I like Planet X stuff and these 3/4 bib shorts are good value at £15. Most sizes still available.

Their Carnac ones are cheap too. Very comfy - used for commuting, general riding, bike packing and even done 130 mile sportive in them.

They aren't bad, but that solid back material means that I struggle to wear them above approx 14C.

As I write this I'm sitting at the dining table having just returned from a bike ride. Not sure what the temp is but it's scorchio out there. The shorts I'm wearing are the same material/construction as those being dicussed above but the bib shorts, not the the 3/4 length ones. Mine are as old as god's dog and I love em. I'm definitely getting a pair of the 3/4 ones at fifteen notes. It would be churlish to refuse, eh?

If you don't overheat, then yes, they're a bargain.
But when doing z4+ efforts, I lose heat through my back and that can't happen with this solid back design for me in warm to hot conditions.
All my summer Castelli and Carnac bibs have simple straps, allowing my back to "breathe."

In Autumn Spring I won’t do loads of Z4. Seasons for building the base of the pyramid. They’ve kept me warm in chilly windy conditions. £15 is a right bargain. The pad is better than Castelli, Le Col & Assos comfort wise.

They arrived today. Yodel. Excellent. Quality unreal for £15. Fit perfectly and look ace. Will wear them tomorrow (thankfully lower temperatures expected) for the acid test. The pad is the Planet X 3D, which I've got in other PX bib shorts. Bit strange wearing the 3/4 length but at £15 I couldn't refuse.

You've just cost me a new pair of shoes. Hope you are pleased with yourself!

Cannondale Scoop Radius saddle with Titanium rails only £19.99.
There are various different versions available including a shallow option and ones with carbon & cromo rails.
They look a very similar shape to the Fabric Scoop & Charge Spoon saddles.
