Morning all

My old Dhb 3/4s have given up the ghost so I thought I'd look at some bibs to wear under my baggies from autumn to spring.

I looked on Wiggle at the current Dhb range and saw the Aeron Race but they only have them in a medium which maybe a little snug as the q&a suggest a large.

I've got a budget of £50, what else is worth a punt?

Howies are my favourites for under baggies. £59 so nearly in budget !

It only lists s/m or l/xl, how do you find the sizing?

I am L in Endura and DHB, 5' 10.5'', 34 waist and the l/xl are perfect. They are pretty stretchy so cover a decent range. I have the shorts and the 3/4's and reckon they are better under baggies than my DHB Aeron Pro's

Indeed they are stretchy, I'm 6'2" and bigger than Iain, and they fit me fine too!

Also a fan of the Howies tights, have them in short leg rather than 3/4's, but I'd get them in 3/4's too.

They really do stretch well, I wear l/xl and they fit my 36" ish waist and sunstantial thighs (26" I think when I measured them compared to a friends waist on Friday night - she was 25"!)

Your other option is winter bib shorts with knee or leg warmers.

Howies if the budget goes that far. Sizing is flexible, to say the least.

indeed, I got a warranty replacement on a set of 3/4's in S/M. They were the comfiest shorts I've had until they started coming unstitched in the crotch.

The replacement S/M are considerably 'snugger'. To the point of discomfort.
