I assume you've tried Ron Spencers???

Thanks
I went in last week and TBH wasn't too impressed with what they had.................apart from the Assos @ £195.00 which I can't justify.

I bought a pair of Pearl Izumi biblongs with pad today

A US brand, not that widely sold here as you've found. Buy online send back if not keen

Sigma have on sale, free delivery and free collect+ returns. Excellent retailer

Looks good...............thanks.
I would rather touch/feel and generally have a play with them in a shop but with free return that's not a bad idea.
And the price is good.

Will do, got them for much discount from Tiso of all places.
My bike needs a few repairs after today's ride so it might be the end of the week til I'm out again.

I see you have purchased a pair of Pearl Izumis so you'll know by now if they work for you or not; I have only just got back out on my bike after a couple of weeks off, and have worn the new bibtights the past couple of days. Deffo my best bike-related purchase of the year. My only bike related purchase, I'll give you that, but I'm very impressed with them, and the pad is as good as any I have used - I usually wear Assos or Endura.

Since purchasing them I have been in hospital a couple of times and due back again next Friday..... & then (as per post in CCCafe) I had a bad experience with the dentist last week. So not my best ever month
I have managed to get a couple of 20 &31 milers in but that wont be a good test so I am waiting a few weeks when I can try them with a 40/50miler.
TBH.....visually, they don't look much different from my Endura Pro's but the proof of the etc. etc.
Your comments do fill me with confidence though.........thanks.
