Anyone got any recommendations for bibs that fit taller riders?
I'm about 6 foot 5 but only a 33 inch waist. Usually get away with just wearing 3/4 bibs but in this heat I find myself wanting some shorts but most I've had before barely get halfway to my knee.
Don't want to pay silly money (more than £100 is a bit much for me) but happy to spend a bit of money for something decent.
My 6'4" long-legged son wears Castelli bibs and I think dhb too.
Will be watching this thread.. got the same problem. 6ft 3" with a 35 inseam and cant seem to find bibshorts that are a decent fit!
Bin bag ya long freaks!
That or Morvello is long in the leg. Think Evans stock them so you try them for size.
Endura Fs260sl.They come in different 3 pad widths and 2 lengths (normal and long ,+40mm).Just under budget at £90.
I've got 33" waist and 35" inseam and got lrg,med pad,long.They are hands down the best shorts I've ever owned.Been struggling a bit with saddle sores as I've been doing constant 15-18 weeks since the new year.Since I got these ,my arse has been fine (bought 5 pairs now!)
6ft 4 and 30" waist. Find DHB Aeron Pro fit very well, comfortable and look good.
Try the Adidas bibs that halfords sell. Very comfy with stretchy mesh straps.
Managed to get the Endura FS260sl from Chain Reaction and they turned up today.
As I say above, I'm tall but skinny. Bought extra large to get the length on the shoulder straps and they're just the right size. The extra 40mm length in the leg is noticeable and they sit just above the knee, much mor elike a 'normal' person wearing 'normal' bibs than the hot pants look I would usually end up with!
They aren't baggy around the leg either which I was a bit worried about with the xl size. Plenty of rubber grip bits inside the leg too so I imagine they'll stay put pretty well. Haven't been for a ride yet but very impressed so far!
Rapha do long versions. not for £100 though....
