Thermal bib tights with side pocket

[Binky]

Any recommendations for bib tights with side pocket? I've got a couple of pairs of bib tights for winter but with wearing a wind jacket over jersey I find it tricky to access pockets on move so tights with side pocket would be ideal.

Padded and warm are essential and ideally sub £100.

Any recommendations gladly received.

Looks like you need what they call cargo style

Yes that is what I'm after so have you owned them as I'm looking for recommendations. I can obviously just do a google search but I'd like some real world(sort of) reviews.

What shorts or bibtights do you wear now, that would probably be a good place to start.
For me, I love the Progetto X2 pad in the higher end Castelli range - Merlin have this one at nearly 50% off, and only a tenner over your budget, but the warmth might not be what you are after, as it mentions 4-16 for temps, so depends on how much you feel the cold I guess:

Unlimited bibtights
I don't own these, as these are a recent model I think, I own the Sorpasso tights that have no pocket, as it wasn't a thing back then - I do find the side pocket/s really useful though on the shorts I have them on though.
Might be worth having a look at Lusso, as I think they had a sale and possibly an extra discount on recently.

Now isn't generally the time to find winter bargains, so might be best to stick it out, find what you want to buy, and then look to get them in March/April on sale ready for next year.

At the moment I ride with these: https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/men-s-winter-road-cycling-tights-racer-black/350516/c382m8842732
The rides were at temperatures between 1°C and 8°C and the tights are warm enough for me.
The quality of the fabric and the seams are also good enough for me.
Despite they are labeled as "Racer", they are not too tight even with my .... ahemm... pronounced belly.

I wear these from Lusso and also have two pairs of the bib shorts. They are outstanding, expensive, but worth every penny. The key points for me are:

• Overall fit is comfortable
• Zero bunching behind the knees. The only bib tights or leg warmers I've been able to say this about.
• Excellent pad
• Full width mesh pocket across the lower back. Both the bib shorts and tights have this pocket. For me it's a game changer. A very comfortable place to stash rain jacket, gilet etc rather than trying to shove these into a jersey pocket

I've no hesitation in recommending the Terra Cargo bibs. Lusso often run a 20% sale which is worth watching out for. The risk of course is your size might not be available. You'll get 10% discount count by signing up for the newsletter.
