3/4 bib tights

Hi all,

looking for recommendations on a light 3/4 length bib-tight to go under a pair of baggies. With a good pad. Must be ‘light’ and not thermal! For spring wear.

Thanks

Martin

dhb are fine for the price, but ime the pads just aren’t up there with others like PI, Sugoi etc. Admittedly, dhb is a lot cheaper in many cases, but I tend to wear an extra liner underneath my dhb tights.

I only wear bib tights, but then again I don’t have a problem in the trouser department 😉

Got some Endura FS260 Pro for Christmas, nice fabric, much better pad, better but more techno cut with loads of different panels compared to the previous FS260. However had to send the first pair back to CRC (who were good as gold) as half the stitching on one of the numerous panels unravelled during the first wash. Replacement pair holding up perfectly so far.

Dhb,

The lower end ones are ok, but the next ones up which used to be the finchdean are great. The knowle, I don’t think is available in 3/4 but they are top notch

I’ve got some Castelli ones I quite like. Bibs are mesh too.
Even the white bits on them have managed to stay white!

dhb make summer weight ones. I have a pair and also their thermal longs, all excellent value.

Spesh make some nice one’s as well. My Rapha’s are excellent but I paid £20 in a seconds sale, not full rrp.

I bought some dgb 3/4 bibs for winter commuting. They’re fine for the money but the pad is nowhere near as good as the gore bibs I normally use. I wouldn’t fancy doing a log ride in them either and the label on the back is, quite leterally, a pain.

Teed I’ve never had an issue doing a piss with bibs on and I do one every morning before I set off on my commute. You must be very ickle down there.

I have the Altura ErgoFit ones. I have worn them in blizzards and every other time and they have been excellent – not too warm or too cold and they have been unobtrusive. Only concern is the material is starting to bobble a bit on the seat area after only a short time. May take them back yet. Yes you do have to partially dismantle yourself everytime you need a comfort break.
