Hello,
I've got one pair of MTB orientated bibs that are taking a hammering, on the mtb and the road bike. They are holding up well, but are quite thick and sweat is becoming an issue.
So I'd like a pair that i can use exclusively on the roadie, nice and light fabric with a good pad for 3/4/5 hours in the saddle.
Need to be within £60ish pounds though!
I have 2 pairs of BTwin (Decathlon) 700 bibs which are £40. Pretty good, definitely more than adequate for 3/4/5hours in the saddle. Better than the equivalent Giordana and De Marchi ones I've tried up to £60.
I also have some Lusso and Funkier bibs which were nearer to £50 from Merlin Cycles. Also both good for the price, but the Funkier ones sometimes snag on the saddle.
Lusso size up a bit on the large size though.
helpful, cheers, I've got a decathalon about twenty minutes away, so might take a trip down there tomorrow evening
Merlin have also for extendo bibs on offer atm. Got some of these the other day :

Used them for a six hour / 90 odd mile sportive in the lakes on Sunday with no ill effects. Highly recommended.
bumped,.... also they need to be very plain...minimal styling
Try Lusso? I've some of these (in see-through white with black modesty panels!) and they're fine.
Also, Funkier 10 panel bibs with gel pad were great when riding C2C2C on the tandem
