Found the padding very thin on their stuff tbh and the fit was very bad, 1 size up and it was still cutting the circulation off at my thighs.

I've only tried a couple of their tops tbh and they've been fine.

I don't suppose you could snap a quick pic of the kit? I think that I'll go for the bibs and jersey but Zipvit don't have any real pics of it up. Cheers if you can

Thanks for the link, that kit looks pretty good and it looks more expensive than it is. I'm gonna go for the bib shorts, the long sleeve jersey and the leg warmers - thanks zizou

I agree - their bib shorts with the 5 rated pad are more comfy than my dhb. Liked em so much I got the winter set too. Hth

My Decathlon bib shorts have finally failed my and are forming holes in the leg area and the padding is becoming loose. Now it's time for new bibs
I'm looking for something around £40, preferably in black and comfortable for 3-4 hour rides so good padding is a must.
Things like the dhb Aeron, Altura Airstream, dhb Vaeon Roubaix and Altura Progel bib shorts all get good reviews and are in my budget - any thoughts on these or do you have any other recommendations?
Cheers,
Jaz
Btwin bib shorts from Decathlon are £8.99; from your experience are they worth a punt? It says occasional use- does that mean they'll break really quick or is it just a little less comfortable if you wear them a lot?
Thanks for any advice, might give them a go!

I've been wearing and washing mine every single day for the past four months and it wasn't until I put them on a few days ago that I noticed a hole in the thigh area, after an inspection I noticed that half of the padding had become unstitched which meant it wasn't staying in place when I was riding. I think I paid £15 for mine, for £9 you can't really go wrong - they're going to be much better than the cheapo SportsDirect alternatives.
Mine were rated as 'best for occasional use for rides up to 2 hours' and I used them for rides that lasted 4+ hours and it was around the 3 hour mark when they started getting uncomfortable.

Is the jersey a 'race fit' or a 'club fit'?
