I wear 'short' bibs under baggies (for MTB), but when xc racing/longer rides i prefer 3/4 tights...
I've a few pairs of roubaix/winter 3/4 which are great for winter/autumn riding and racing, but only have one pair of thin 'summer' 3/4.. i think they're b-twin from decathlon, and are now discontinued!
I'm off to Croatia for the 5d marathon race there, so want several pairs...
I don't want roubaix/water resistance/warmth... just thin fabric than goes past the knee!!
Suggestions below please xxx

I am interested in this too, I used the thin dhb aeron ones for years and really like them, but they just make the warm ones now. I've tried the alpkit thinner 3/4 and the fit isn't so good. I have some endura thicker ones and I don't get on with the pad as well.
Galibier - I wear mine all the time. Just a thin summer material, a mesh upper, really good pad.
You may need to wait for spring for them to come back into stock.

Ahh...this may be the reason why there's little out there...

Or may be on sale.
I've got some nice Alpkit ones. If its for long events, the 3/4 version of whatever shorts/chamois you currently use and prefer.
DHB stuff from Wiggle? In the sale and their stuff is always good value.
You can decide if the risk of ordering from them is to high...
There are some DHB bargains on the Wiggle Black Friday sale…Caveat emptor and all that
Ignore my post above, all the wiggle stuff is Roubaix thermals
I have a pair from Rh+ from a few years back. Some of my favorite shorts. "bib knickers" is the the technical term that might help your google-fu.
The Alpkit ones are more like long shorts. I'm only about 5'10 and they barely make it to just below my knee not to mid calf as you might expect
i love the planet x clubman roubaix shorts. Not too warm, and veryh comfy. I have a few pairs, which were about £20 or so.
