I'm after some new shorts/bibs for when out on the road bike as I'm currently wearing the padded liner that came with my Endura Humvee shorts with football shorts over the top as they a horribly short.

So, as above can you recommend me something with a nice long leg length, looking to spend about £50 give or take.

I am 6ft 4" and have Alura night vision bib longs which are perfect length and DHB bib shorts which are some of the longest bib shorts I have tried, both around £50!

I bought Craft bibs as I was told they are long in the leg.

They are NOT, dont buy them. I wear knee warmers with mine so it doesnt look like I am riding in my pants.

The DHB Aeron Pros are amazingly comfy and seem a decent length - I'm not tall but they're longer than Endura MT500s for example.

Been waiting for the price to drop a bit more before I buy another pair but I might just cave in and get some anyway.

Funkier gel 17 panel seem good for me, 6'2" and got the medium, plenty long enough to be acceptable. Fantastic gel pad too, kept me comfy for 5 days in the Alps no problem.

I got sine crafts and they were very poor quality. As I stood up the sticking in the straps frayed. Sent them back after testing 2 pairs.

So I bought the DHB Aeron pro. The are long in the leg, coming about 3 inches from my knee cap. So much so the leg gripper is slightly loose, so I wonder how I'll get on.
