Bib shorts for heavier riders

Have both BTwin 500 and some Pearl Izumi bibs in XXL. I can say what I don't recommend and that is the Pearls. OK for short training rides but anything longer than 20 miles and you'll feel chafing, chamois cream or not. I have a fairly unpadded saddle (er, scrub that, a rock hard Selle Italia SLR), and there just isn't enough padding there. I even had the same chafing problem with a squishier Selle San Marco saddle as well, so think it's the bibshorts which aren't up to the job.

I'll be making a trip to Decathlon soon in order to get more (will try the 700s this time probably). Top Clydesdales recommend it.

Well over 100kgs and the £40 BTwin shorts do the job for me. Aerofits (£50 version) have same pad but for some reason not as comfy as the cheaper model. Previously worn Santini Slice shorts from Prendas (who cater for the larger gentleman admirably) and they've been absolutely fine on a 70-miler.

Agree on the Assos. I'm 90 kilos and they are ace. Also I'd really recommend the Merlin Elite Bib shorts, they have a brilliant firm pad as well.

Rapha Brevet shorts are really comfortable.  Better and thicker pad than the other shorts they do. Pricey though.

I find that Dare2b AEP bibs work well. I have big legs so need a XXL.

BTwin's 700 model (not aerofit).  Has a very firm gel pad that softens nicely when used.  My 92kg finds them very comfortable - and only £40, bargain.
