After a new pair as title, anyone got any recommendations?

Normal bibs plus knee warmers. More year-round options, better knee comfort when required.

Agree with the above but if you must Decathlon do a non-thermal pair with their very good 700 series pad.

How cold do your knees get in summer? Do you live in the Arctic Circle?

Howies Bib Sh34rts seem to be well regarded.

Bib shorts, not 3/4's. Summer means big mountains means knee pads. 😀

Loving Madison peleton below my baggies.

I just prefer 3/4 rather than bib shorts, it's a bit like I always wear a long sleeve skin's under my short sleeve Jersey

Jeebus, I was a sweaty, sweaty mess after riding home this evening in relatively thin summer bibs and a SS jersey layering up to ride in nice weather seems an odd choice.

I would echo the knee warmer suggestions having previously taken a tumble myself an ruining a £60 pair of 3/4 winter bibs rather than a ~£15 pair of knee warmers...

But if you must, I
suggest some DHBs [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-aeron-race-34-cycling-bib-short/ ]like these[/url] perhaps...
