What have you been wearing recently that you'd recommend? I probably need to replace a couple of pairs, I've been buying DHB's and they are fine whilst they are fairly new but seem to wear quicker than others I've had. Mid range DHB ones all the same. I am looking for something fairly decent but top end prices are getting a bit scary, I don't think I'd pay north of a ton for a pair.

Morvelo, and I got 15% discount for being new and 40% in the sale.

They are not cheap but comfortable and well made.

I also like Morvelo but sizing is on the snug side and varies a little between ranges. I can't boast cyclists thighs but their Nth series mediums for very medium me are snug on my legs to the point of wondering whether I should have gone large.

I got some Chapeau! shorts a while back for 30 quid in the sale. They have been really good.

Decathlon, the most comfortable bib shorts I own and I'm a tart who has spent far too much money on them in the past. The 700 series stuff [url= http://www.decathlon.co.uk/700-cycling-bib-shorts-black-white--id_8354169.html ]here[/url] is seriously good for the money.

Merlin are knocking out Altura Teams for £25. I was bought some for my Birthday.

Surprisingly comfortable if not slightly garish, obs not noticable under shorts.

Howies under baggies on MTB work for me.

Endura FS260 or DHB Aeron on road.

Recently got some tenn ones and they are right up there too :

I really rate the Zipvit ones as long as baggies on top. Sales come around fairly often too.

Assos Uno from their factory outlet site scrape in under £100. I prefer the Mille which are a bit more expensive but the Uno's are still really good shorts

Rapha now do a 'cheaper' range called Core the bibs are £100.

Endura Extract are my go to bib shorts, they're not quite as roadie cut as FS260, but still really good fit and material for the price

Top end dhb are much better than the mid range stuff - better pad and much better Lycra. Well worth the extra and still well under budget.

Rapha Pro Team by far the best I've used. For £100 I'd be going for the new Core collection ones.
