Unpadded Longs Under Bib-Shorts?

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
I wear padded bibshorts under running tights (£7.50 from sportsdirect.com), and if it's really cold I stick full length merino baselayer under the shorts. Can get uncomfortable, particularly if they are tight fitting, so go for something a little looser if you need the extra layer.

I've got some unpadded longs, only wear them when it's pretty cold. I've got a couple of pairs of really cheap non-bib cycling shorts that are absolutely no good as shorts but work quite well as sort of padded underwear for unpadded bib tights. I got them years ago in the bargain bin at a bike shop.

I bought a pair of unpadded DHB longs to be worn over shorts, mainly for the commute. However, they don't stay in position. Rather than binning them and going down the unpadded bib route I decided to buy a pair of snowboard braces to help keep them up and am pretty happy with them. My other couple of pairs of running longs have drawstring so aren't too bad.
