Summer is on the way* and I could do with some new bibshorts, both for wearing under baggies and for the road.
The last pair I bought were Endura (MT500s I think), which were pretty comfortable but I found the leg quite short so they stopped a fair way above my knee. As a result I'm wary of going for them again despite having and liking several pairs of their baggies. Can anyone recommend some that are fairly long in the leg?
I've mainly been riding in dhb 3/4s and tights over the winter - how do their shorts compare?
*Well I can hope anyway!
I wear Endura MT500 3/4 bibs all year and they have been great so far. Knees don't get too sweaty and really comfy. They are slightly longer than the 3/4 Singletracks I wear over them

That's why they're called shorts - you need 3/4s if you're worried about showing too much leg
the MT500s really are short. They're almost SFB short.
For a budget short I think [url= http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/productDetails.asp?productID=14932 ]these[/url] are fantastic. Great reviews too.
Yeh I find endura shorts pretty 'short' too, I've got a couple of pairs of gore Xenon that are very comfy and a bit longer in the leg.
Thanks folks, will check out your recommendations. And yes, uplink, I am familiar with the concept of a short, I meant the Enduras seemed short in comparison to other brands (which others appear to have confirmed).
