as I live in not so sunny Wales I'm starting to get ready for winter riding or at least cold weather riding, So any suggestions or recommendations for a pair of 3/4 tights, I don't want to spend more than 60 quid,

3/4 always seem a bit of a waste of dosh as there's so few days you can wear them. Why not get some knee warmers and carry on wearing your bib shorts?0

Pace roubaix - from wiggles DHB range - they are warm and comfy and wont break the bank.
Looking to get the full tight versions for the winter.
I currently wear the Pace (normal) 3/4 at the moment and i dont mind wearing them even on the hottest of days."If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got."

Don't buy them. Bibshorts and kneewarmers are more logical.0

I've just collected a set of full length from cycle-clothing.co.uk, as they're fully 5 miles away from where I live.
Cracking quality full length bib shorts with a pad for £35. They also do 3/4s, but not bibs.

DHBs are good.
Shorts arent typically roubaix material though - just thinner lycra - so you could get by with them and kneewarmers - but I prefer the 3/4s.0 -

Not sure I agree, if you're talking about winter-weight ones. I have the dhb Merston ones in full length and 3/4 and I wear the 3/4 ones a lot more.
But if you're talking about normal weight ones then yeah, knee warmers probably make more sense.0 -
Can recommend the Specialized RBX 3/4. Roubaix material really comfy and the chamois is very comfy too.
I think the RRP is a little more than £60 but if you shop around you might get a deal, I did.0 -

If its cold enough that kneewarmers and shorts leave your c0k a little too cold, then its cold enough to cover your shins.0 -
I was looking for a pair a couple of weeks ago and stuck a similar thread on here myself.
Eventually ended up going for the dhb Pace Roubaix and I'm happy with them.0 -
Selling my brand new rapha cross 3/4 in large but £50 more than your budget... maybe someone else is interested.0
