Bib Short recommendations

bother

I have a pair of DHB Earnley shorts and find that the chamois is often too far forward under me and I'm not sitting on it properly.

Is this the shorts themselves or am I doing something else wrong?

I have been looking at other shorts, like Endura FS260-Pro which seem to have a much more substantial chamois.

Any thoughts or recommendations on this?

For a similar price you could try Giordana Tenax which me and many others on these forums recommend. Note that their sizing is a bit on the small size so check the sizing chart. I'm sure you'll get some other recommendations as well.

...spent my last two lunchbreaks in Evans trying on a variety of bib shorts from medium thru to XL...settled on a pair of Scott Helium Top in Large...reduced from £79.99 to £39.99, I guess due to being "athletic fit" - sometimes it pays to be on the slender side! Anyway, they fitted best, very comfy indeed (in the shop at least!) compared to Altura and Gore...

I have soem Wiggle team shorts, which I believe have the same insert as the Earnleys, and some Endura club kit (with the same 6000 series pad as the FS260s).

The Endura pad is smaller, but much more comfy to me.

Thumbs up for Endura FS260 Pros.

I've also had the same problem with the pad being too far forward and not really covering the most important part of my ass with the D&B Earnley shorts.
Got a deal on some Descente 3/4 cold out bibs that I'll be trying out soon now that its getting a bit colder up here.
Will definately be looking at other shorts for next summer.

Would that be the Tenax Carbon or the Tenax Laser??

I've got the Tenax Laser but ordered from the linked page which claims to be the Tenax Carbon. I hadn't noticed that before and am now officially confused.
