I know everyone is different, and what fits one doesn't necessarily fit another, but I was wondering what are considered the best bib shorts for under £75?

I've been looking at the Castelli Presto and dhb finchdean, and various others? Anyone tried these? I do like the look of the Castelli Presto, but read somewhere the kiss3 pad is not good?

Anyone who says buy a pair of Assos needs shooting! I don't have that sort of money, and wouldn't want to spend that much even if I did! Assos may be great, but there a no no.

Could anyone recommend a top quality pair of short within my budget? Or anyone tried the Castelli Presto, or have any other comments, before I part with my hard earned cash?

    I'd consider these:

    I got a pair and am considering buying more before they run out. So many good reviews on here and my own experience has been nothing but positive.

    I picked up some Gore Xenon for that (on offer) and they are excellent. Got some 3/4s too.

    Otherwise the Tenax are also great

    Don't get Castelli stuff with the KISS pad, it is easily the worst one I have.

    The Giordana Tenax, Gore stuff and Santini bibs mentioned above are all great shouts for that sort of money.
