Pad-less Bib Longs
Does anyone have any recommendations for pad-less bib longs...? My leg warmers aren't cutting it when it gets down to zero, so I'm considering something else to pull over my existing bibs to provide extra warmth. The pad-less variety seem rather few and far between...
There are theories at the bottom of my jargon.

Re: Pad-less Bib Longs
I'm sure I had some 3/4 from Polaris. Obviously not full length but a decent sock covered up any gap.
May the bridges you burn light your way

The only ones I have are the (no longer available) Endura Stealth/Stealth Extreme.
Re: Pad-less Bib Longs

Re: Pad-less Bib Longs
I recently got some Madison ones, though they're tights rather than bib longs. Would you need to double-bib?

Re: Pad-less Bib Longs
I have some Pearl Izumi ones. Had them a long time but they still do some. Search "Pearl Izumi bib tights - no pad".
We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

I've got a set of Ràpha Padless bibs that are from the Core (least stupidly priced) range. They do the job for me.

Re: Pad-less Bib Longs
Lusso used to do a nice warm one at a good price. Only gripe is legs are long. Had them a few years now so you will need to check they are still made.

Re: Pad-less Bib Longs
Just bought some Lusso Termicos - available with and without pad. They are really warm but size up if you have long legs. Also got pearl izumi select - not as warm but good for spring and autumn.
Re: Pad-less Bib Longs
Planet X have some in their (never-ending) sale C £25 alternatively Galibier.

Re: Pad-less Bib Longs
If you already have bibs, and just want a bit of extra warmth, then you could think of just getting some running tights. Cheaper, plentiful, padless and in more funky colours than you could ever need.......

Re: Pad-less Bib Longs
7mesh do a pair with removable bib straps. Good if you can get them in a sale!
Re: Pad-less Bib Longs
Thanks all, a few options there to consider. I didn't realise the Galibier bib longs came in a pad-less version, they however, are still on the naughty step for refusing to replace the bibs that had failing lycra after four rides. I'm also not sure the world is ready to see me in fluro technicolor running tights either...
There are theories at the bottom of my jargon.
Re: Pad-less Bib Longs
Only a year after first looking, but bought some Endura Pro SL Cycling Bib Tights II Without Pad in a sale the other day. Fingers crossed they fit...

Re: Pad-less Bib Longs
I also like the Lusso's and agree the legs are long on my model. Had them a good few winters now so design may have altered.
