Possibly a bit of a lame PSA as there are a lot of sales on, but I was looking for a new liner short and a fairly recent thread on here mentioned these, so I searched and they are on sale. (In medium only for that model)

https://www.freewheel.co.uk/madison-flux-capacity-men-s-liner-bib-shorts-varcla100

Picked up some liners for the lad, and a top for Mrs Rock. Extra10 gets another 10% of sale goods and free delivery over £50.

I’ve had a few bits of Madison clothing and it’s always seemed pretty good.

Would have been cooler if they were called Flux Capacitor shorts!

They are cargo bibs, so it’s a brilliant pun.
Shorts are pretty good too!

How do they come up size wise? I'm bang in the middle of a medium on the chart but I've been bitten by Madison's wonky sizing before. Mostly on baggy shorts though, are these fairly true to the chart?

I bought a load of the 'Hump' stuff from there at ridiculously cheap prices. The shorts are so good I bought three pairs!

Sizing is normal. I really like my pair though ding the pad isn’t good enough for all day rides. Bargain at £25

Yep, the beauty of a good pun is tweaking a well-known phrase or name to bring a new meaning relevant to the situation at hand.

10/10 for Madison here.

I'm a medium in most stuff and a medium in the Flux Capacity shorts. I find the pad pretty good. Middle pocket is a decent size but I find the outer ones a bit on the small side. Overall great value at that price.

They size up 'normal' I think.

Yeah, outer pockets are tiny.

And don't think you can get away with wearing them on their own unless on a trainer (or happy to show your bare arse off).
They are quite meshy and when stretched over certain body parts (such as when sat on a bike) they are quite see through.
Fine under some baggies which is what they were designed for, but I saw a few reviews saying they could be worn as normal bibs....not by me they can't!

My most comfortable bibs fit-wise.
