Looking at some of the sales/deals on at the moment and need some decent winter bib tights. There are great deals on the following -
Gore Power 2.0 Thermo
Castelli Velocissimo
Sportful Bodyfit Pro Thermal

Anyone got any thoughts on any of these?
Otherwise it'll be onto full price and I'm looking at £50-100 but preferably at the lower end!

    Not on your list but I really rate my endura thermolite bib tights. Warm, great pad, good fit. Only negative is the logo peels in the wash but would definitely recommend.
    All the gear and no idea...

    Had these for 2 years, cannot recommend them enough. Wear them all winter, never get cold legs. They are unpadded, but I normally wear my bibs underneath. Did the South Downs epic last year wearing them, it was torrential rain & windy, but not once did I feel uncomfortable. Sizing is pretty spot on too.

    I sometimes wear running tights under my bib shorts. My Nike Extreme's are waterproof and have extra thickening in the key areas. Ideal for 5-10degC days.

    For proper winter days, my Castelli Sorpasso are perfect.

    I have the Castelli Velocissimo and think they are great. A good pad and keep me nice and warm until it gets below 5 degrees. As always with Castelli check the sizing before buying!

    The one you linked are the padded version.
    I have these and I recommand them.

    These are the extra insulated version for when it's very cold (like below zero) but I havn't felt the need for them in Hampshire last winter.
