I've recently purchased my first pairs of bib tights, with pretty mixed results. Accordingly, I'd be interested in some advice before buying bib shorts. My chief criteria is comfort for all day rides - so a fairly cushioned pad. From magazine reviews I've narrowed it down to dhb Aeron or Rapha Core. Any experience of these for all day cycling?
I know that endura are also highly recommended, but the f260 bib tights I tried yesterday had a very comfortable pad - barely aware of it for the 40 miles or so I did - but the straps were uncomfortable and the tights were digging into the top of my thighs from about halfway
The legs were also too long for me, something I have also found with a cheaper pair of their waist shorts.
The Mavic bib tights I bought are a really good fit, but the pad was no good for me - not enough cushioning.
So, those two brands are pretty much ruled out.
As always, really interested to hear the experience of others. I know it's all highly subjective, but ..........
Thanks
