Bib-shorts for commuting purposes

portland_bill

I love my bib shorts but my Altura Ergofit ones just fell to bits within a couple of months so they've gone back to Altura to see if I can get some new ones or a refund.

If I get a refund, can anyone recommend some decent and hardwearing bib-shorts that would comfortably live up to a 2 maybe 3 time a week commute of approx 36 miles round trip?

Cheers y'all!

+1 i have DHB and they're really good. i've had them for a while and no issues what so ever. just one of those purchases i dont have to worry again until i come in to some more money and buy the team sky stuff.

Tried/owned a lot (Rapha/Assos/Castelli) but for the commute you need comfort and value. So either dhb from Wiggle or the Santini ones from Prendas should fit the bill imo

+1 Endura FS260. The Pro versions are even nicer..

I also had some altura bibs and they bobbled up after only 2 rides, very disappointing because other altura stuff I have has been good. My default commuter shorts are a pair of Edinburgh Cycles Revolution 3/4s which don't have the greatest pad in the world but are fine for my 25mile round trip and are into their 3rd year.

Why wear bib-shorts? I was under the impression that you are commuting to/from work. Shorts should work well. I use Decathlon shorts which as served me well over the year.
