Is there ever a good time for 3/4 length bibshorts?
I've eschewed the 3/4 length bibshort. It seems such a half-way house between the standard and full-length bibshort. If it's warm standard shorts apply and if it is cold, then full-length ones sort that out.....and if there is any doubt then having the leg warmers covers the bases.
But this year, with the onset of autumn I've been thinking about 3/4 length for a change. Perhaps I don't want my porridge too hot, nor too cold, but just right.
I thought I would do a quick straw-poll as to what your thoughts are, yay or nay? At point when the mercury dips do you decide on these?
OR should I apply rule #5?

I fail to see why that is any more valid. The markets are not comparable, my point was about how some brands can sell overpriced, inferior products...

Very useful. Decided could do without 'em and just use knee warmers, but changed my mind. Knee warmers are a fiddle.
Knee warmers. Cheaper and more versatile. I've been wearing mine for weeks and it'll be a while before it's cold enough for tights.

If you have iffy knees like I do then 3/4s will help. Someone recommended me the Endura FS260Pros and mine are still going strong 4 years later. I recently bought the Endura Equipe's which have a fleece backing and are comfy but tbh I can't help thinking I should just have got another pair of the 260s.
I too was a non-believer until I tried them.
I flipping love 'em.
I find it comes between being a glass-half-full and a glass-half-empty kind of situation.
Yeah, if in doubt, #5
