My wife is struggling to find a decent pair of bibshorts that are reasonably priced (ie not Assos). Can any of the ladies (or men based on their wive's choices) here suggest any options?

Cheers

Mrs R simply buys mens bib shorts or wears mine. Her latest purchase is a pair of 3/4 Endura MT500 which she likes a lot.

Oooo I would stay away from men's shorts! I have giordana bibs wiggle were doing them for £55 or similar but I think they have gone up in price a bit but still very comfortable. I have a lot of friends who wear Mavic shorts, it is worth spending some decent money though.

Thank you

Retfordrider, she's tried men's shorts and they just don't work for her.

Munqe-chick, cheers, looking into the Giordana and Mavic ones now.

Any more thoughts from anyone?

Endura are supposed to be good although i have never tried them. Not sure if Di Marchi do ladies bins, I have old normal Di Marchi shorts.

Endura don't seem to do a women's bibshort unfortunately. Will check out DiMarchi

She's got some DHB shorts but the pad is really oddly shaped which is not working. Annoying as I have some DHB bibtights and they're really good for me.

Don't regret not getting Asos.

They are mega comfy to wear, but I regret to say that (lovingly bought gift from boyfriend that they are) they require that I take all my clothes and helmet off in order to have a wee. I then spend rest of ride redesigning them in my head. Which makes for repetitive ride thoughts... and extreme bladder control.

I sometimes borrow his bib shorts and cross the straps over which works ok for comfort.
