    Unbeatable for good quality and price IMO

    The shorts from Aldi & Lidl are pretty decent but they only have them once in a while.

    Decathlon are decent, if you are fat I’ve got some spare xxl ones (new). I picked them up as they were peanuts on Decahlon’s sale rack.

    Think you need to be a bit more specific with requirements.
    Half decent for a 1hr mtb blast after work and half decent for a 6hr road ride are massively different.

    +1 decathlon

    But my new favourite pair are some fakes from china. £20 for shorts and top, shame they didn’t do more plain options, just picked the Lotto Sudal kit as I quite like it.

    The chamois is very thick, but fits (me at least) perfectly.

    What ianc said, above. The tennoutdoors stuff I have has been excellent. And I don’t think that anyone has a better price.

    Lusso, made in the UK, if that sort of thing matters.

    Another vote for dhb aeron then for what you need them for.
    Got 2 sets i use for day to day riding. Pad is good for about 3hrs worth imo.
