Hi all
Which would you recommend out of Endura thermolite pro-biblongs or Altura ergofit windproof biblongs? or are there any others that would be suitable for winter? Looking for something warm and windproof rather than waterproof.
Cheers

I bought [url= http://www.primera-sports.com/products/bib-156/gore-bike-wear-oxygen-iii-so-bibtights-2011-8262.aspx ]these[/url] today. Haven't tried them yet but they look very well made with a good pad (same as Assos) and look like they are going to be very warm.
I misread the title as biltong advice, which might have been an interesting thread (not that this isn't of course).
I've always stuck to the DHB roubaix ones from Wiggle - not sure what the model name is now they've changed them all. They're not explicitly windproof but I've always been plenty warm in them (down to below zero). The pads are excellent for the money. One of my many pairs of DHBs did have some dodgy stitching but Wiggle are impeccable for returns and it was replaced straight away.
In this weather - I'd go for waterproof lowers.
I've got some GORE "selective" Windstopper, - the WS is fairly splash proof, but the lowers/shin area always end up p*ssed wet through.
Last week I bought some Endura Stealth Lites... I was worried I'd be sweating like paedophile in a playpen... but they are in fact sorted. Warm, dry, and comfy.
I don't have the biblong version - but I understand the top half of those is roubaix - so you needn't worry about boil in bag torso.
They ain't too cheap though.
