Padless Bib Tight Options

doug5_10

With a decent collections of shorts already, I don't see the point in splashing out on more pads when I've got perfectly comfortable long distance bum cushions. Already have some cheaper padded DHB tights which are OK for commuting etc. but not too hot for longer distances or when its seriously baltic. Looking to get some with preferably windproof knees and crotch at least (i tend to suffer here in the cold) to use with my shorts for when its proper nose-dribblingly cold. Padless options from most manufacturers seem a bit like hen's teeth though, just the odd 1 or 2 models in vast ranges. Limit is probably 100 nicker max, fire away with your BR recommendations!

Seen these today for about £90 for padless version. Looked pretty decent.

Rose bike have different "windstopper" options, some of which are less than £100. I have only used Gore Oxygen in the padded version, these are really excellent. I am thinking of getting a pair of unpadded ones as well, though these are over the £100 mark I think they are well worth it.

For British / Irish winters would you recommend the likes of castelli sorpasso or velocissimo?
Also thinking about the no rain type bibs from castelli or sportful.

Any other recommendations?

Lusso Roubaix. Lovely and toasty in British winter.

These look promising from the link above, wonder if anyone has them to comment on them?

Anyone have a link to them in the UK which are easier to return if they don't fit well?
