Bib Shorts with ZIP??

[youngoldbloke]

Apologies if this has been asked before - quick search of the forums was negative - as was Google mostly - but does anyone know of a source of the above? Reasonably priced - less than £40, with pad? Such a sensible idea to have a short front zip - I have a pair of bib longs with zip, and it cuts out all the hassle of the inevitable short 'comfort break'.

Most bib shorts are flexible enough that you can pull them down far enough at the front to do the necessary - which is why you haven't been able to find any with a zip !

I've never heard of bib shorts with a zip. I would imagine it could be uncomfortable.

Well, Scoosh and yello...... you learn something new every day - for example, here is a pair from Mavic, with "small, softly underlaid zip opening for pit stops", but I don't want to pay £110+

As I said, I already have a pair of zipped bib longs, and zipped bib shorts certainly DO exist, but in limited numbers. I am looking for more affordable ones. Anyone?

bib knicks, covering knees, don't know if they do shorts too

As indeed do I. The zip is not long enough to allow for pee stops though, simply for ease of putting them on and taking them off as the front is higher than on shorts.

I have seen those, but mine are low fronted and the zip is very helpful for 'pit stops'. Similar to these from Ridebosh.com

I will just keep looking ..........

Especially carelessly doing them up with cold numb hands!

Wiggles DHB range also have a short zipp on them too - as i got a pair of their 3/4 length ones

^ only the Pace Roubaix 3/4s as far as I can see? None of their shorts.
