Which shorts were they?

I bought the dhb "Classic" men's bibs in Jan but during severl rides found this description slightly optimistic:
Designed for rides of up to 5 hours, these shorts feature a technically advanced Giro Super Air chamois from Italian cycling pad specialists Elastic Interface®

If you are doing rides of this duration, it is worth carrying a spare pair of bib shorts and also a dry vest and changing when you have your lunch stop.
