    I know they're not bib tights but....

    Sports direct are selling Lonsdale lycra/base layer stuff very very cheap.

    They had 3/4 leggings for peanuts!

    DHB stuff from Wiggle is good,as is Luso if you are on a budget.

    I've had some Biemme ones from Decathlon for what will be their 4th winter and they're very good.I fell off and ripped the knee a couple of years back and stitched them myself and they've held ever since 8) I've worn them in the Dark Peak on night rides down to around -10 and they've been faultless...£45 well spent.
    I don't know if they still do them though :roll:

    If I were buying I'd go with the Wiggle ones - have good customer reviews saying they are warm and comfortable...... May invest myself!

    I bought some of the DHB ones last week, haven't been out in them yet but they're very well made and they feel warm when I did my Models 1 impersonation in the lounge - almost made the girlfriend choke with laughter :D

    I'm also going to have to plan my pee stops a bit better because there's no quick escape :oops:

    Recommended from me!

    I got soem decathlon ones this weekend, padding is good, they are warm but the sizing seems way off base, far too small

    I'm normally a large and the XL are tight on me. I should have gone back and got some XXL but Decathlon twice in one weekend was more than enough

    The DHB roubiax ones are great, warm but not overly.

    Nicely cut and very comfortable (apart from a label that needs cutting out from the back panel) with a super pad.

    I have the 3/4 ones and they kept my knees warm on a 3 hour ride in temps of -3 this weekend, although they make toilet stops interesting, especially in those temps !!
