Bib shorts

[YMFB]

@DP-UK - how did you get on with the different sized Le Col shorts?

I spotted Sigma had the Castelli Endurance 3 shorts reduced to £98, plus a 20% discount for 2 or more clothing items, so have invested in 2 more pairs, at a pretty darned reasonable total of £156 delivered, which I thought although not the bargain of the decade, in the current climate, is not too bad a deal at all, as for me, the Progetto X2 is pretty much my go to pad.
I may even go to the extravagance of leaving a pair in Spain.
If I can locate the bargain thread, I will post on there too.

I know I’m not DP-UK, but I do have LeCol bib shorts, which are my favourite. Just ridden 30 miles on my roadie and disappointed they are won’t be available Tomorro.

I have the Albion too in the non-pocket version. They are a bit shorter in the leg than those but not dissimilar. They actually remind me a bit of an older pair of Rapha Pro Team I had.

I stopped in Decathlon today. These are very nice shorts, super thick pad and the material itself is quite thick, they look like a good spring/autumn short. Unfortunately I was in a rush and didn't have time to try them on but I am going to go back.

They also had a pair priced at £89.99 which I think were called rcr4 but don't appear on the web. Assume this was their top end race short. They looked very similar to Castelli, super high quailty material and pad and seemed a bit of a bargain, even at £90. Will try these on too when I go back.

Quite a noticeable size difference between the two styles, the endurance seemed a much more generous cut across sizes.

Head of laundry doesn’t allow that, they are now washed along with today’s cycling garb.
