Winter will be here before we know it (booooooo) and I need some new bib tights.
I’ve always had padless as I can use them 3-4 times between washes but struggling to find any other than the Lusso’s, which have foot straps which I’m not keen on. And there's no in stock.
Hopefully I’m missing something, so suggestions please.
Gore do (did) them as well I think, but they have shut down - you might still find some here and there. Maybe altura or madison?
Check vinted, perhaps?
personally I use bib shorts year round so I use unpadded waist tights in colder times
I wear bib-longs over padded shorts so buy whatever tights are on special offer and cut the pads out
Galibier do (did) padless winter bib tights
Edit: Turns out I bought them in 2021!
Énergie Thermo Bib Tights - without Chamois
Pearl Izumi do them - although not as easy to find as they used to be.
Altura do them, I've got some 3/4s and full length jobs. As above it works for winter as you can wear them over a pair of normal padded boxxer type shorts, cheaper than buying everything again in longer lengths for winter.
Thanks for all the suggestions but looking on their respective sites, Galibier, Pearl Izumi and Altura don't do them anymore and Gore not longer have a site. Not sure I fancy Vinted but it might be my only choice.
Fox used to do them.
Provision?? They don’t appear to have a pad., but do have stirrups
