Winter bib tights

road_runner12

With such a selection available from a variety of brands, what bib tights will keep me warm this winter?

Budget £50 - £75

Think you'll have a few to choose from mate.
Get a nice roubaix pair?
I've got Lusso ones that weren't too expensive but do me fine.
I'm not out in really cold weather though.

I got some Giordana Siliverline tights for £70. They seem pretty warm and have a pad insert in them. Only worn them a couple of times so far but they seem pretty good.

Before them I had some Lusso Max Repel ones. They don't have a pad in them so I wore shorts underneath. They served me well fo 10 years and I would highly recommend them.

I got the DHB Merstons which are a roubaix type material and have a decent pad. Good in the cold and the wet. Different models this year but should be similarly good

These http://www.shuttvr.com/shop/productdetail.php?id=Shutt_BibTights look good, not padded though so need to be worn over shorts.

I got the Giordana Technical Windscreen Bib Tights in November, fully recommend, good wind protection. You do need to wear padded shorts underneath if you need the pad, but the extra layer is good in the cold. http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/Giordana-BIB-TIGHTS-Giordana-Technical-Windscreen-Bib-Tight/GIORZBBT350

Personally the dhb Pace Super Roubaix, top of your budget but you should get 20% off this weekend - cannot fault mine although I can't compare many, other dhb bibs and Santini really

If you don't mind dark blue get a pair of these.They really are a bargain and very warm.Vermarc are a Belgium company and make the team issue kit for Team Quickstep.The slightly fleecy roubaix material makes for a snug 'max wall' type fit but so do most tights!The pad is a decent quality aswell.

I'm currently waiting for a pair of these in the post. Has anyone got a pair?

Sorry to post about this again.

Got the flu today so I want to get my decision done on the winter tights. Missed out on the last offer with Wiggle but found out they're doing 20% off bib tights until 3ish.

Just wanted to find out if anyone had any comments or suggestions on the winter tights available on Wiggle? Good or bad, feel free to pass comment. Trying to get an overall view of what I should be looking at.

I've got the DHB Super roubaix bibs and the fit is excellent, the quality is excellent.

The only thing I would change is that although the ankle zips are YKK and are of excellent quality, they don't 'lock down', instead they flap around when your walking!

Probably my OCD coming out!

All in all though, they are excellent for the money, especially with 20% off!

Have looked at the dhb stuff and it's had good reviews. How does it compare with gore stuff of a similar price?

careful

Personally the dhb Pace Super Roubaix

+1
I have tried loads,including Assos winter bibs and Lusso Max repel. The dhb can't be beaten IMO.

I have and they are excellent. Nice and warm and very comfortable. I was a little wary about them having no pad in as I didn't want to have to wear two pairs of everything but in practice I think I prefer it. They can go through a couple of rides without needing washing in the dry and it means you don't have to buy shorts, tights all the time etc.
