Now I know it's probably down to personal preference but can any one recommend me so nice comfortable bib shorts with a decent pad for comfort on longer rides.

Thanks all

Very good in my opinion, good value and British too.

Sorry, vital bit of info I forgot to put down.

Preferably around £75 unless they are really rated then up a little bit.

I've got a couple of pairs of these, they may not be Rapha, or Assus, or Castelli, but I'm impressed so far:

Pearl Izumi around that price are good. I've also found Nalini and Campag to be very comfortable.

I've got the short sleeve top. Really really good.

Just got some Altura ProGel bibs. They're damn comfy. I like all-black.

Whichever of these takes your fancy/fits your budget. I have several of the plain black and they are all good for a day in the saddle

If you buy Bontrager shorts then you'll get a 30 day unconditional comfort guarantee.
