Shorts

[compo]

I badly need some new shorts. I currently use MoreMile tights or Tenn Outdoors shorts. I am now finding that beyond about 3 hours things become decidedly painful where you don't want pain, not good with the Dunwich Dynamo just a few weeks away. I have to admit to a degree of rotundness and I am a heavyweight.

I have conflicting needs which may not be able to be met. Money is tight and I would like a pad that doesn't collapse after a few miles. I looked at Assos, but they are well beyond my budget, so can anyone recommend or suggest a decent compromise.

DHB range from Wiggle always gets decent reviews.

I'm stalking you Mo!

I agree with Mo, DHB are great. I wore these ones for over 6 hours last week and they were fine. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-aeron-cycling-short/

They occasionally drop them to £17.99

I just got some reduced Sportful ones (WSD) from Sigma - they have a pad that feels very good (will admit to not having worn them yet as I am still waiting for the above the knee shorts weather to arrive)

They have some reduced men's bibs in larger sizes

Lots of other clearance clothing. I also like Pearl Izumi and Gore if they have those brands

Recent review of bibs in Cycling Active did say that the DHB pad is comparatively thin

I've found the Sportful Giro men's bib shorts to be very comforatble.

I recently bought a pair of Gore contest shorts.

remarkably comfortable - and a reasonable price from the mob above.

Oh, and I'm not exactly what you'd call skinny either

I bought the dhb pro shorts, i have others in their range but i found the pro versions to be the best, really comfy especially on long day runs, they get my vote

I can highly recommend these from Go Outdoors. Nice comfy fit, not too tight round the thigh as I find assos to be. Decently priced too

In the end I got a pair of these from Tenn Outdoors. They are far superior to the cheaper Tenn shorts I was using. The pad is superb. I have used them on some long rides of 5 hours plus and I am well pleased. I have ordered another pair for the overnight ride.
