dhb Pace Roubaix Bib Tight with Pad 2011 - opinions

superfly777

I'm looking for some Bib Tights for winter and found the dhb Pace Roubaix Bib Tight with Pad 2011 on the wiggle website... http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-pace-roubai ... -pad-2011/
Has anyone got these and/or tried these out in winter weather yet? I wanted to make sure they'd be warm enough for very cold temperatures. Paying an extra £30 for the Super Roubaix seems unneccessary.

I've got the Pace waist tights without pad and they're warm enough for -7 degrees.

I have the 2010 previous versions and they are really good. Comfortable and warm when I have used them down to about -5'c. Also not bad in a light shower as they dry quick. I assume the 2011's are similar

not got a pair but am considering getting some.
reviews on wiggle from users seem very very good.

I've got a pair. It's the first bib tight I've owned so I have nothing to compare it to. I've worn it every ride since it came, the Lycra is incredibly soft on the inside and it keeps me nice and toasty on rides. I've been really impressed with it and I'm glad I ordered it. I ordered mine based on my height, and it seems to fit me well.

Oh and a little trick for you, sign up to the wiggle newsletter and you get a £5 voucher for when you spend over £50. So make up the £48.99 up to £50 and use the voucher and you will get the bib tight for £45 (at least I managed to do this).

rode mine a few times and would say not super warm around the nad area

I've got one of the Merston which is pretty much an autumn/spring item I reckon, but the Super Roubaix version of the Pace is superb IMO, great fit and no hint of cold down to a breezy -3oC that I can vouch for - splash the extra cash!

I've been wearing mine for the first time this week on my commute, very comfy but have had slightly chilly thighs, if i was going to be spending a couple of hours out in these negative tempretures then i'd be tempted to go for the super Roubaix ones, but for less than an hour or our more usual milder winters then they're spot on.

I'd mostly be using them for saturday morning club rides of about 4 hours. If I was thinking of the superroubaix version then, is this the best winter bib tight for £70 or under then? Or can I get something better for less?

My pair turned up on Sunday, only done the 30min commute in them so far but initial impressions are good. I've never had a bad bit of dhb kit TBO.

I think it depends on what you are doing along with the temp, I found them a bit cool for +5C on a longer ride 6 hours ish but if you are just looking at a fast ride for an hour they would be fine.

All depends on how much ur pushing yourself....

+many for the Lusso max repel padless bib tights in Super roubaix-warm when very cold and good insulation in driving cold rain eg Cat and Fiddle challenge

Cant fault them,worth a lot more than that.

Quite stretchy and tight so dont buy them too small but warm and very comfy even at zero degrees. I much prefer these to my Assos winter bibs.

the dhb bib tights I had lasted about a 18months of commuting then the stitching started to come loose on the padding. I since switched brand to Giordana there is an increase in quality imho

Has anyone else used the Lusso tights, or even better, able to compare them to the DHB Roubaix's
