Shoddy shorts are guaranteed to spoil your Sunday morning ride quicker than you can say “saddle sore”, but
modern fabrics and clever designs mean you can now buy an amazing pair without breaking the bank.

If you’ve never tried bib shorts before, we reckon you’ll be amazed how comfortable a decent pair can be.
And if it’s a few years since you last invested in a pair you might be pleasantly surprised at how they have
improved.

To test out the best designs on the market right now we’ve ridden in rain and sun, up hills and down dales.
We’ve also washed and dried them and pulled at seams to check the stitching.
