My Lusso Roubaix are becoming a little revealing.

Any recommendations for some hard wearing 3/4 length bibs that don't cost a fortune?

(not baggies by the way)

Bit waem for summer though.

My enduras (thermal ones) are doing good, only a few months old though. They did impressively resist tearing themselves to bits when I binned it on the road and tore my legs to bits though.

Not 3/4 but my latest Endura bibtights have been pretty shoddy, which is a shame because I have some older ones that have been very tough.

I mostly run Gore and Giordana these days. Much higher quality IMO.

The best ones I have are original Lab Gear 3/4. Very well made and very comfortable. They still do them and Gerard is very helpful.

Santini 3/4s. Buy from Prendas, probably the best road bike clothing site around...

dhb +whatever. Have 3 pairs that I use for commuting everyday and wear them at least 6 months of the year. Oldest pair is over 4 years old now and good as new. My backside prefers the older red pad over the new grey one, but other than that they are tops.

Endura MT500 have had lots of offroad use and are as new. Tougher than road lycra a fairly warm.
For road:
Castelli Presto's have been good but are very thin so don't really keep you warm on chilly mornings.
Giordana 3/4s (can't rememember the model) were poor with crap leg grippers and the pad started to come away sfter two rides. Returned for a refund.

I have a pair of dhb Aeron Race 3/4 Bibs. Very good quality and comfortable. Would definitely buy another pair.
