Bib shorts guidance please

[Spoked Wheels]

My advise would be to save the pennies and buy something really good. I gave away to charity a few bibs after I bought my first Assos bibs. From cheap Aldi bibs to Goirdana Tennat and Shutt VR Pro. The comfort Assos offers has no comparison in my experience. I can save money on cycling tops, socks but not on bibs. probably shoes and gloves are the other areas where I don't mind spending a bit more.

Have to say after buying a pair of Exteondo bibs in a sale ( should of been £100 ) there is a world of difference. However a balk at paying full price hence buy in a sale if you can. I`m sure at some point I will buy a pair of Assos, maybe when I`m a bit more flush. On the subject of DHB, I have one pair which were very comfy to start with but not so now. Even a pair of Lusso shorts I raved about are now not that great a fit after a few washes. I have started though handwashing my shorts to see if they last that bit longer. The key I think is how long are you spending in the saddle if only short ( no pun intended ) periods then cheaper option might be more cost effective?

These at the moment are probably the best value bib shorts:

I've always get on well with Altura shorts. Progel and Team bib shorts are £45 at Tredz.

Don't buy bib shorts they are bloody uncomfortable and a blumen nuisance when you want a pee and even worse if you want a tom tit. Save some money and buy decent padded shorts.

Buy bib shorts unless you either like a drafty back or live in the southern hemisphere, have a weak bladder or are unable to plan your toiletry requirements (polite version).
