura pro gel bibs as they are fantastic , so much so, I got 2 pairs.
Oooh, they do !!
I like castelli stuff a lot. Depends on what fits you. I have 3 different assos bibs and the castelli ones are more comfy. Also rate them more comfy than gore and morvelo. Bit like saddles IMO. Certain pads work for certain bums.
Hmmm I already know that I seem to be DHB shaped, but I haven't tried enough other brands to be sure there's nothing to suit me better... I am liking the look of both Sportful and Castelli at the moment...
Stolen Goat are now on Wiggle
Sportful.
I vote Morvelo, pad is the best I have used.
Morvelo.. Really comfy.
Too late, I have ordered the Sportful Gruppetto to try. Never know, might get another voucher for Christmas.
I wonder if there is a market for lady's bib shorts with reusable washable sanitary pads built in.
