I see these are reduced in a few places to under £120, making them almost affordable ! Any experiences ? and how do they size up ?
Thanks
I've got a pair and have been using them for about 4 months. I think they are great, very comfortable, good pad. Much better than separate lycra and baggies mainly because they don't slip down or move and no pressure on your middle.
Seriously thinking of a second pair for multi day trips.
Interesting. I am usually baggies over bibs but do get annoyed when they slip down a bit. Is sizing normal or Italian roadie ?
I'd say normal rather than Italian.
Being, not to put too fine a point on it, short and fat 😀 I take and XXL. Sizes up spot on for me helped by the lack of waistband. Shorts themselves aren't that baggy, with a bit of give in the material, which I think is a plus. Only thing I'd mention is that if you are tall they may me a bit short in the leg. Mine sit just above the knee and I'm 5'7".
Cheers for that ! Will go normal size if I order 😀
The Endura MTR Bibshorts /Baggy Short combo are designed to stop slippage too. Might be more expensive but you can still wear them individually too.
very good and I got two pairs, normal sizing. Besides a good snug fit makes them comfortable
Scotroutes, aye, had wondered about them seeing as have loads of Endura stuff. Just ordered a pair of the Gore ones on discount...free returns anyway 😀
Edit - pawsey, thanks, went for L as usually L in bibshorts from Endura, Howies
if you add up cost of endure shorts and a bib .... I'm a long term user of endure good kit. But these have it. No slippage or catching on the saddle.
Cool. Let us know what they're like. Most of my stuff is Endura and Gore.
FWIW, I have the MTB Softshell Bibshorts and they are really nice. Water-resistant arse helps with "personal freshness" 🙂
Just seen the Alp-X at £110 in Wiggle. Red though 🙄
Aye, ordered those ones, they won't stay red for long scotroutes 😀
I'm just not Enduroooooo enough to wear red shorts
Well I'm still in denial about being in my 50's so maybe they'll be OK 😀

heading out the other end of 50's and their fine 😉

turned up yesterday, look decent, feel pretty weird !- got Large and have now also ordered Medium to see which is best. The large feels good, but is so stretchy, comfy and lightweight it feels like wearing very little whatsoever 🙂
Don't appear to have much warmth - akin to very light summer road bibs with a band of modesty protection !
I have two pairs. I reviewed a set for the mag - then promptly bought more.
Love them.
^^^ greg - any links to the review ?
It was issue 99 I think? Look in the archive. Up there ^^
Thanks Greg
update - the red ones from Wiggle were a bit too gnarr for me, so went back - fitted a treat tho... 🙂
However, Amazon do them, from Italy I think, in black, for £95 delivered - bought a pair, then a second set 'cos they are sooo comfy. They are very much a 1 or 2 season garment IMO, not a lot of warmth and quite minimalistic, but really good on the bike !
