Which Bibtights?

[KyleB]

I'm looking to spend around £40 on bibtights, which would you recommend? I'm not keen on buying winter ones, like fleecy, as it'll probably be too sweaty...

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

I've found these to be really good. Pretty comfy and appear to be plenty durable. I commute to work most days - I've got two pairs of these (bought them in November 08) and one pair is always in the wash while the other is being worn. No signs with them coming to pieces, etc.

Lusso Maxrepel. A little bit more than your budget but very good.

theboytaylor - Hiya, I'm looking to get those dhb ones from wiggle aswell. Just a quick question about the sizing. I'm a 32inch waist, the size chart for these seem to take a big jump from 31 (small) to 35 (medium) How do you find the fitting on them? Trying to work out if the medium would be too big, Small could be too tight, but if its meant to be stretched then maybe not?!?! I've never worn any lyrcas like this before so am a bit clue less. Whats the padding like on them as well?
Thanks

l4dva - I'm 5'9" and a 32inch waist and the Mediums fit me fine, they're "European" in their sizing. I've got pipe cleaner legs as well and they're not at all baggy round my thighs.

The pad seems great to me, but that's not necessarily saying much, tbh, as until then I was wearing £7 decathlon shorts. The pad is in two or three sections, so there's no bunching up - some cheaper shorts can make you look like you've just had an accident !

Brilliant, thats me sold! I'll order a pair now, shame they haven't got any in stock at the moment though. Thanks for the help!

re

The DHB Merstons are excellent also. Nice and warm too!

Just my input, i have these bib tights from wiggle, worn and washed on about 5 long rides and there is a hole where the stitches have come undone just below where your belly button would be. Although other than that i do find them good value for the money.
Im 5'9, wear 32 inch waist in jeans but they're falling off me so im probably closer to 30 inch waist. I wear the small and they arent too tight or too loose

Nice one! Thanks everyone for the input. I ended up by the dhb Merston Bibtights, they're fleecy but not as fleecy as most i've seen, and are a perfect fit for me. Cheap, but hopefully good quality (will have to wait and see if they develop any holes). Wiggle are very fast btw. Recommend them without a doubt.

Thanks again,

Kyle
