Have looked over previous threads but seem to be a couple of years ago, curious if things have changed.
Looking for a 3/4 bib shorts.
Comfiest pad / insert.
Don't necessarily need to be winter / fleece versions.
Many thanks
I have just got some DHB Aeron and so far ( about six rides ) I’m very happy with them. I have Assos full length and Castelli 3/4, Rapha bibs shorts and so far the £55 DHB haven’t been any ‘worse’ than my much more expensive bottoms. (They are not water repellent though)
I have a few pairs, Isadore being my favourite. Currently 20 to 30% of in the sales.
I have the standard 3/4s, DWR treated and also a brushed fleecey inside. Not too warm, very good for this time of year.

I've bought Galibier bib 3/4's and shorts.
Best shorts I've ever owned, really comfy pad and a cool pad, great fit, good grippers that work without sticking/hair pulling.
Ps - trust thier sizing, but put a tape measure on yourself to check.

Recently bought a pair of Le Col 3/4 (after trying their shorts in the summer). All good - very comfortable, and £50 off if you get the Strava discount.
Not the Morvelo storm ones, the leg elastic is too big. Wish I had read the reviews more closely. I think Morvelo are a bit style over substance generally, I'd probably try the Galibiers next time
Assos Mille GT 3/4 are lush. Super comfy pad and lovely material
Have Morvelo Storm 3/4’s replaced wornout Howies 3/4, very happy with them, fit is great, very comfy pad , dont have any issue with leg elastic., infact the pad was so comfy,bought the overland short bibs too(also to replace clapped out ancient howies bibs)
My Planet X 365s are really comfy and the right amount of warm.
For regular 3/4 I'd go Galibier, but I also have some lusso thermal 3/4s which are a nice roubaix material with no claims of dwr or windproofing and they've been perfect for the last few weeks.
I'm using alpkit bib shorts at the moment, highly recommended

Wait for a sale
Another vote for planet x 365. The right price too at £24.99
I used to have a pair of Lusso ones which were great. I've tried a pair of Pearl Izumi ones which were in the sale on freewheel. These are less good, the pad is very basic and the fit isn't great.
+1 for Planet X 365 here too.
The planet X ones with the loose fit on the calf?
My planet x one's are terrible. Resigned to turbo duties.
Loose fitting and they delaminated
Maybe I was just unlucky?
Many thanks all have ordered some Lusso's to try.
