Pad-less Bib Longs

Post by Boab »

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...

I'm sure I had some 3/4 from Polaris. Obviously not full length but a decent sock covered up any gap.

The only ones I have are the (no longer available) Endura Stealth/Stealth Extreme.

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

I have some Pearl Izumi ones. Had them a long time but they still do some. Search "Pearl Izumi bib tights - no pad".

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

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.

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.

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.......

7mesh do a pair with removable bib straps. Good if you can get them in a sale!

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... 😳

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...

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.
