Bib shorts recommendations under £50?

road · 2016-08-26T10:08:40+01:00

First thing, I'm a tight wad/poor person, so no £120+ stuff ;) I'm looking for a decent bib short that'll do me for about 4 hours (sadly that's probably the maximum I'll ever be allowed out) in the saddle and possible 3/4 as I've got a annoying knee that's never quite right and could do with being warmer. I do have some leg warmers so the 3/4 isn't essential. If you've seen anything on sale that's at my price point I'd also be grateful for recommendations. Cheers.

..no guarantee you’ll like them for 4 hours, but then again could probably say that about almost any ones.

Like most things in life,

Like most things in life, what suits one doesn’t suit all. In my case I sometimes find the pad isn’t wide enough, (not that I’m exactly a fatty), but Altura Progel Peleton work well for me. Having discovered them, I just keep buying more of the same rather than risk something else! A quick google and you will find a number of the usual online suspects selling them within your budget. they are not 3/4.
