I know, not the most interesting of questions!
I’m after a pair of bib tights for autumn/winter use. I’m leaning towards Sportful because my Super Total Comfort bib shorts are by far the most comfortable I’ve ever used, and the fit is great. The question is, which ones to go for: Super Total Comfort / Total Comfort / R&D / No Rain Fiandre
Has anyone used more than one of these and is able to make a real-world comparison?
The R&D and No Rain Fiandre use the Total Comfort Pro pad, which has less material than the Total Comfort pad that I know and love – is there a noticeable difference in comfort over long rides?
Does the extra water resistance of the No Rain Fiandre really make that much difference?
Also open to suggestions from other manufacturers. Currently I have a set of Altura Progel bibs (not really warm enough for coldest conditions, pad reasonably comfortable but a bit thin and started to peel away after a few months of use) and some DHB Aeron Roubaix tights (very warm but I find the pad a bit uncomfortable after about 50K). Those will be reserved for commuting duties, but I want something that will give maximum comfort for longer winter rides. Need to be durable though as they will still see a lot of use.
