Budget Bib Shorts - seen any good offers

Tjgoodhew

Just after a budget pair of shorts for use on the turbo meaning i dont have to keep washing my nice shorts.

Looking at spending about £25-£30.

Anybody seen any in the sale for this sort of price ? If not i will prob just grab a pair of the cheap DHB from Wiggle which I understand are pretty good for the money ?

Some cheap ones here - http://www.ekoi.fr/en/14-bib-shorts. I think you might need to buy a couple to get free postage.

I've some of the flashier DHB ones though and they are very good.

As always, have a look at Planet X - shorts from a fiver

These are very good vfm, though irratingly for you, they were down to £17.50 iirc back in November I think it was.

Check out startcycles as well, they often have cheap branded clothing with big reductions.

I've not tried these, probably the most basic Nalini bibs you can buy but should be ok for the turbo at only £11.91

I've got some Decathlon aerofit 900, got them cheap, about 35 quid I think. Claim to be the same ones FDJ use. Either way I like 'em.

Wow, don't think you will beat that for value - Nalini are a wholly decent make.

A Startcycles offering (Good reviews it would seem):

These might be perfectly good, but I ordered some Altura airsteam bibs from Evans (2 pairs), as to be honest they were pretty horrid, the material felt really cheap, the fit (for me) was not nice at all, the pad was so - so, and these were meant to be £40 bibs.

I begrudgingly use them for my turbo training as I intend to get my moneys worth, but the other pair got sent back for a refund.

As I say, the ones above might be perfectly fine, but just my personal experience of another Altura product, and I was dissapointed.

In contrast the Planet X ones I nabbed for £17.50 are excellent quality, fit (for me), and a good pad.
