Hi, I'm after some new shorts/bibs as I'm currently wearing the padded liner that came with my Endura Humvee shorts (I'm not going to lie, I’m a mtb'er at heart) with football shorts over the top as they a horribly short.

So, as above can you recommend me something with a nice long leg length, looking to spend about £50 give or take.

I did have a pair of the cheapest Shutt bibs but never really got on with them and they where short in the leg as well, so not these.

    Not had enough shorts to be able to gauge lengths, but how about the "knicker" over the knee type?

    I prefer mine to my shorts even when it\s hot.

    Giordana are the longest I've used, and good shorts. The FRC ones are good, but probably a bit more than your budget. See Ribble, they may have some deals. The Tenax is a good budget short but it's been discontinued I think.

    Thanks for the replies.

    3/4's are to warm I find, I have some for mtb'ing when it's cooler.

    I'll have a look at Giordana, I'll probably just get a pair of the cheapest to be honest.
