Hello all I'm in the market for some new bib shorts after being at the end of my teather with a batch of Lusso ones I bought with what looks like a wool pad. No good at all so I was wondering what should I buy for long ride comfort that won't wear the outer fabric quickly. Thoughts apreciated

    An idea of budget would help narrow the selection down a bit.

    I had top end craft ones for a few a years and they are still good for long distance.
    Get them in a sale for about £75 if i recall

    DHB are supposed to be nice for that money but none of my my DHB has lasted as long

    Endura FS260 Pro Bib shorts, saw them on offer for about £40 recently so you can get 2 pairs.

    If you can push your budget a little bit then the Assos Outlet have F1 Uno S5 bibs at £97.

    Some good deals on Castelli Free Aero at the moment too e.g. Wiggle for £80 - Projetto pad is one of the best IMO.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Castelli Free Aero Race just came down to around £80 on wiggle. They're a bargain at the price.

    The lower model (velocissimo) has a slightly less excellent pad, but is also a bargain at £65-70.

    Sizing is fairly Italian though, a castelli large is slightly tighter fitting than a DHB medium.
    Red bikes are the fastest.
